Seeing a dazzling planetary alignment of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter & Luna early this morning. It was a spectacular display indeed! I went back to bed shortly after taking a few pics. I gotta get up again for work in a few hours... Pics taken from around San Jose, CA. (Tuesday early morning, April 14, 2020)
*Some more astronomy news:
The predawn hours this week was to sparkle as Jupiter, Saturn and Mars dance around the moon on consecutive mornings. On Tuesday morning (April 14), the moon was to be moving toward Jupiter. Then, on Wednesday (April 15), the moon would meet up with the ringed wonder of our planetary system, Saturn. And finally, on Thursday (April 16), it was to be the turn of the red planet, Mars, to have a summit meeting with Luna. Of course, such alignments are all just a matter of perspective. Our moon was about 243,000 miles away from us during these encounters, while Mars stands at 125 million mi, Jupiter at 473 million mi & Saturn at 936 million mi! During this time, Jupiter & Saturn were separated by 5.5 degrees in our sky, but in the coming months, this situation was going to change dramatically. At roughly 20-year intervals, Jupiter & Saturn engage in a conjunction, coming quite close to each other in our sky, after Jupiter's faster motion around the sun allows it to overtake Saturn… The last time this happened was in May 2000. Later this year, it was to happen again. Usually, when Jupiter & Saturn "meet," they approach to within a degree or two of each other in our skies. But what will happen in December was to be nothing short of extraordinary. On December 21, Jupiter & Saturn will come to within just 0.1 degree of each other (perspective-wise)! That's just one-fifth the apparent diameter of the moon. It will be by far the closest that these 2 planets have appeared relative to each other since the year 1623 and so close together that if you use a telescope and a high-power eyepiece, you will be able to fit both planets in the same field of view!

Part of Rock Creek National Park
Washington, D.C.
Listed: 10/23/1991
Rock Creek Park Historic District encompasses public reservation 339 created for the scenic and recreational enjoyment of the people of the United States on September 27, 1890. Rock Creek Park is a natural reserve within a heavily urbanized area and in this respect it is unusual. Unlike other great American urban parks designed in the 19th century, such as Central Park in New York City (1856), Golden Gate Park in San Francisco (1870), or the Boston Metropolitan Park System (1878-1895), Rock Creek Park was created by the forces of nature.
This historic district is architecturally and historically significant under National Register criteria A, B, and C. The period of significance for the district spans the years 1791 to 1941. The first date was chosen on the basis of historical associations with Andrew Ellicott's survey of the District of Columbia boundary. Rock Creek Park is the last major parcel of natural landscape in the District of Columbia and represents a symbolic reference to the historic Ellicott survey. The only other tangible cultural resource to recall this event are the District of Columbia boundary markers. Northwest Mile Marker No. 9 lies adjacent to the northwest corner of the park. It is known that the survey team worked in the park because the D. C. line also formed the northwest boundary line for Reservation 339 set aside as Rock Creek Park in 1890. The latter year for the period of significance correlates to the end of the Depression era improvements in Rock Creek Park. Under National Register criteria, the historic district has architectural and historical qualities and associations related to nine areas of significance: Architecture, Community Planning and Development, Conservation, Engineering, Entertainment/Recreation, Industry, Landscape Architecture, Military, and Other (Horticulture).

The Palais Welsersheim is a Baroque Graz city palace at the corner of Hans-Sachs alley and at the Iron Gate in the district of Inner City. Today in the premises, inter alia, the bookstore Moser is housed.
History
The paymaster count Sigmund von Stubenberg gave the order to build the palace which was built according to plans by Joachim Carlone 1689-1694. The property, along which led the former city wall, was left to him by the Styrian estates. After the death of count Wolfgang von Stubenberg the palace was bought by count Josef von Welsersheimb, giving the building his name. The house, which was partly rented, remained until 1956 in the possession of the descendants of count Welsersheimb. After the demolition of the Graz city fortification the family bought the neighboring Landschaftsbastei (bastion - Landstände: The "Landstände/Landschaft" were the political representatives of the estates of the realm in the German Empire in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, as opposed to their respective territorial lords (the "Landesherrn")) and had built a terrace garden. To 1812 lived Louis Bonaparte, a brother of Napoleon, at the Palais Welsersheimb. In 1861 the building was enlarged and created a carriage house with the associated stables.
The tenants of the Palais were from 1911 the Bohemian Union Bank, between 1924 and 1957 the restaurant Reif. After the partial destruction of the east wing by bombs during World War II, bought the shoe factory Humanic 1956 the Palais, but sold it only three years later to the Austrian Länderbank. Under this ownership began the restoration of the affected by the disaster east wing. Since the spring of 2005, the majority of the palace is used by the bookstore Moser.
Architecture and design
The Palais Welsersheimb is a four-storey building with a U-shaped floor plan. The façade design of the representative palace building was under the influence of Andrea Palladio and Vincenzo Scamozzi. The large portal was built by master stonemason Bernhard Leykhauff and stems from the construction of the palace. Interesting are in addition to the facade stucco the frescoes in the vestibules with various scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses and the staircase to the left near the gate with its Tuscan, Ionic and Corinthian columns and balustrades.
Das Palais Welsersheimb ist ein barockes Grazer Stadtpalais an der Ecke Hans-Sachs-Gasse und Am Eisernen Tor im Bezirk Innere Stadt. Heute ist in den Räumlichkeiten unter anderem die Buchhandlung Moser untergebracht.
Gschichte
Der Kriegszahlmeister Graf Sigmund von Stubenberg gab den Auftrag zum Bau des Palais, das nach den Plänen von Joachim Carlone von 1689 bis 1694 errichtet wurde. Das Grundstück, an dem die ehemalige Stadtmauer entlangführte, wurde ihm von den steirischen Ständen überlassen. Nach dem Tod des Grafen Wolfgang von Stubenberg wurde das Palais von Graf Josef von Welserheimb gekauft, der dem Gebäude seinen Namen verlieh. Das Haus, von dem Teile vermietet wurden, blieb bis 1956 im Besitz der Nachkommen des Grafen Welsersheimb. Nach dem Abbruch der Grazer Stadtbefestigung kaufte die Familie die angrenzende Landschaftsbastei und ließ einen Terrassengarten errichten. Um 1812 wohnte Louis Bonaparte, ein Bruder Napoleons, im Palais Welsersheimb. Im Jahr 1861 wurde das Gebäude vergrößert und eine Wagenremise mit den dazugehörigen Stallungen angelegt.
Die Mieter des Palais waren ab 1911 die Böhmische Unionsbank, von 1924 bis 1957 das Restaurant Reif. Nach der teilweisen Zerstörung des Ostflügels durch Fliegerbomben im Zweiten Weltkrieg, kaufte die Schuhfabrik Humanic 1956 das Palais, verkaufte es aber nur drei Jahre später an die Österreichische Länderbank weiter. Unter diesem Eigentümer begann die Restaurierung des in Mitleidenschaft gezogenen Ostflügels. Seit dem Frühjahr 2005 wird der Großteil des Palais von der Buchhandlung Moser benutzt.
Architektur und Gestaltung
Das Palais Welsersheimb ist ein viergeschossiger Bau mit U-förmigem Grundriss. Die Fassadengestaltung des repräsentativen Palastbaus stand unter dem Einfluss Andrea Palladios und Vincenzo Scamozzis. Das große Portal wurde vom Steinmetzmeister Bernhard Leykhauff errichtet und stammt aus der Bauzeit des Palais. Sehenswert sind neben dem Fassadenstuck die Fresken in den Vorsälen mit diversen Darstellungen aus Ovids Metamorphosen und das Stiegenhaus links neben der Toreinfahrt mit seinen toskanischen, ionischen und korinthischen Pfeilern und Balustraden.

One of my favorite things to do on a cruise ship is to get up early and capture the sunrise from the ship. These were taken on Thursday August 2nd, our last full day on the ship and day at sea as we were heading back to New York City. Like our other day at sea, there was a great deal of fog out there on this damp morning. On board the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas at the start of our week-long cruise to New England and Canada (July 27th - August 3rd, 2018). The cruise departed from the Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, New Jersey and stopped at Portland (Maine), Bar Harbor (Maine), Saint John (New Brunswick) and Halifax (Nova Scotia).

Their two caretakers live in the house they purchased in 2008. The property has great character, with a front yard that is a lush garden of cacti, flowering plants, and tropical trees. It’s a cat paradise. The three kitties typically romp around back, but when my wife and I met them today they frolicked on a more supervised, front-yard outing.

The history of the village of Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island is linked to a past of exile and isolation. Puerto Villamil was previously a United States military outpost, as support for the base on the island of Baltra during the Second World War. In 1946, the Ecuadorian government regained control of the facilities and set up a prison for for the confinement of dangerous inmates.
The penal colony kept the prisoners working on constructing a wall with blocks of volcanic lava. The great wall collapsed repeatedly and the prisoners were forced to build it again and again. This work resulted in suffering and sometimes death for the convicts, leading the locals to call it "the place where the weak died and the strong cried." The prison closed in 1959 and is now a tourist attraction.
Journey of Hope is an organization led by murder victim family members joined by death row family members, family members of the executed, the exonerated, and others with stories to tell, that conducts public education speaking tours and addresses alternatives to the death penalty.
Kentucky's Journey of Hope will feature founder Bill Pelke, who, until his grandmother's murder, supported the death penalty. The retired steelworker experienced a spiritual transformation in 1986 and worked to save his grandmother's assailant from execution. Joining Pelke will be Shujaa Graham, who was exonerated from death row after being framed for the 1973 murder of a prison guard in Stockton, CA and Terri Steinberg who is the mother of Justin Wolfe, Virginia's youngest death row resident.
