51 years ago Yuri Gagarin completed an orbit of the Earth. So today is the Cosmonautics Day in Russia and some other former USSR countries… And by the way also here in Science is Beauty.
Cada cual a su manera, todos parecían felices. ¿Lo eran en realidad? En cualquier caso, aquel plácido mediodía de finales de septiembre, la gente se veía contenta y eso me hizo sentir aún más solo que de costumbre. Porque yo era el único que no pertenecía a ese cuadro.

Ultraviolet Image of Cygnus Loop Nebula
This view was captured by NASA’s GALEX mission, which launched in April 2003. Its main purpose was to image hundreds of thousands of galaxies, charting their rates of star formation – the science is best gathered in ultraviolet. Unfortunately, NASA cut off financial support for the mission back in February, 2011.
It’s really a shame that we invest so little into NASA. During the Apollo program, roughly 4% of the federal budget went to NASA, today it’s about .5%.
There is a petition going on whitehouse.gov requesting we double NASA’s budget from .5% to 1%. It’s not much, but it is a start.
Stick Boy liked Match Girl,
He liked her a lot.
He liked her cute figure,
he thought she was hot.
But could a flame ever burn
for a match and a stick?
It did quite literally;
he burned up quick.—Tim Burton

Dr. Seuss es bien chido. Es una lástima que casi no esté traducido al español.
