Kepler’s Laws

In astronomy, Kepler’s laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun.

Kepler’s laws are:

1. The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.   

Radio astronomy

Radio astronomy is a subfield of astronomy that studies celestial objects at radio frequencies. The initial detection of radio waves from an astronomical object was made in the 1930s,when Karl Jansky observed radiation coming from the Milky Way. Radio telescopes 🔭 may need to be extremely large in order to receive signals with high signal to noise ratio.

Halley’s Comet

Halley’s Comet, officially designated 1P/Halley, is the best known of the short period Comets and is visible from Earth every 75-76 years and is expected again in 2061. Halley was the first comet to be recognized as periodic. The Giotto and Vega missions gave planetary scientists their first view of Halley’s surface and structure.

There are some issues and discourses that Stan Rogers returns to, or at least that's from multiple points of view. We have The Field Behind the Plow and Lies (the agricultural plight from the respective POVs of a husband and wife), The Idiot and Free in the Harbor (young men going west and the towns they leave behind) The Mary Ellen Carter and The Jeannie C (the woman boat I love is gone! What do I do?), and Bluenose and Man with Blue Dolphin (sister ships!). But the most interesting juxtaposition of songs in Stan Rogers' discography, I think, is Northwest Passage and its lesser-known counterpart Take it from Day to Day.

Northwest Passage is one of Stan's most famous songs, and deservedly so: with its rock-quaking harmonies, references to British-Canadian colonial history and meditation on the sublime purpose of Rogers' own career as a traveling musician, the work produces a sense of longing that would be epic if it weren't so futile. While Rogers is ambivalent-at-most about the colonialism inherent in his historical perspective (read: The House of Orange), his choice to focus on the psychological journeys of "the first men through this way" makes projects like the Franklin Expedition sound like exemplary iterations of a universal human journey—these explorers are Just Like You, and their longing for the Northwest Passage is the same, and so is their suffering, so the project itself doesn't sound like an act of colonial violence in Rogers' song. Even the choice to perform Northwest Passage a capella underscores (hehe) the sense of profound isolation that Rogers describes.

But Northwest Passage is a song about captains: men who recognized "the call" to leave their homes for the not-uninhabited Artic expanse and whose journeys make it into the history books. But Take it From Day to Day approaches the Northwest Passage from the opposite direction. Literally.

The song is from the perspective of a common sailor on the St. Roch, the first ship to travel the Northwest Passage west-to-east. And instead of of being overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the Artic or the symbolic resonance of the voyage, he's contemplates more prosaic themes: namely, how much he misses his lover.

It's a little silly to think, as Rogers belts out the chorus—"I'm as far North now as I want to come/but Larson's got us under his thumb/and I signed up for the whole damn run/I can't get off halfway!"—how disappointing this perspective on Artic voyages proves compared to the unfulfilled longing of Northwest Passage. Instead, the unfulfilled longing of the anonymous narrator makes Take if From Day to Day into one of Roger's most sexual songs. I beg you to listen to it, if only to count the sensual metaphors and double-entendres.

But whether you have heard Northwest Passage and love it, or you're interested in a more down-to-earth perspective on Ice, I think it's a song you might enjoy.

The Artic (1854) Ambient Music

Si algo es cierto en esta vida

Es que no hay nada mejor que la exclusividad

Lo que todos pueden tener no lo quiero

Es mejor aquello que está reservado para ti

y solo para ti.

The Biologist and explorer James Murray was born in Glasgow, on July 21st 1865.

Murray began the study of medicine, but gave that up to study sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. After travelling in the United States and Europe, he returned to Glasgow and became a member of the Natural History Society of Glasgow, publishing papers on flora and fauna.

In 1902, Murray was appointed biologist on the Scottish Loch Survey, while engaged in this work, he was selected as biologist and naturalist on the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-1909 led by Ernest Henry Shackleton) During the absence of the two parties attempting to reach the South Magnetic and Geographical Poles, Murray was placed in charge of the winter quarters, Cape Royds, and spent much of his time examining the flora and fauna of the surrounding district.

On his return from the Antarctic, Murray joined the Bolivian Boundary Commission as naturalist, publishing notes on his scientific work in the region. He joined the Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-1918 led by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, as oceanographer in Karluk. The ship was originally attached to the Northern Division of this expedition, and assigned the role of establishing a base for Stefansson and the scientists on the north-western fringe of the Canadian Arctic archipelago. However, after transporting Stefansson to Alaska, Karluk became beset in the ice and sank. Led by Captain Bob Bartlett, a camp was established on the ice at the site of the wreck. In February 1914, Murray, with three companions, left in an attempt to reach land, and was last seen approaching Herald Island.

Any film buffs out there might remember the Scottish character in The Lost City of Z played by Angus Macfadyen, well he played Murray in the film, although he wasn’t painted in a great light we have to remember it was Holywood, just like another film Angus starred in……now what was that called again….
