UCLA Planetarium

Amidst the hussle and bussle that is school, I took the time off to vist the UCLA Planetarium and Observatory, part of the UCLA Division of Astronomy and Astrophysics where there was a show on stars. There was also a telescope viewing of current objects that was in the night sky.

The graduate student gave us a quick lesson on the birth, life and death of stars. (No not the USP module). He then showed us the night sky by pointing out various constellations, imaginary lines of the Earth's orbit, celestial equinox, astrology terms that I couldn't make any sense of, but was still cool all the same.

Astronomy never fails to amaze me, and remind me how small we really are in the large scheme of things. Astrology and the Zodiac just confuses me. LOL.

The cold night, a star-filled sky. The perfect combination.

On a totally seperate note, there was a reading which my Prof got us to read, which hadn't been published yet.

"This Brave New World, has already begun in Singapore, perhaps the most restrictive non-Muslim society in the world..."

Goes on to talk about the "Great Marriage Debate" and then the streaming policy in Singapore.

I promptly shot a long-ass email up to the Prof.

Is there a cross-hair on our country? Why are we inviting so many criticisms from all over the world? I think its really our duty as citizens to correct any fallacies of our country to the best of our ability. We've all had gripes about the system, but there are some things that you just cannot stand for and swallow.
