Super Blue Blood Moon Shots

If like myself, last night you were looking forward to blowing the dust off the lenses and getting out there to photograph Lunar eclipse after having counted the cost of boldly braving the sudden nocturnal cold snap as nothing but, also like me you are a citizen of Sydney, you're probably feeling robbed for the most part this morning.
Clouds at low and high altitudes conspired with relatively high winds to make the whole thing a bit of a fizzer from our point of view after all.

None the less, the same was not the the experience for other astronomy amateurs buffs (and professionals) across Oz.

I've put together a sampling below of what we here in the Harbour City missed out on seeing for ourselves last night.

Will let them speak for them selves. Enjoy.

Stargazers, space junkies, people who like the outdoors & pretty much everyone should see #SuperBlueBloodMoon tomorrow (Wednesday) night. #Perth, as always, will have spectacular views - clear (mostly) unpolluted skies, great position! From 7:48pm AWST https://t.co/nVrPDLZrPJ

My Grandmother used to say to me that "nothing good happens in Darlinghurst after dark" anyway.

Wise woman.

Universal Common Problems

The Tyranny of Toddlers: A Universal Problem.

I have it from a good though somewhat sleep deprived authority that, if like me you are not blessed with walking, talking, food and money consuming reminders of the passage of the years and the futility of modern 1st world consumerism*, then you have no idea of the constant state of anxiety that results from the ever ending onslaught of spontaneous public disasters that toddlers manufacture with production line efficiency with seeming zero effort and planning. Though they may be fashioned in your and your partner's (or maybe even "other concerned know or unknown party's) image, study after study has without deviation proven that

the behaviour of as yet not socialised tiny but terrifying toddler has lasting effects on it's parents career prospects, long term social standing, financial situation, digestive, physical and mental health.

that the fate that befell Professor Robert Kelly while being interviewed live-to-air for a program on BBC News International and captured on a NFBVOV* YouTube video is neither an exaggerated nor atypical example of the unexpected trouble toddlers can cause you no matter what the time of day, what you happen to be doing or where circumstances may find you.

Still unconvinced? The maybe this will answer any niggling doubts you may have.

The Prosecution rests!
