But perhaps when we were there, we only saw it at night, illuminated only by the torch lamp of the Pompej custodian. The night changes everything, large becomes small, small turns into gigantic, spiders become monsters, and commn things turn into weired animals.<br />Dont worry, my dear<br />Michaelradiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418500820960221635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-76579680635202562412014-01-05T17:01:45.462+01:002014-01-05T17:01:45.462+01:00hi michael, the amphitheater in the pink-floyd vid...hi michael, the amphitheater in the pink-floyd video looks so much bigger than in my memories of our visit to pompej.<br />take care<br />/ghazalGhazalhttp://www.die-bowe.de/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-68043897084679998262014-01-03T10:54:27.775+01:002014-01-03T10:54:27.775+01:00Hi Nargess, thanks a lot for the link.

I like the idea of the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to "... return to the moon, enabling new discoveries and bringing the moon back into the public eye."<br />For me as a very amateur sky-watcher, the moon is of course fascinating because one can see so many details and (moon phases, eclipses, structures on its surface). Sure, it does not provide us with energy, nor will it be a promising destination for a long-time colonization, but without its stabilising function on the earth' rotation life would perhaps never developed.<br />Yes, I have to admit, that currently Ghazal is a fictional character. Initially the blog was a real conversation, but after a year or so the dialogues became more and more asymmetrical. So currently I simply try to imagine what this other person would comment or say, and write it down under her alias.<br />best wishes, michaelradiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418500820960221635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-40071294500521659752014-01-03T10:37:54.685+01:002014-01-03T10:37:54.685+01:00Hi Andreas, I did not watche the movie (yet), only...Hi Andreas, I did not watche the movie (yet), only became interested in it after reading some reviews about "Iron Sky". There they wrote again and again about a Dark Side of the Moon, which I am sure the writer assume was the reason for the Nazis beeing so pale. The biggest publicity, I think film producers did by starting a crowdfunding campaign for the production of "Iron Sky". This quickly hit the headlines of NYT, Huffington Post, New Yorker and many other newspapers. Without this new concept of raising money for a film project, "Iron Sky" would not have attracted more public attention than other B-movies.<br />Best regards, Michaelradiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418500820960221635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-18815293371928150522014-01-01T20:04:27.283+01:002014-01-01T20:04:27.283+01:00Dear Michale, thanks for all the information.

It also highlights the importance of recent lunar missions, in particular LRO that gave us detailed imagery of the so called dark side of the moon for the first time:<br /><br />http://lro.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.html<br /><br />Also, I like to understand your writing style better. Are you writing posts as correspondences between you and another person (Ghazal?)Nargesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582908963047333015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536539524133495116.post-65948269782438495502013-12-30T22:47:07.638+01:002013-12-30T22:47:07.638+01:00This is too much publicity for such a bad movie.
