NASA sees light from an ancient Supernova

One of the most amazing things about space for me is its endlessness. Discoveries await about the universe that could take millions of lifetimes. Mysteries abound and new insights dazzle our minds. As beings, we are more enticed to learn more with each new discovery. NASA recently discovered light visible by telescope from a million year old Supernova. I cannot even fathom that reckoning of time.

Asteroid exploded on the Moon

I just read the news on Space Weather about the asteroid exploding on the moon. It blew my mind for a minute until I read how often these small asteroid impacts occur on the moon. This one just happened to be much larger than normal. In fact, Nasa believes it was part of a much larger earth moon system asteroid impact. Since this crazy weather started a few days ago with intense massive tornadoes in wide regions, I have been watching the CME and solar flare reports from NASA. I know that earth is directly affected by these solar electromagnetic explosions. There is no doubt in my mind. Compare the events on the sun, the moon and the earth for yourself and see just how directly related life on earth is to events in our solar system. It is a sobering realization.

Comet ISON has captured sky gazers attention

There are so many mysterious realities that we have yet to explore regarding space and time and dimensions. It is a seemingly endless quest for truth and knowledge that consumes some people for a lifetime. There are professions completely dedicated to space exploration or to the study of time or quantum physics. Personally, I have more questions than answers but I will never stop asking or seeking. 

The fifth dimension explored

Earth exists in time and in a space defined as the third dimension. This space is defined by science utilizing various equations drawn from quantum physics. That is hard enough to understand. We are going to explore the next realm for the existence of the new heavens and the new earth as described in Biblical passages. Earth will be renewed in the fifth dimension plane. What exactly does that mean? Let's explore the possibilities. 



I know that space and time are governed by variables such as gravity and electromagnetic force. I also believe that in this universe there are multiple dimensions that are filled with as many limitless possibilities. In addition, I grapple with the belief that earth was created for a specific purpose in the third dimension to allow our human existence to maintain its balance in this space. We came from an immortal eternal plane that was without time or a defined space. In the Bible, it is written that the past, the present and the future are one with God and always before His face. That means, to me, that in the eternal realms we can travel boundless and timeless through the dimensional spaces of existence. In my thoughts, it also means that we can travel within seconds from the future to the past and back again, all without time moving even one second. That brings new meaning to becoming ageless!

As you can see, my mind grapples with the endless possibilities. Many of the facts that we know are just theories that are still being explored. I suppose humanity will continue to explore the substance of its existence eternally and may never know all the answers. That gives plenty of reasons to continue returning to a plane of existence in some time and space. 

There is so much to explore and so many questions to ask so that we can seek the answers. This life experience is one great adventure. Come back to explore as we attempt to define third dimension time so we can take a quantum jump into the fifth dimension together.

Skywatchers have to dress for work

Dedicated skywatchers know how important it is to catch that next news clip on the latest planet or star discovery. They also live real lives and have important things happening with their families and work. Getting dressed seems like a mundane task compared to space probing but it's important if you work in the medical field and wear nursing scrubs every day. Now you might think that this type of uniform would limit your decision making, but that is no longer true. Companies are creating news designs every day and one company has revolutionized the uniform beyond the fashion worlds' expectations. Blue Sky Scrubs is a company that should make you sit up and take notice. They are not launching the next shuttle or star probe but they are launching the latest line in Simple Scrubs made with unique fabrics, shapes, textures and sewing designs. I can't really tell you if the folks at NASA wear scrubs to work but if they did I bet the medical staff would choose this scrubs top over the old fashioned lab coat any day!

Tel-Aviv for Christmas time!

The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez

Our family has a little holiday tradition that some may think to be odd. We fly to Tel-Aviv at the beginning of the season and study the culture there. This season we decided to watch Israeli cinema and learn about the language. We have been staying with Ben and Mishka for the time being. My daughter is fascinated with Israeli "New Sensitivity" cinema. My preference has been the films from the new century because of their production value and increase in star power.

Before we left the house in New Jersey we set our home security alarm (HERE). The food has been to die for here. Marsha always forgets how much she loves to eat lamb. I prefer Egyptian food to Israeli food but for some reason this year's Israeli cuisine strikes home much more than I am accustomed to. The films we have studied have given us a new reason to celebrate the varied culture of the Israeli people. Ben and Mishka have given us space when we have needed it and have taken us to all of the best markets in the area. We are hoping to avoid going to the Gaza Strip once we have left this year. The violence has simmered down but it is better to be prepared for anything possible event that could happen. I am eager to celebrate Christmas.

A Little Shock Value On New Year's Eve

This guest post from Edgardo Rosa

New Year's Eve can be very predictable. At exactly midnight, a ball will drop in the middle of Times Square and millions of people around the world will kiss, cheer, and celebrate. This might be exciting to other people, but it's not very exciting to me. On the other hand, some programs on New Year's Eve are capable of keeping me entertained. More importantly, they are capable of keeping me on my toes. I love the unexpected. I don't know why, but I've always been that way. The most unexpected events in my life have led to the most memorable times in my life - some good and some bad. This is the only reason I'm watching Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin this New Year's Eve. There are going to be several great options to choose from on my satellite tv, but this is at the top of my list. The reason is because of Kathy Griffin. I like and respect Anderson Cooper a lot more, but he's not going to say or do something I don't expect. Im also not a fan of people who make a career out of shock value, but I cant keep myself from watching. There is little doubt in my mind that she will say or do something that will make the news. I would like to be there - or at least watching it on Direc4U television - when it happens.

Gaylord Opryland and All The Lights In Between

Post contributed by Leonard Phelps

Going to look at Christmas lights is a family tradition in my home. Christmas time is simply amazing, and the lights are such a beauty to the city. Some people do so much in the way of decorating and lights, and it is a joy to see them all. We especially enjoy going to Gaylord Opryland each year to see their decorations. They always go above and beyond anyone else in the city. The humongous Christmas tree that they decorate is also a wonderful site to see.

Myself, my two daughters, and husband load the mini van up and head out, but of course not before we set our home security alarm system (pricing home security)! Christmas time is a great time for thieves, and I would not want to come back home to an empty house after such an enjoyable evening with my family. We spend the entire evening at Gaylord, and driving around town looking at all of the houses and businesses that have put up their lights. Going to see the Christmas lights is one of the best things about the entire holiday season!

The Tradition of "Miracle on 34th Street"

Thanks to Olga Quinn

Ever since I was about eight years old, "Miracle on 34th Street" has been my absolute favorite Christmas special of all time. Though I also loved the animated Christmas specials like "The Little Drummer Boy," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" as a kid, "Miracle on 34th Street" is one of the few movies that I somehow enjoy even more as an adult than I ever did before.

My mom and I watch it together every year when it comes on Satalite TV Specials. We love to reminisce about watching it in years past, because we always incorporate some kind of Christmas tradition into our viewing of it. Some years we'll wrap Christmas presents while we watch, while other years, we decorate the tree during it. My favorite thing to do while watching the movie is Christmas baking. It's both fun and delicious!

"Miracle on 34th Street" is the type of classic movie that I hope to continue watching all my life and to share with my own kids every year someday. It tells such a beautiful story of love and hope during the Christmas season, along with the basic goodness of people and human compassion. Best of all, the Santa in "Miracle on 34th Street" is by far the most realistic looking Santa in any Christmas movie I've ever seen!

Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse dazzled Sky Watchers

A rare event occurred the other night that kept sky watchers up all night in hopes of catching a rare glimpse. If you are a fan of celestial shows, then you know that the winter solstice lunar eclipse happens once in a lifetime.
