As I walk the dogs in the morning it is still night and the stars and planets are wonderful to view and enjoy. Thou it can be a bit brisk at times, but still worth it to see the wonders of the night sky. One thing to note and I will be looking is for Halley’s comet. It is not, that event won’t happen until 2061, but this week the celestial exhaust from the comet can be glimpsed during the Orionid meteor shower. Earth will move into the streams of particles left over from the massive comet since it has moved back into its orbital path. This week could have some of the best showers for all of 2022. That’s because the showers happen during the deeper dark of moonless night skies. The following is from interestingengineering.com and written by Stephen Vicinanza about the next several days of viewing of Halley's comet and the Orionid meteor shower:

Today, October 17, 2022: The final quarter moon in Gemini
Tonight, the natural satellite will reach its last quarter phase. In stargazing terms the Moon will rise after midnight, clearing the way for 10 consecutive nights of moonless skies. The moon will reach its rise a little after midnight and shine beneath to two brightest stars in Gemini, Castor (upper) and Pollux (lower).
Friday, October 21, 2022
From the small hours of Friday at 21:00 hours until the early morning hours of Saturday is the peak of the Orionid meteor shower. There is no need for binoculars or a telescope, but use them if you have them, it will be visible to the naked eye.
There are between 10 and 20 visible meteors streaking across the night sky as “shooting stars.” This number is a per-hour rate, and the moonless skies will be clear and conducive to gazing eyes.
There will be a waning crescent Moon, only 17% lit, and rise’s about 3:30 a.m. The view should be best after midnight.
The Orionid meteor shower is caused by the dust and debris left in our Solar System by the infamous Halley’s Comet. Although the meteors can appear from anywhere in the night sky, the radiant point for the showers is the constellation, Orion. This can be further reduced to the area around the red supergiant star Betelgeuse." Do not say that three times! ;)
"Saturday, October 22, 2022, Venus behind the Sun
Our sister planet, Venus was around for most of 2022 as a “Morning Star” but will pass around the back side of the Sun on Saturday. In the next few months Venus will emerge into the evening sky. It will brighten as it approaches closer to Earth. There is always an entirely predictable increase in UFO sightings (That is a fact, not a guess).
“Shooting Stars:” what to know
“Shooting stars are caused by particles that are smaller than a grain of sand hitting the Earth’s atmosphere. As they move into the atmosphere, they energize and glow for a millisecond as the energy is discharged as photons.
The key to viewing many “Shooting Stars” is to look into the night sky and continue to look for some time. There is no time for smartphone checking, as not only will you miss the “shooting stars,” the white light from the phone will kill your night vision.
Although meteors can appear anywhere in the night sky, you can look anywhere, the display during a shower will be best at the radiant point. The radiant point is the place where Earth atmosphere is colliding with the densest part of the meteor stream. When that point is highest in the sky, the greatest number of “Shooting Stars” are visible."
So get outside and see these wonders of the night sky! If you can get away from large cities and towns you can actually see the Milky Way itself that is a wonder if you have never seen it yet. The first time I saw the Milky Way was in the North Arizona Desert when my fathers car broke down on a lonely highway with very little traffic. It was amazing and you have to experience that once! Now we have Halley's comet and Meteor Showers as well it will be a wonderful show!
I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
