Today the First Commercial Flight to the Moon left from USA
First US Commercial Moon Launch: Astrobotic Peregrine Mission 1 (Official NASA Broadcast)
Nature is essential for our survival and is one of our greatest allies against climate change and pandemics, but it is under threat. Join us for #EarthHour on 27 March at 8:30pm local time to switch off and speak up for nature. Visit www.earthhour.org/ to find out more.
In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to work together and support each other. We must stand in solidarity to safeguard the health of our planet - our one shared home, and in turn our own health and well-being. Let’s come together to #Connect2Earth and protect nature for the future of people and the planet.
Es ist wieder Earth Hour. Jedes Jahr machen dabei viele Menschen weltweit am gleichen Tag um halb neun Ortszeit für eine Stunde das Licht aus. Es ist die größte Klima-Protest-Aktion der Welt. Die erste Earth Hour in Deutschland hat 2007 stattgefunden. Der WWF sagt, mittlerweile machen ordentlich Leute mit: 373 Städte in ganz Deutschland, viele Unternehmen und viele Geschäfte sollen letztes Jahr dabei gewesen sein. Weltweit machen Millionen Menschen und ganze Städte das Licht aus. Wir von PlanetB haben uns gefragt: Ist das nur ne nette Aktion mit nem Winz-Effekt oder spart man damit auch richtig viel Strom? Und was bringt die Earth Hour sonst für den Klimaschutz? Die Antwort und was das alles mit Australien zu tun hat – das seht ihr in diesem Video!
WAS BRINGT DIE EARTH HOUR 2021 IN CO2-SPAR-ZAHLEN?
Die erste Earth Hour in Deutschland hat 2007 stattgefunden und war gerade mal 5 Minuten lang. Dafür gab’s mächtig Kritik. Der Vorwurf: Das bringt überhaupt nix für den Klimaschutz. Wir haben mal genauer hingeguckt: Wenn die Hälfte aller Haushalte in Deutschland für 5 Minuten das Licht ausschaltet, dann spart das 343 Tonnen CO2. Das ist ungefähr so viel wie das, was 33 Leute im Jahr in die Luft pusten - Wenn denn wirklich die Hälfte aller deutschen Haushalte mitmacht. Für die letzten Jahre gibt es keine Daten, also haben wir das mal grob überschlagen. Wenn jede zweite Person auf der Welt drei Lampen ausknipst, , dann sparen wir alle zusammen immer noch nicht besonders viel. In Sachen Strom sparen ist die Aktion eine sehr kleine Nummer.
WAS BRINGT DIESE AKTION DANN?
Menschen aus ganz vielen verschiedenen Ländern auf der Welt machen mit. Und das Thema Klimaschutz bekommt Aufmerksamkeit. Das ist ja an sich schon mal ne gute Sache. Und das ist auch mal ein Ding, bei dem Corona einem nicht in die Parade fährt: Kann man entspannt von zu Hause aus machen und die Kontaktbeschränkungen versauen’s nicht. Die Aktion hat auch ne coole Geschichte. Die allererste Earth Hour gab es am 31. März 2007 in Sydney. Das war so: Die australische Regierung hatte sich geweigert, das Kyoto-Protokoll zu unterzeichnen. Umweltaktivist*innen vom WWF Australien wollten das so nicht hinnehmen – und haben die Aktion gestartet: Für eine Stunde Licht aus in Sydney. 2020 waren dann schon 190 Länder dabei, sagen die Organisatoren. Rekord! Und das ist auch das Ziel der ganzen Aktion: Es ist PR für den Klimaschutz. Und manchmal stößt so eine Botschaft dann auch konkrete Dinge an, z.B auf den Galapagos Inseln: Da wurden nach der Aktion im Jahr 2014 Plastiktüten und Einwegverpackungen verboten.
Wie isses bei euch? Macht Ihr mit bei der Earth Hour 2021? Und was haltet ihr von der Aktion? Schreibt’s mir in die Kommentare!

Introduction on Exoplanets
Exoplanets, or extrasolar planets, are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. Since the confirmation of the first exoplanets in the early 1990s, the search for these distant worlds has become a key focus in the field of astronomy. To date, thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, varying immensely in size, composition, and orbit. They range from gas giants many times the size of Jupiter to small, rocky planets that may be akin to Earth.
These discoveries have been made using a variety of methods, including the transit method, where a planet's passage in front of its star causes a slight dimming detectable by telescopes, and the radial velocity method, which measures the star’s wobble due to the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet. These techniques have unveiled a rich tapestry of planetary systems vastly different from our own.
The nearest exoplanets are found in the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, the closest known star to the Sun, approximately 4.24 light-years away. If humanity could develop a spacecraft capable of reaching 25% of the speed of light, a journey to Proxima Centauri would theoretically take about 17 years. Such a voyage would represent an unprecedented technological challenge, involving extreme durations and distances far beyond our current capabilities. Yet, as we face global environmental crises such as climate change and rising sea levels, the interest in potentially habitable exoplanets as a 'Plan B' continues to grow.
Traveling to the nearest exoplanet, Proxima Centauri, at a speed similar to that of the Space Shuttle (about 28,000 kilometers per hour) would take approximately 163,429 years. This highlights the immense distance to even the nearest stars outside our solar system and illustrates the significant challenges associated with interstellar travel using today's technology.
The nearest known exoplanet is Proxima Centauri b, which orbits the star Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system and is part of the larger star system known as Alpha Centauri, which also includes the brighter stars Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B.
Proxima Centauri b
Distance from Earth: About 4.24 light years.
Discovery: Proxima Centauri b was discovered in 2016 using the radial velocity method, which measures small changes in the star's speed caused by the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.
Location in the Sky
Proxima Centauri is part of the constellation Centaurus, which is visible from the Southern Hemisphere. It is not visible from most Northern latitudes. The constellation Centaurus is far from the North Star, which is part of the constellation Ursa Minor, and therefore it is not directly related to or close to known Northern constellations.
To locate Proxima Centauri in the sky from the Southern Hemisphere:
Identify Alpha Centauri: This is one of the brightest stars in the Southern sky and serves as a guide to Proxima Centauri.
Use a telescope: Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf and is very faint, so it is not visible to the naked eye. With a telescope, it can be found near Alpha Centauri.
Poem
In the cosmos' wide embrace,
We spin, a lonely, pale blue face,
Yet out there, in the vast night sky,
Worlds beyond our sun do lie.
Whispered secrets of distant suns,
Of planets where no foot has run,
Across the stellar sea, we yearn,
For exoplanets, our hearts turn.
To Proxima’s gentle glow,
To lands where alien breezes blow,
Our dreams take flight on astral wings,
To where the starlight softly sings.
Haikus
Distant worlds circle,
Stars whispering in deep space,
Secrets held in light.
Exoplanet dreams,
Voyages across the stars,
New homes in the void.

Sorry... we just can't stop taking pictures of this beautiful girl :-)
In a few days she will be ready for surgery, and then she will have to start her recovery process.
In the past month we paid a lot of money for surgeries on dogs who were hit by cars... Valentina, Kobe, Bow-wow and coming up - Tosca.
1,000 of you already signed up for the Planet Blue competition, and because they offered $1 donation for every participant, that adds up to $1,000.
We REALLY need to get 1,000 more friends to sign up so we'll make it to the $2,000 mark that would cover this surgery and other medical costs.
Please CLICK HERE, enter your email (top right), share, and help us make it happen.
Remember, the more people who will share the link through YOU, the greater your chance of winning one of the 151 prizes.
Thank you so much :-)

Claire, Linda and I visited Tosca yesterday (the 118 FWY dog). As you can see, mentally she is doing great, but what you can't see is that physically, she is not there yet.
In a few days, once she gain a few more pounds, she will have to go to surgery.
Planet Blue offered to donate $2,000 that would pay for this surgery + everything else Tosca would need if we can get 1,000 people to sign up for their competition (where YOU could win one of the 151 prizes).
All you have to do is: CLICK HERE, enter your email (top right), and once you get the confirmation page, click to SHARE (at the bottom). Every person gets a unique link, so every time the link is RE-SHARED, you'll get another entry in your favor.
1,000 of you already entered, and we need 1,000 more by Friday to get this $2,000 donation.
Please help us make it happen.
Thanks :-)

Photo from the Climate Strike and march in Pittsburgh on 9/24/21. Information from the event on Facebook: The world is in a state of emergency. Across the globe the climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our communities, destroying our homes and livelihoods, and leaving death and destruction in its wake. The message is clear: our extractive system has resulted in the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and now we must rise to combat this monster of our own making for all of our futures. We cannot let politics or corporatism convince us that there is no way to stop it, because there is: a just transition from fossil fuels to a regenerative economy.
We know this can't be done in a day, but the fight has begun and now we must act strongly to show those in power that we are united and will not back down. That is why we are calling on you, citizens, organizations, and communities, to join us in this fight. To be truly united for a future that reflects justice for all.
Our Demands:
Represent Youth in Local Climate Decisions. Pittsburgh politics has failed to be truly representative of all its communities, especially its youth. We want diverse representation at the table and an actual part in the decision making process- we are not pawns for press points
Ban Fracking! In addition to exacerbating climate change, fracking harms our communities and destroys our county's beautiful wild spaces. That is why we demand Allegheny County ban all new fracked gas wells and move towards closing all remaining wells, while ensuring the protection and new employment of their workers.
Tax Big Business for Green Infrastructure. Big Businesses like UPMC and fossil fuel companies must be taxed to help fund new Green Infrastructure programs; these programs will get us to the 100% renewable energy threshold mandated by the latest IPCC report
Stop Line 3! We are demanding that the US Federal Government halt ongoing construction of Line 3, an oil pipeline being constructed in Minnesota which will not only potentially leak harmful chemicals into the environment, but contributes to fossil fuel infrastructure and the ongoing environmental racism and treaty violations against Native Americans particularly the Anishinaabe. More info: stopline3.org
Just Transition and Clean Jobs for All. We are demanding a Just Transition to 100% renewable energy and a regenerative economy by 2050 and a crucial part of that will be ensuring that all people have clean, green, healthy jobs that pay a living wage.
Fight for Intersectional Climate Justice. As a movement, as communities, and individuals, we must acknowledge the intersectional nature of our struggles and work together towards the goal of a safe, healthy, and regenerative future. We need to put aside the idea that our movements are separate, and address issues of race, class, gender, identity, policing and government in tandem with our environment.
Who We Are
This strike has been organized with, endorsed by, and supported by an amazing network of powerful local organizations all of whom we'd like to recognize for their contributions and efforts!
Sunrise Pittsburgh, Socialist Alternative, Green New Deal for Pittsburgh, Ohio Valley Environmental Resistance, the Izaak Walton League of Allegheny County, Putting Down Roots, 350 Pittsburgh, Clean Water Action, OnePennsylvania, Breathe Collaborative, Heartwood, Pittsburghers Against Single-Use Plastic, Green Party of Allegheny County, Palestinian Solidarity Committee, Asian Solidarity Alliance, Pitt Asian Student Association, Protect Penn Trafford, Casa San Jose, Women for a Healthy Environment, YOU, and more to come!
