Happy Birthday, Mr. Tesla!

Can't believe I beat the Magic Laker-man to the punch on this.

Heard it on the radio this morning on the way into the office.

New movie in the works on the life and times of Mr. Tesla. David Bowie plays Tesla... yup, the spaceman himself, David Bowie!

Yeah I could see Bowie as Tesla.....he would look like him and we know he has always been lost in space

Speaking of space, I see our 2 normal planets in space to the east, but whats that 3rd one relatively close to Venus & Jupiter?

Whatever that star or planet is, is twinkling

Yeah that is a star

The other morning when I looked out before going to bed I took a couple pictures of those 2 planets shining above my pond.

I will show one here later.....bed time now.

Crav... you have a "smart-phone?" I have an iPhone and have an app called Night Sky. It works off GPS and determines your location, then overlays the constellation over your location. Shows stars, planets, constellations, even satellites! Fantastic app! I've been boring the wife and kids with my new-found "knowledge" of the stars... lol

Naaaah dont have those new fancy phones, but I'll see if the Kindle has that app.
