Happy Holidays!
Nov 25th, 2021 by gare
What a beautiful place to hit pause eh? Please join me for the time being over at https://homeplanetariums.buzzsprout.com/ as we take a somewhat zany (who me) look at those stars and culture. Thank you! Narrator Gare
Melpomene Has a Go
Nov 23rd, 2021 by gare
(147-15) - and like everybody else, plays what SHE wants! (with a little help from Ada Jones & Billy Murray, 1911)
And so it goes here at the Overlooked Hobby Hotel, a metaphor for Home Planetariums. Everybody plays what THEY want to play, and everybody's their own boss. Radio W O B Y stands for 'What's in your Own Back Yard!?' Hopefully you'll find happiness in whatever YOU decide to build out there. After all, the stars are always shining. Maybe if we ask nicely enough, they will show us all the way.

The Man in the Window
The sky there's a man in the window. Amy eight years old said this over dinner with her parents. I thought I heard you talking in the spare bedroom this morning said her mother. Her father, one of the world's leading solar astronomers smiled. Who are you talking to? Amy he wanted to know the man in the window. He's not so bright early in the morning said Amen. He said we'd better start getting ready. concerned that her fantasy friend might be getting out of hand Mother said Now Amy, you know this is make believe right? Getting ready for what anyway? He sang some songs to me about life and light and stuff. Then he said that tell dad. Your father perked up but this. This was on the verge of getting totally out of hand but he couldn't resist asking. Tell dad what. And then he was astounded when the young girl began spouting off numbers. Hold on, he grabbed the pen and tried to follow what she was viewing. And he continued for a little while reciting number she somewhat and probably had remembered as her dad furiously scribbled her mother looked aghast at her. Amy finally finished her surprise recitation and looked in passively at her father inexplicably intoned frequencies you'll see. Amy's dad looked down at what he had scribbled and was astounded, discover they did look like frequencies. Totally caught up. Now in her spell. He leaned forward. The man that you really get these numbers aiming? Did you find them somewhere? How can you remember them? The man in the window said I would. He said only kids could hear him. Adults know too much. What else her father couldn't stop at this point. Something about six months to go. The big lizards couldn't understand the last time but we could if I told you staring at the paper her father finally said I look into this. What big lizards? Amy finished. It was time for cake anyway. He said a flare up a flare will kill everything or something like that. You have to warn people and build shelters or something. Can I have cake now please? Did he say what his name was? said that. Amy looked at him as she began her chocolate cake. Something about Apollo. He's that bright man in the sky. I can see through the window in the morning. He said he had to warn us. He said that we were his greatest children. And we'd understand thanks for listening

The Ghost of Warwick Castle
Halley's Comet first appeared in 240 bc I was not there personally. That next appeared in 163 BC. People ran to tell their friends and neighbors. It appeared a broom star hanging in the sky. Ominously. It scared the hell out of people frankly. Comets were Harbinger's of Doom. This is why I'm playing doom music. You can see comet here in our sky. Above the castle. We're in the 1301 Warwick Castle. Oddly enough, the castle is located in Warwick England, which was visited by Halley's comet. ETC
The castle itself was built by William the Conqueror, Bill to his friends, but he didn't have many, because he conquered everyone. There is a ghost in Warwick Castle, just as a commt as a ghost of the sky coming back every 76 years in the case of Halley
Speaking of Harbingers of Doom. Sir Fulke Greville died in this castle in 1601, killed by his man servants who was a servant who just happened to be a man. It is said that the ghost of Sir gray Ville can be seen late at night and sometimes earlier standing in the battlements of the tower as ghosts often do. Halley's comet was last seen around these parts in 1986 and we'll be back when all of us are dead. And we will be the ghosts. Here is a picture of the actual ghost of Warwick Castle Do you think I make these things up? I do not. So what is a comet? A ghostly visitor, a broom star such as the one I have here constructed for you. This concludes our lesson on Sir gray Ville Warwick Castle and the ghost of the skies called comets. One more thing. Some superstitious folk believed that comets were actually Dragons come to consume us, but I don't believe in dragons. Do you?
