We are pretty preoccupied with climate change on this planet these days. This week the Climate Week is taking place in New York City, partly preparing for the big Copenhagen meeting in December where we hope to get the replacement of the Kyoto Agreement in place. (I said HOPE).

I always say I do not discriminate against any of the planets including planet Earth. NASA must have the same philosophy. Look at this awesome study of the changing climate of Mars all revealed by laser techniques. :-)

Me want! Because? It's personal! :-)

Splendid Saturn

Superb Saturn



Satan, Saturn is Splendid! (I'm sure I can find more words starting with the letter S...but I won't. :-)) JPL has made a delicate presentation - with music on top - of Saturn and surroundings.

China and Climate Change

China and Climate Change Challenges





The media will be packed with climate change articles and opinions as we get closer to the Copenhagen meeting in December. I'll be contributing to the discourse, too. This is one fresh article written about the ongoing work by among others the Stockholm Environment Institute.

I do believe China is capable of leap-frogging the western worlds polluting history. It is a question of international politics to make that actually happen...

Ganymede

The Biggest - Ganymede



Ganymede is the biggest moon in our solar system. And looking pretty good, too.

Buzz from Space

Buzz Returns from Space...




And Stellare returns from Istanbul. Same thing. Almost. Only inverse. :-)

Go Thermal!

Thermal Imaging





And seals are not the only species we can expose to thermal imaging - here are some thermal images of my family species taken at La Villette in Paris. :-)
