i want to do my bedroom in the colors and all from the painting what are some ideas anyone may have and where can i find fabrics by the yard with his starry night painting it i want to make my own daybed cover and make pillow cases and sheets and curtains with the panting on it?

Don’t recall seeing it on fabrics since the early 90’s, but guess what popped up on a quick google search?

Note: fabric prints like these tend not to stay in print for long… once the yardage is gone, that’s it.

Hubble Telescope: Pluto’s Changing Surface

Hubble Space Telescope Reveals Pluto’s Changing Surface.

4th February 2010- http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100204/tsc-blushing-pluto-dwarf-planet-takes-on-e123fef.html

Pluto, the dwarf planet on the outer edge of our solar system, has a dramatically ruddier hue than it did just a few years ago, NASA scientists said Thursday, after examining photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

They said the distant orb appears mottled and molasses-colored in recent pictures, with a markedly redder tone that most likely is the result of surface ice melting on Pluto’s sunlit pole and then refreezing on the other pole.

The remarkable color shift, which apparently took place between 2000 and 2002, confirms that Pluto is a dynamic world undergoing dramatic atmospheric changes and not simply a ball of ice and rock, according to scientists at the US space agency.

They said they will compare Hubble pictures taken in 1994 with some from 2002 and 2003, as they search for more signs of seasonal change, including evidence that Pluto’s northern polar region has gotten brighter, while the southern hemisphere has darkened.

“The Hubble observations are the key to… showing how it all makes sense by providing a context based on weather and seasonal changes, which opens other new lines of investigation,” said the leader of the study, principal investigator Marc Buie of the Southwest Research Institute in the western US city of Boulder, Colorado.

Pluto — declassified as a full-fledged planet in August 2006 — has a 248-year orbit and an axial tilt which, unlike Earth, alone drives the seasons. The icy orb’s seasons are asymmetrical because of its elliptical orbit.

Spring transitions to polar summer quickly in the northern hemisphere, because Pluto is moving faster along its orbit when it is closer to the sun, NASA said.

Scientists are hoping to collect additional riveting snapshots of Pluto when NASA’s next space probe, dubbed New Horizons, flies by the dwarf planet in 2015.

Hubble underwent repair during a space shuttle mission last year that left it with a new camera and spectrograph, as well as spruced up scientific instruments.

The repair job marked the end of NASA’s human missions to the beloved Hubble. Launched in 1990, the telescope was repaired and upgraded in 1993, 1997, 1999, 2002 and 2008.

Last year’s final upgrade extended the life of Hubble another five years.

After 2 1/2 months with a broken telescope, the Cape Cod Astronomical Society has gotten back the 16″ Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope under warranty from Meade Corporation. This short shows the Cape Cod Astronomical Society team remounting the telscope and firing it up for the first time after reinstalling.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Moonless Starry Night (english)

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:18:06 +0000

My first try at this kind of video. Never had much luck finding this song but I’ve finally got hold of it, enjoy.

English version of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles ending song.
Song: Moonless Starry Night
Artist: Donna Burke
If you want the song send me a message and I’ll give you the link.

Lyrics:
Face to the sea
I hear the wind
Calling me to truth
Close your eyes
And dream beneath
The warmth of skies of blue
Longing to rest my weary bones
So long the path
O be still my soul
Don’t say a word
I know what’s on your mind anytime
Follow the path and you will see
Together we can sigh
Holding dear times in mind
Friends stay near
They guided my path and my heart
I thank you

When the night was creeping and frightening
Then I saw the love of my mother dear
Aching for the arms of my family
Holding back the tears
Holding back the darkness
Moonless starry night
Am I stronger, wiser than
When I first met you?
Could it be that I’ve grown and changed?
I’m happy if it’s true
In the dark of night
Don’t be scared, believe me
I can show you what’s right
Follow the path of light
Together we’ll shine
In the moonless starry night
