Re: New User!

:idea: Excuse me. Sometimes I`m so distracted that I forgot to say: Good Day everyone. I`m "New User" too (less than 20 posts) and from time to time I want to ask something and add some opinion. Maybe I`ll meet somebody who will explain me "this and that". Astronomy and all about...

Re: What did you see in the sky tonight?

I can`t to be jealous because some dark clouds accumulates over my house. Meteo heralds that some Viktor is going near my location (?); possible is whirlwind that I see nothing more than darkness. Second "cyclone" in seven days. Hard to believe.

Re: Weather!

The true is that people changes climate but the scale of human`s activity is hard to measure. Not only Micronesia vs. Czech Republic. I know these lands divided by atomic problem. Every atomic power station in Eastern Europe gives occasion to controversy. "Climate change will bring more extreme...
