Dec, 1st - The Next Bang

Ok, so there was a Big Bang when this blog appeared.. Then the universe cooled for a bit and messages stopped popping up (is that what they call the Big Freeze?). But like any Gamma Ray Burst (GRB), a message may "bang" into existence unexpectedly.. And so it happened!

December 1st, the first day of a long 4-month mission to acquire spectra of some targets, among which is WR 140.. Wolf-Rayet stars such as these are believed to be candidates for originating GRBs! The actual proof of that, is this very message, which outshone this entire blog put toghether after 27 months of conspicuous inactivity!

The next posts will naturally have to bring updates as to what I've been doing for the past 27 months aside from not writing blog messages.. They will also bring more details on this mission that will be part of: What makes it special to astronomers, to some amateurs, and specifically to me!

So like any sight of a GRB, keep tuned observing this one, to learn from the moments that follow it :)
