Quote of the day:
"The strongest affection and utmost zeal should, I think, promote the studies concerned with the most beautiful objects. This is the discipline that deals with the universe's divine revolutions, the stars' motions, sizes, distances, risings and settings . . . for what is more beautiful than heaven?"
Nicolaus Copernicus
(Feb 19, 1473 - May 24, 1543
Quote from his work, On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres, first published in 1543Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe, likely independently of Aristarchus of Samos, who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier.

Quote of the day:
"Ships and sails proper for the heavenly air should be fashioned. Then there will also be people, who do not shrink from the dreary vastness of space."

A point to ponder:
With the level of dissatisfaction currently on display in the United States, I decided that I would share this here:
If you want to see change in your life, then let the change begin with you.
If you want to see change in your family, then let it begin with you.
If you want to see a change in your community, school, or workplace, then let it begin with you.If you want to see changes in your nation, then let it begin with you.
If you want to see changes in the world, then let it begin with you.If you see something that needs to be done, then do it rather than demand it be done.
If you see someone who needs help, then be the hand that lifts instead of the hand that destroys.For if we do not do any of these things, then we are not the solution to the problem.
We are its cause.-adsii1970

Quote of the day:
“The least of us is improved by the things done by the best of us, because if we are not able to land at least we are able to follow."
Walter Cronkite
(Nov 04, 1916 - Jul 17, 2009)
Quote taken from CBS Moon Landing Coverage, July 20, 1969Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. was an American broadcast journalist, best known as anchorman for the CBS Evening News for 19 years. During the heyday of CBS News in the 1960s and 1970s, he was often cited as "the most trusted man in America" after being so named in an opinion poll. He reported many events from 1937 to 1981, including bombings in World War II; the Nuremberg trials; combat in the Vietnam War; the Dawson's Field hijackings; Watergate; the Iran Hostage Crisis; and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights pioneer Martin Luther King, Jr., and Beatles musician John Lennon. He was also known for his extensive coverage of the U.S. space program, from Project Mercury to the Moon landings to the Space Shuttle. He was the only non-NASA recipient of a Moon-rock award. Cronkite is well known for his departing catchphrase "And that's the way it is," followed by the broadcast's date. (Wikipedia Commons)
