My name's Barry. I live in Sydney Australia.

We got a reasonably good view of the eclipse of the moon last night. Was cloudy to start with, but cleared up later when the full eclipse happened. The event began about 11.45PM and ended about 2.45AM, so we were in a good position to see it all. I'll share some of what I saw here with this video

Man, haven't seen any of the Lunar eclipses this year at all. Maybe in 2014 I'll see the next total one, it's actually visible from all of NA.
 
Let's hope you guys get to see the next one too!

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
