And the moment was finally there. The gliding flight by the Draco and its wing like membranous structure called patagia was fully extended to achieve that flight.
Happy earth day !!
The road was lonely. It was scarily dark. The night was moonless and the sky was clear. But every feet further down was sending chills through our spines.
There was one house which had two candles lit on their boundary wall. There was one church which had no lights whatsoever and which made us decide to not go any further.
The villages to the east of Baindur score Class 2 on the Bortle scale. It means they can be typical truly dark site. It also means that the summer Milky way can appear highly structured.
But it is winter now. And we can only see the outer spiral of the Milky way. It is much fainter than the core but runs very close to Orion and hence can be located easily.
I want to come back to this place in April. The midnight should offer a spectacular view of the core. Till then, this is what I have.

In my previous post, I had mentioned that there was a surprise moment waiting for us in the evening. And yes, we were lucky enough to observe the same King cobra feasting on another India's big four venomous snake, the Spectacled Cobra.
We were well guided by the field director and the team to not disturb and create any uncomfortable situation for the King until he finishes his meal else it would result in regurgitation. That one hour of observation just made us revise all those concepts of food chain, survival of the fittest etc. A memorable experience it was and a great learning too !
2077 Warrior
The #futurewarrior is on a mission to find out more about her ancestor and the origin of their powers.It was a breezy day and the warrior from the year 2077 was looking around Hampi for any trace of her ancestors. She looked at the sculpture which had been carved out of stone but found no hints as to who they were. The only thing she knew about them is that they existed in this time period between two-thousand years ago and now, but these sculptures did not provide anything more than that. With a heavy heart, she walked away with nothing accomplished and yet never stopped looking for clues along her journey back home.
Accounts of martial women were included in the Ramayana (ca. 500 BCE) and Mahabharata (ca. 400 BCE) In Hindu mythology, Chitrāngadā, wife of Arjuna, was the commander of her father's armies. Satyabhama was a warrior wife of the god Krishna who led an army against Narakasura; she was an archer and expert in wartime tactics. Shikhandini was a princess who learned "archery, martial arts, war-techniques" and fought to avenge herself for past wrongs in another life; she eventually became a man (through supernatural intervention). Kaikeyi was the wife of a king who drove his chariot in battle and saved his life.
There is a sculpture in Bala Krishna Temple at Hampi, India - Woman with bow, an attendant removing a thorn from her foot. Early 16th century C.E.
The temple was destroyed by the Mughals after the invasion but the idol is still on display in the state museum at Chennai, TN.
