There was a two hour outage this morning for hardware upgrades. Read more about it in Technical News.

October 19, 2004
SETI@home and BOINC are featured on Catalan TV news. See the Movie (RealVideo) or the English transcript.

Whats this?!?!? A 2 hour outage that lasted... 2 hours?!?!?! its a first, call guiness....

Just one gold star today as Tenant passed 2 years of CPU tyme... Good Job Kemosabi!!!

Patches once again dominated the Top Cruncher spot, trying to defeat both 2nd place SuperDwarf, and the unseen Jamz SeSSioN... and turning in 218 work units today is a sure fire way to do it.. I love it when people get challenged *L*

GiantSchnauzer took home the Top Mover award this morning, using 5 work units to scamper up 4 more spots on the team charts... WOOT thats what its all about.

And thats all she wrote.. see ya tomorrow..

Apogee Moon, Perigee Moon
Credit & Copyright: antónio cidadão

Explanation: Why don't these pieces fit? This third quarter Moon (left) and first quarter Moon were both photographed during the last lunar cycle or lunation with the same telescope and camera. But, simply combining the pictures into one sharp, full surface view would clearly be a problem. In fact, on October 6th the Moon's third quarter phase happened to occur near lunar apogee, the farthest point in the Moon's orbit. On September 21st, the first quarter phase fell close to lunar perigee, the Moon's closest approach to planet Earth. Viewed two weeks apart, the resulting difference in apparent sizes would not be noticed by casual skygazers, but the simultaneous side by side comparison makes it hard to ignore. Skygazers will likely notice the moon next week though, as it slides through Earth's shadow during October 27th's total lunar eclipse. Click on picture for more information
