  Across the planet there are bright spots believed to be clouds of methane ice. “Nobody really knows what these things are,” said Patrick Irwin, a planetary physicist at Oxford University. “They seem to come and go, a bit like cirrus clouds on Earth.” https://t.co/ObPORBYFNq — Jack Vaughan (@JackIVaughan) September 27, 2022

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion ’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth. pic.twitter.com/7bXipPkjWD — NASA (@NASA) September 26, 2022 It will take at least a couple of days to tell if the Deflect Asteroid Redirect Test mission succeeded in changing the course of the cosmos.  Earth-borne telescopes will observe. Flashy Gordon is prepared to visit the space if called on.  

  Alphaville - Godard pic.twitter.com/9Ahom89TJK — Jack Vaughan (@JackIVaughan) September 25, 2022 The assisted passing of director  passing of Jean Luc Godard caused me to revisit his fantastic 1965 film, Alphaville . One of my favorites. A science fiction film that made a better shot at seeing the future than most. It's sometimes slapstick episodic collection of modern architecture, noir film riffs, and poetic dialog - some garnered from the work of Borges - is nowhere else surpassed. Godard considered calling the movie "Tarzan vs. IBM." The world in which I grew up was the future, funnily enough, in retrospect. Alphaville is a city that central figure Lemmy Caution goes to, perhaps to destroy. A technocrat leader has taken over there and human feeling is suppressed. Here is some dialog delivered voice-over in parts drolly in the style of Bogart's Maltese Falcon. Lemmy played by Eddie Constantine is in conversation with skidrower Henri (played by familiar Hollyw...

It proclaimed Benny Goodman as #1, though I beg to differ. Get back in line, Mr. Goodman. Sidney Bechet built that car, detailed that car, and drove that car before you ever polished your commendable licks. Goodman’s gr...

M y brother took me along to see Tom Jones at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston. Not exactly my kind of music – but Tom has been adding gospel and blues greats, as well as songs by Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan to his recordings in recent years, and it was actually a stone groove mostly. As a singer he still has it – he sings from his chest like an opera singer. He really engages the audience with his eyes, and they love him. His band was really an accomplished bunch – basically a rock band, they used accordion and synth to fill in where there might have been a horn or string section, The guitarists could play blues, twang, anything. The opera thing is real for Tom – he draws these little dramas. The centerpiece was “Delilah” which is like a Marty Robbins thing (actually it is also like Dylan’s One More Cup of Coffee. It is pretty corny (I think Mojo Nixon or Horton Heath did a raveup satire of Delilah) but it was great fun to sing along. It’s a murderous tale. Like Hey Joe. But ‘Not for Wor...

  This was a mog page but mog went away so here i have inserted YouTube links - WALLSTREET PART OF TOWN – Ry Cooder - Does Ry Cooder get revenge on Stones’ theft of Honkytonk womae here? Who knows? He shows what he can do with a rock riff that will kill. It is a tribute to the Wall Street Occupiers (seems like ancient history, but was just a mere year ago). From a concept album. But this is beyond concept.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMT1SQA7dBE -NORTH SIDE GAL – J.D. McPhersen – He is a reformed punk I hear tell. I dig the sound cause, well it brings back Little Richard. I understand they did this all analog. There truly is something about the sound, it is of the studio era of 1948 – 1960 –when the art was high. By the way, I am from the North Side, myself.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZGn4LncY0g - COME ON BACK JESUS – Willie Nelson. A take on the world gone mad. It’s getting real hairy....

Moon Traveller is honored to host the archival list of old buddy Jim Haas's Mexican Radio Show. Blues – urban and rural (USA) Broadcast Sept 8, 2022 When in doubt, you can always go back to the blues. A music programmer’s lush paradise of choices. In retrospect it’s a historic shame, shame, shame that the artists largely weren’t able to see it through the same lens. Recently attended a poetry night here in Tequisquiapan and the principal talent asked if anyone else wanted to get up and recite. I secretly plotted my chance for next time: a translation of some plaintive blues lyrics into Español, followed by a little wailing harmonica till I got the crowd clapping along, but…nah, too much like Koerner, Ray and Glover. - J.H.

per SpaceTelescope Institute : Two stars orbit one another at the center of this planetary nebula. The smaller, fainter red star in the mid-infrared image at right is at the end of its lifetime – it has puffed off layers of gas and dust for thousands of years. Its companion, the brighter, larger star in both images, has stirred up those ejections. Now, listeners can hear the stars and surrounding shells of material in each image clearly. In this sonification, the colors in the images were mapped to pitches of sound – frequencies of light converted directly to frequencies of sound. Near-infrared light is represented by a higher range of frequencies at the beginning of the track. Mid-way through, the notes change, becoming lower overall to reflect that mid-infrared includes longer wavelengths of light.
