Mildred and Margaret Wanted Me to Put A Thank You Note On For Them

Good deeds are hard to come by
And genuine affection is not what you can buy.
For matters of the heart are pure,
And in your case we are very sure.
Thank you for all that you have done,
You, in our darkest hour have been our sun.
We will probably never have the opportunity to meet
But in our hearts your loving and caring will always stay
We can never thank you enough for what you have done for us.
It is rare these days that you find such pearls amongst men
True pearls each and everyone you are and for being there
in our hour of need we will never forget you.

Thank you is not enough for what you have done for us.
Your kindness and generosity will remain in our hearts for
as long as we live.
A prayer, a blessing we will say for each of you everyday.
Thank you for your wonderful gift you have given us and
you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Thank you,
Mildred and Margaret

Astronomy Picture of the Day – Doomed Star Eta Carinae 

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2019 February 20

Doomed Star Eta Carinae 
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing & License: Judy Schmidt

 

Explanation: Eta Carinae may be about to explode. But no one knows when – it may be next year, it may be one million years from now. Eta Carinae’s mass – about 100 times greater than our Sun – makes it an excellent candidate for a full blown supernova. Historical records do show that about 170 years ago Eta Carinae underwent an unusual outburst that made it one of the brightest stars in the southern sky. Eta Carinae, in the Keyhole Nebula, is the only star currently thought to emit natural LASER light. This featured image brings out details in the unusual nebula that surrounds this rogue star. Diffraction spikes, caused by the telescope, are visible as bright multi-colored streaks emanating from Eta Carinae’s center. Two distinct lobes of the Homunculus Nebula encompass the hot central region, while some strange radial streaks are visible in red extending toward the image right. The lobes are filled with lanes of gas and dust which absorb the blue and ultraviolet light emitted near the center. The streaks, however, remain unexplained.

2019 skywatching: Here are the best eclipses and meteor showers of the year

2019 skywatching: Here are the best eclipses and meteor showers of the year

From solar and lunar eclipses to a rare transit of Mercury, there are plenty of celestial events to take in.
By Denise Chow

Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or a night sky newbie, there are plenty of celestial events to take in during 2019. Here are 14 sky shows you shouldn’t miss, including eclipses, meteor showers and a rare transit of Mercury.

JANUARY

Quadrantid meteor shower. Keep the New Year’s celebration going with the first major meteor shower of 2019. Though the Quadrantids start to appear in late December, they peak overnight on Jan. 3-4. The Quadrantids are typically fainter than most other meteor showers, but this year’s show may be a good one because there’s no bright moon to wash out the night sky.

Unlike most meteor showers, which arise when tiny bits of debris from a comet burn up in Earth’s atmosphere, the Quadrantids are thought to be caused by debris from an asteroid.

Partial solar eclipse. Skywatchers in northeast Asia and the north Pacific, including China, Russia and Japan, will be treated to a partial solar eclipse on Jan. 6, as the moon passes between Earth and the sun. The eclipse will start at around 6:34 p.m. ET (23:34 UTC). As with all partial and total solar eclipses, it should be viewed only with special protective glasses or gear.

Total lunar eclipse. People in North and South America and parts of western Europe and Africa will be treated to a total lunar eclipse overnight on Jan. 20-21. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the moon and the sun, blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow over the moon. This one — the last total lunar eclipse until 2021 — promises to be special because it coincides with a “supermoon,” meaning the moon is a bit closer to Earth in its orbit around our planet and thus appears slightly bigger.

APRIL

Lyrid meteor shower. The Lyrids, so named because they seem to arise from the direction of the constellation Lyra, are active from April 16 to April 25 and peak overnight on April 22-23. The Lyrids are caused by debris from Comet Thatcher, which takes about 415 years to complete one orbit around the sun.

MAY

Eta Aquariid meteor shower. The Eta Aquariids are active from April 19 to May 28 and peak overnight on May 5-6. The Eta Aquariids, so named because the shooting stars appear to come from the direction of the constellation Aquarius, are one of two showers created by debris from Halley’s Comet, which takes about 76 years to orbit the sun. The other is the Orionids meteor shower.

JULY

Total solar eclipse. On July 2, people in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, including Chile and Argentina, will be able to see a total solar eclipse, when the moon passing between Earth and the sun fully blocks the sun’s light. A partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of South America, including Ecuador, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. The eclipse will start at 12:55 p.m. ET (16:55 UTC) and reach totality at 3:22 p.m. ET (19:22 UTC).

Partial lunar eclipse. On July 16, skywatchers across much of Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia and South America will be treated to a partial lunar eclipse that reaches its maximum at around 5:30 p.m. ET (21:30 UTC).

AUGUST

Perseid meteor shower. The Perseid meteor shower is typically one of the year’s brightest. These shooting stars are active from around July 17 to Aug. 24 and peak overnight on Aug. 12-13. The Perseids are caused by debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, which orbits the sun once every 133 years.

OCTOBER

Orionid meteor shower. The Orionids are active from about Oct. 2 to Nov. 7 and peak overnight on Oct. 21-22. Named after the constellation Orion, the Orionids are caused by debris from Halley’s Comet.

NOVEMBER

Transit of Mercury. On Nov. 11 the planet Mercury will pass in front of, or transit, the sun, appearing as a tiny black dot against the bright disk of our host star. This transit of Mercury will be the first since 2016 and the last until 2032. As with solar eclipses, planetary transits can cause eye damage if viewed without appropriate gear. A telescope with a magnification of 50x or more that has been equipped with a proper solar filter is recommended for viewing this transit.

Leonid meteor shower. The Leonid meteor shower is active from around Nov. 6 to Nov. 30 and peaks overnight on Nov. 17-18. Named after the constellation Leo, this shower occurs when Earth passes through debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which takes about 33 years to orbit the sun.

DECEMBER

Geminid meteor shower. The Geminids are active from around Dec. 4 to Dec. 17 and peak overnight on Dec. 13-14. Like the Quadrantids, the Geminids are thought to be caused by debris from an asteroid — in this case a space rock known as 3200 Phaethon.

Your EarthSky News for Feb. 20: Have you seen Mercury yet?

Have you seen Mercury yet?

By 

Live in the Northern Hemisphere? If so and you’ve never seen the planet Mercury – or even if you have – take advantage of your golden opportunity to see Mercury after sunset these next few weeks. Late February and early March, 2019, showcase Mercury’s best appearance in the evening sky for this year for northerly latitudes. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you might glimpse Mercury, too, but it’ll be tougher. Your best evening view of Mercury will come in October 2019.

No matter where you are on Earth, here’s how to find Mercury. Make sure you have an unobstructed horizon in the direction of sunset, and, if possible, perch yourself on top of a hill or balcony. Then, as dusk deepens into darkness, look for Mercury to pop out low in the sky close to the sunset point on the horizon. You might see Mercury with the eye alone an hour or so after sunset. With binoculars, you can spot Mercury even earlier.

At mid-northern latitudes, Mercury follows the sun beneath the horizon about 1 1/3 hours after sundown. At Earth’s equator (0 degrees latitude), Mercury sets about one hour after the sun; and at temperate latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, Mercury only stays out for about 40 minutes after sunset.

Click here for a sky almanac, giving you Mercury’s setting time in your sky.

View at EarthSky Community Photos. | EarthSky friend Radu Anghel in Bacau, Romania, caught Mercury after sunset on February 17, 2019. He said it was about an hour after sunset. Thank you, Radu!

Mercury is often said to be elusive. Some people say they’ve never seen it. But that’s not because Mercury is faint. In fact, Mercury is super bright right now, shining some six times more brilliantly than a 1st-magnitude star.

Even so, even when it’s this bright, Mercury isn’t necessarily easy to see. That’s because Mercury only appears in the sky after sunset or before sunrise, when its luster is tarnished by the glow of twilight. Mercury, the innermost planet, orbits the sun inside Earth’s orbit and is often lost in the glare of the sun. But, at opportune times – like now, for the Northern Hemisphere – you can see Mercury fairly easily, if you go outside and look west after sunset.

At present, Mercury is nearing the outer edge of its orbit, as seen from Earth. In fact, one week from now – on February 27, 2019 – Mercury will reach its greatest elongation (maximum angular separation) of 18 degrees east of the setting sun.

Although Mercury’s greatest elongation measures the same in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, Mercury stays out later after dark in the Northern Hemisphere.

That’s because the ecliptic – the pathway of the sun, moon and planets in front of the constellations of the zodiac – hits the evening horizon at a steep angle in late winter, yet at a shallow angle in late summer. Therefore, this evening apparition of Mercury is particularly favorable for the Northern Hemisphere and not so favorable for the Southern Hemisphere. From the Northern Hemisphere now, Mercury should be rather easy pickings.

Mercury is bright in late February, but slowly dimming as seen from Earth, because of its waning phase. Yes, because it’s an inner planet, Mercury shows phases, like a tiny moon. You need a telescope, though, to see Mercury’s phases.

As the days pass this month, Mercury also stays out a little longer after sunset. By this month’s end, Mercury will set about 1 1/2 hours after the sun at mid-northern latitudes. After Mercury sets, look for the zodiacal light.

Bottom line: We’re now in the midst of Mercury’s best evening showing for 2019, for the Northern Hemisphere. At northerly latitudes, watch for Mercury to show itself at early evening – near the sunset point – from now until early March 2019.

Your Ogham Reading for February 20

Your Ogham Reading for February 20

Ruis-Elder

The Elder tree has often been associated with the Goddess and Mother Earth. Anyone who would cut down an Elder was risking bad fortune and ill luck. This letter of the ogham is most likely to show karma in action. Ideas that come to mind are regret, dealing with bad choices, and the inevitable. Especially if this symbol shows up in any future readings it is wise to take precautions on potential decisions.

Fortune – Take the Ruis seriously to avoid any bad luck! This Ogham is a sign of Karma in the works! Stay positive and mindful of potential pitfalls!

 

 

 

Onn-Gorse

While it also may have thorns, Gorse is known for a vibrant yellow flower that can last almost year round. For this reason this plant has become a symbol of vitality. It may be hardy and have some thorns but it protects wildlife and shines bright for everyone to see. When you draw this letter keep in mind optimism, positivity, and vigor. With Onn you will prevail as long as you keep your flower in bloom!

Fortune – This Ogham tells you that you will prevail! Stay happy and optimistic and everything you seek will turn out great!

 

 

 

Ura-Heather

The beauty of heather flowers is one reason it is associated with the Irish Goddess of love, fertility, and new growth. Be happy when you draw this letter because it denotes love, companionship, and passion. Whether it will be a new love or an old love rekindled, Ura is a powerful symbol and one that may bring great luck in your love life.

Fortune – This Ogham deals in matters of Love. Whether it is new love or rekindling of old love, enjoy the peace and love that comes with Ura!

Your Daily Rune for Today

Elhaz

Also known as: Algiz, Eoih, Elgr

Pronunciation: el-hahz

Letter sound: Z

Translation: protection, elk, sedge plant

Keywords: protection, defense, opportunity

Primary Themes Elhaz is the rune of defense and protection. Its shape is said to represent both the elk, with its imposing antlers, and the sedge plant, whose sharp leaves act as natural protection from would-be predators. Both images illustrate the power represented by this rune— a built-in protective force that discourages negative influences from affecting your personal experience.

Drawing Elhaz indicates that you are safe from danger and that there is no need to fear. However, don’t take the protective energy for granted by being reckless with your actions, as this rune does not mean that there is no danger present whatsoever. It simply means that as long as you remain alert and clear-minded and in touch with your intuition, you are headed for a positive outcome. Elhaz has also been interpreted as a symbol of reaching up to connect with the divine for support. By listening to your higher guidance, you will know which moves to make to stay out of harm’s way.

Magical Uses: Protection from negative energy and people, protection of property, strengthen friendships, astral communication

The Emperor

The Emperor is gifted with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order, provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t he may well become a tyrant.

Your Daily Tarot Love Card for Today

The Fool

This card represents the dreamer in you, the idealist, the mystic. The Fool desires to do great things, but is often unaware of just how difficult great things are to do. He must always be very careful of the choices he makes, and remember knowledge is his ally. The Fool often symbolizes a new beginning, unrestrained optimism, and curiosity that hasn’t been dulled by time. While The Fool may well indicate a lack of experience or grasp of the pitfalls along the path he is taking, it is equally true that his lack of experience leads him to believe all things are possible, which brings even impossible goals within his grasp.

Your Personal Tarot Power Card for Today

The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man is the most enigmatic card of the Tarot. Even Tarot giants like Waite, Crowley and Levi had trouble deciphering The Hanged Man’s true meaning. Generally The Hanged Man is thought to represent the value of surrender and selfless acts. The Hanged Man embodies the notion that sometimes to lose is to win. Unlike the aggressive Chariot, The Hanged Man creates his fate through inaction and accepts his fortune passively, without resistance. He does not struggle to control the path his life takes, but rather allows events to sweep him where they will, even if he is called upon to sacrifice himself. He is so at ease with the Fate the Universe chose for him that even hanging upside down from a tree does not ruffle his inner peace.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow……

Your Horoscopes for Thursday, Feb. 21st

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

There is a really playful feel to your chart, which could see you saying things you don’t mean just to get a reaction out of people. Try also to listen to the problems of someone you know has just gone through a major change. Ring now to hear what your future holds.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

In order to have a certain person in your life, it would seem that you also have to have people you don’t like in it, who are attached by association. This is not a bad thing though, as it shows how tolerant you can be when you make up your mind to be so. Ring to hear more. 

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

I know you feel let down by what a loved one did or did not know, but your chart tells me that others had no alternative than to do what they could, with what was before them. The home faces a major outlay, but one which is not necessary for you to pay all of. Ring for clarity.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Education is well starred and if there is something you wanted to learn, then this is the time you will find the best courses and teachers. Something you are offered for free is not a trick, but a good will gesture. Ring now to hear whose innocence can show you the way out of a current problem.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

It seems that in order to get the job done, you are going to have to agree to do things someone else’s way. This is not a bad thing as it can also put you in touch with contacts who can help you achieve a healthier bank balance. Ring now to hear which sign is talking babies soon.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

You know it’s the job that’s never started, which is the hardest to finish. You have allowed yourself to be taken away from what was and should still be your priority. A lack of energy can be improved, by eating and not snacking for your sign. Ring now for your future to be revealed.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

Happy times link to you not saying what you think is the right thing to say, but the honest words which I know are on the tip of your tongue. They will set you free my friend. Large building you visit, hold the key to a contract you will sign. Ring now for the finer details.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Why are you in such a rush when what is occurring now, is actually something to be savoured and enjoyed? A past mistake is on your mind for all the wrong reasons, but actually has very little in common with what is occurring now. Ring me for a strange love prediction.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Fun times link to you finally doing what you want. You have spent so long trying to live life to suit others, but you now realise, this is not fair on you. Time spent going over paperwork, can see you with extra money this month. Ring now for an unusual love prediction.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Family demand a lot from you, but that seems to be because quite a few of your close ones are beginning new lives and need you on the side-lines to cheer them on. Don’t get in debt for an idea which is only half baked. Ring now to hear which career you were made for.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

If your mind can conceive it, and your heart can believe it, then I know you can achieve it. I can see that you and a loved one have drifted apart, but from today you both take steps to rectify this. Ring now to hear why you have to be polite in all phone calls this week.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Something you had given up on being a success, is given a helping hand by someone who believes in you more than you do yourself lately. Run with this support and try to do things which signify that there can be no going back. Ring now to reveal how great life can be.

Born on Wednesday, February 20, Happy Birthday, Pisces!

Flower Lovers

Happy Birthday Pisces!

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS FEBRUARY 20, you are unpretentious. If you are wondering what zodiac sign is February 20, then, of course, it is Pisces. Your gentle and affectionate nature makes you a kind person. You are good looking and soft-spoken as well. You are a beautiful person inside out.

Pisces born on February 20, you have this way of making anyone feel good about themselves. You are the perfect mate. You are romantic and very friendly. Taking into account of your positive qualities, Pisces, you are almost too good to be true. People are attracted to you because of this and more.

You, with birthday February 20, are dreamers. You love being in this private adventure. Traveling is a great way to act out your stories. You are more spontaneous than most and prefer to have your traveling companions take care of the agendas. It is okay; relax and have some fun!

If today is your birthday, you come across as having a calm and collected manner, but really, you can be impetuous. You need this to keep you motivated as it stirs your creative flow. As a part of your imagination, you can turn a pallet into a functional and beautiful piece of furniture.

For you who are born on February 20, you are outspoken when it comes to intimate involvements. You will ask for what you want. Pisces zodiac sign people are extremely romantic or idealistic when it comes to courting his or her mate.

According to the February 20 birthday meaning, your sensitive nature only adds to your charm. You are blessed to have an intuitive quality that allows you to bring to fruition your fantasies. Nothing makes you happier than this.

However, there is another side to this Pisces. Those with 20th February birthday can be needy and jealous. You do not like feeling this way, but it is what it is. You cannot hide in the bathroom forever so come on out and face the consequences. It is nothing that you cannot handle. Let us work on your insecurities through a better understanding of your partner’s needs and yours.

As per the Pisces birthday horoscope for this date, you are artistic and could be gifted in many areas relating to creative arts. Perhaps you are a gifted cartoonist or painter, maybe a guitarist or violin player. Your strengths can be seen in your keen ability to remember things. Your photographic memory only adds to the long list of positive qualities you possess.

The February 20 birthday astrology shows you are high spirited, Pisces. You are always on the go. It may seem as though you spend too much money doing “this, that and the other,” but you are thrifty and budget your money to get the most out of your dollar. When it comes down to it, making money is no comparison to living your life. I mean, really living your life. However, without you, how can you live?

It will take money to make the dreams of a February 20 Pisces come true. It does not drop out of the sky, so somebody has to make it. That would be you, Pisces. Well, you may meet someone special and perhaps “merge” your resources for combined wealth and power. It is possible that you will inherit a lump sum. Either way, those born on this day will have financial success.

Although you are pretty right when it comes to attending to your health needs, you take comfort in foods that are not so good for you. They make you feel good when you need a lift but you know too much is not beneficial.

You are the real McCoy. There is no pretending when it comes to the February 20 birthday Piscean. You are a dreamer but can bring those dreams into a reality. You tend not to fuss over financial matters but rather will probably marry into money. Take care of your body and avoid sweets or foods that are high in fat.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Family make it hard for you to keep anything private, with their questions being above and beyond the call of duty. I know you’re nervous about what’s coming up, but if you believe it can be a success, then others will too. Ring now to hear why you’d be wise NOT to lend money tonight.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, February 20

COSMIC CALENDAR

  • FEBRUARY 20, 2019

Look before you leap is a sensible proverb to consider on this first day after the full moon. Drop old worries like hot potatoes as the lunar orb in meticulous Virgo makes potentially confusion-generating oppositions to Neptune (7:24 a.m.) and Mercury (11:12 a.m.)—both of which are in Pisces.

While the moon then provides some solace by forming harmonious trines to Saturn (9:33 a.m.), Venus (1:46 p.m.), and Pluto (5:53 p.m.) in Capricorn, psychic storm warnings are posted due to the sun making a contraparallel with Uranus (11:51 a.m.) and moving on to form an abrasive, 45-degree tie to Saturn (2:56 p.m.) while Pallas and Uranus repeat their opposition (7:39 p.m.) from February 7.

Avoid mental fatigue and making foolish mistakes. Stock up on cereals, grains, veggies, fruit, tea, nuts, seeds, and seasonings with the moon continuing its transit through the sixth sign of the zodiac. Be aware that a 12 hour void lunar uncertainty cycle starts at 5:53 p.m. and lasts until Libra moon begins at 6:18 a.m. tomorrow.
