Life isn’t easy…

"Ya Allah, selamatkanlah umat Islam yg sedang sengsara di Palestin,
Lebanon,Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya serta diseluruh pelosok dunia
akibat dari angkara mungkar dan kekejaman musuh musuh Mu.
Peliharakanlah mereka, lindungilah mereka, kasihanilah mereka dan
berikanlah rahmatMu ke atas mereka"

Amin, ya Rabbal A’lamin.

PLUTO DECLARED A DWARF PLANET: Today at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) General 
Assembly in Prague, astronomers approved a new definition of planet. In plain language, to be a planet, a world must meet three criteria:
                     

(1) It must have enough mass and gravity to gather itself into a ball.

(2) It must orbit the sun.
                     
(3) It must reign supreme in its own orbit, having "cleared 
the neighborhood" of other competing bodies.
                     

Worlds 
that meet only the first two criteria are henceforth named "dwarf planets." So, e.g., mighty Jupiter, which circles the sun supreme in its own orbit, is a planet–no
    adjective required, while Pluto, which shares the outer solar system with thousands of Pluto-like objects, is a dwarf planet.
                     

According 
to the IAU, the Solar System now consists of eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune; and at least three dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, 2003 UB313.
                     

METEOR SHOWER:  Earth is about to pass through a stream of dust from Halley's Comet, and this will produce the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower. The shower peaks on Saturday, May 6th, with 10 meteors per hour in the northern hemisphere and as many as 60 meteors per hour in the southern hemisphere.  The best time to look is during the hours immediately before sunrise on Saturday morning.

PHOTO OP:  On May 7th, the biggest fragment of dying comet 73P/Schwassmann Wachmann 3 will glide by the Ring Nebula in Lyra.  The view through backyard telescopes should be wonderful. This is an opportunity for astrophotographers to take some rare photos of a comet and a planetary nebula side by side.

"….to all star observer out there….jom2 tgk ape yg menarik utk di observe spjg bulan Jan+Feb 2006 nih…"

New for 2006, covering January, February

Observing the Moon in 2006

January:
Moon at perigee, on Jan 2nd: its closest to the
Earth for the Lunar month at 361752 km; again on January 31st, its
closest to the Earth for the Lunar month at 357778 km. The Moon parks
in Saturn’s backyard on January 14th.

February:
   
The thin crescent moon sets on the 28th serenading Mercury just above it to the right.

March:
         
There will be a penumbral Lunar Eclipse on March 14th.

April:
The crescent Moon plays Big Sister to the Pleiades on April 1st and to Saturn on the 16th.

Observing the Planets in 2006:

The Earth is at perihelion at 10 a.m EST - its nearest approach to the
Sun this year at 91,405,953 miles away. Latest sunrise of the year:
7:27 EST.

Visibility of Planets in Morning and Evening Twilight, 2006

Mercury:
JANUARY:    Mercury at superior conjunction at the far side of the Sun.
FEBRUARY: Observe Elusive Mercury from the 10th to the 23rd. Look for a
small, bright white "star" near the western horizon after sunset.
MARCH and APRIL: Too close to the sun.

Venus:
JANUARY:
Venus is at inferior conjunction on the 13th and transitions to
"Morning Star" around the 19th just before dawn. As a beautiful
crescent she can be located below Deneb in Cygus and Altair in Aquila.
At the end of the month Venus is joined by Jupiter in the early dawn.
FEBRUARY through AUGUST:
Venus is at peak brightness mid-month and will grace the morning until
August when solar glare will obscure it from view until the end of the
year.

Mars:
JANUARY: Mars appears brightest on New Year’s Day,
standing boldly in the constellation Aries. Only Sirius and Canopus are
brighter in the sky, Mars is growing fainter each night.
FEBRUARY:   On the 17th Mars plays with The Pleiades.
MARCH:        The Moon and Mars delight us on the 5th.

Jupiter:
JANUARY through APRIL: Observe Jupiter late at night through early a.m
in the constellation Libra. April 25th, look for Jupiter as the
brightest object in the southeastern sky around 10 pm EST.

Saturn:
JANUARY through MID JULY:
An excellent time to view Saturn as it is a late-night/early morning
item. Saturn tends bees near the Beehive Cluster (M44) and the Moon on
January 14th and is at opposition on January 27th rising as the sun
sets at a distance of a mere 765 million miles from the Blue Planet.
MID MARCH to EARLY MAY: Saturn shows itself with tipped rings at a 20
degree angle. This will reoccur in 2014. See it now, in case you’re
busy in 2014.

Uranus and Neptune:
URANUS can be spied with the unaided eye
under a clear, dark sky, however, I personally have never been able to
see it without visual aides. URANUS is magnitude +5.7 located in
Aquarius at opposition Sept. 5.
NEPTUNE: An 8th magnitude object residing in 2006 in Capricornus at
opposition August 11.
Few are aware of the short history of Neptune’s Great Blue Spot.

Pluto:
Located in the constellation Serpens Pluto is a magnitude 14 object,
about 900 times fainter than the faintest star visible to the unaided
eye. Pluto is at opposition June 16.

..tgh bace utusan malaysia online…which suddenly this topic captured my eyes…sbg penggemar teh tarik, nampaknye aku pun kene elakkan ni…

Teh tarik antara punca golongan muda Malaysia diserang strok

KUALA LUMPUR 2 Jan. - Selain membawa pelbagai harapan, tahun 2006
membawa khabar menggerunkan kepada rakyat Malaysia iaitu semakin ramai
golongan muda di negara ini terdedah kepada serangan strok antaranya
akibat kegemaran meminum teh tarik.

Pakar fisioterapi, Dr. Balwant Singh Bains yang pernah merawat
beberapa orang kenamaan termasuk anggota keluarga diraja dari Asia
Barat akibat strok, berkata, selain teh tarik, minat rakyat Malaysia
terhadap makanan berasas daging juga mendedahkan mereka kepada penyakit
berbahaya itu.

“Jika kita tidak ubah cara hidup terutama budaya teh tarik,
serangan strok di kalangan generasi akan datang pasti amat tinggi,”
katanya kepada Bernama.

Sambil melahirkan kebimbangannya mengenai kegilaan rakyat negara ini
terhadap teh tarik yang kandungan utamanya susu isian pekat, Dr. Bains
berkata: “Kencing manis dan tekanan darah tinggi adalah pembunuh
terbesar di negara ini.

“Seseorang yang menghidapi kencing manis dan tekanan darah tinggi
adalah ibarat bom jangka dan banyak bom jangka sedang bergerak di
Malaysia yang akan meletup pada bila-bila masa.”

“Rakyat Thailand dan Indonesia lebih gemar meminum kopi tanpa
dibancuh dengan susu isian pekat tetapi rakyat Malaysia adalah pengguna
terbesar susu isian pekat di dunia. Oleh kerana itu, jumlah kes kencing
manis di negara ini agak tinggi,” katanya. - Bernama

"Behind These Hazel Eyes"-Kelly Clarkson

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin’ could go wrong
Now I can’t breathe
No, I can’t sleep
I’m barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that’s left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
‘Cause I can’t breathe
No, I can’t sleep
I’m barely hangin’ on

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don’t cry on the outside
Anymore…

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Assalamualaikum semua…salam ramadhan diucapkan..semoga ramadhan kali nih lebih bermakna kepada semua…:D
