Listen People: When objectivity reaches its limit, then sympathy comes to fill the gap. If ‘you are there’ in the control room in Srikarikota, India – even if it’s via live youtube feed - the harder it is to take when science goes off the rails. Such I discovered for  myself when the beeping of a moon Lander stopped. That happened in Sept 2019 when communications went mute 2.1km from the lunar surface and Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram lander crashed on descent. The voices of the control room crew were muted too. They were lost in thought. The most recent news on the yoyage of Chandrayaan-3, too, was a bummer. Yesterday’s news held that  a moon rover deployed on the Southside of the moon by Chandrayaan-3 could not answer the wake up call after one ‘day’ on the planet. A long -- two-weeks by earthmeasure -- night’s hibernation under ultra-frigid conditions in the Sea of Nectars [may have] crashed its electronic components, and the rover failed to acknowledge sends.  This story pla...

1,731 views Aug 31, 2022 NASA’s JWST uncovered two views of the Southern Ring Nebula — in near-infrared light (at left) and mid-infrared light (at right) — and each has been adapted to sound. 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.

Coronal mass ejections are immense eruptions of plasma and energy from the Sun’s corona that drive space weather.

About 47 minutes after the flight began, launch officials were shown in a live video stream to be celebrating in the mission control room as the XRISM and SLIM spacecrafts headed toward their diverging cosmic destinations."   -NYT GOOGLE SEARCH  DESTINATION: MARE NECTARIS

  A lot of stories around Sunnyland Slim revolve around cars and weather - for example Paul De Marks testament in Sunnyland Blues about a ride through the snow from Arkansas to S.F. The road has taken many musicians, and there are many tales. It's the life of the road. Jim Haas recently shared a memory of a ride through snow from S.F. to Chicago with Sunnyland, which we are very glad to publish here. For non-stop musical inspiration, be sure to listen to Jim's on-demand Al Compas del Mundo Radioactiva  radio show and visit his Al Compas delMundo blog which chronicles the music.   A December drive from the Bay Area back to Chicago - In Slim's old station wagon with Sister Sarah along for the ride. We took turns driving. Listening to them exchanging small talk and recollections during many hours was an education all by itself. Regrettably, I don't recall much if anything of the subject matter with one exception. Sarah got talking about life back in Mississippi and d...
