“Cute new places keep on popping up around Clavius, it's all getting gentrified”

Clavius is a lunar crater located in the southern hemisphere of the Moon. In "2001: A Space Odyssey," (One of Alex’s favourite films) Clavius Base is a fictional lunar outpost where significant events occur in the storyline.

If I had a nickel for every time a piece of Biblical onscreen fiction depicted Simon Peter with an emotional support Roman friend/frenemy, I'd have two nickels

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice

Clavius (middle) and Tycho (top left) craters on the Moon // Georges

Clavius crater is named after the German astronomer and Jesuit priest Christopher Clavius (1538-1612) who wrote an important astronomy textbook in the 16th century and approved the modern-day Gregorian calendar.

Tycho crater is named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) who collected highly accurate observational data for Mars which was later used to prove the heliocentric (Sun-centered) model of the Solar System

Yay! Finally -- no clouds in the eventide. It's been since the last full phase since I've been able to get a pic of the Moon. That's basically three weeks, as we're a touch less than first quarter now. This particular video frame is surprisingly clear -- you can actually see the scumble inside Clavius and the peak of Arzachel. Mercury is still visible, I caught it while I was doing errands, but it was too low when I was able to get outside with the binoculars. Still haven't woken up at 4:30 to get the four morning planets LOL. #iphoneastrophotography #lunarphotography #themoon #20xbinoculars #shallowskyastronomy #firstquarter #clavius #arzachelcrater #mercury https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUY5skst7c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

[losttranslator]

like most Christian movies risen is cheesy and biblically dubious at times and gets loads of cultural stuff wrong for the sake of being recognizable to a primarily American audience but I'll readily admit the poor roman tribune's absolute bafflement at these religious weirdos who keep talking about love and stuff has me cackling unhingedly

Like, is it sound biblical doctrine and is it historical believable? No? Is it hilarious and do I enjoy seeing this random shmuck lose his mind going through what's essentially a very disturbing psychological thriller from his pov while the disciples are overflowing with joy? You bet??

The guy is dealing with horrifyingly decomposed dead bodies trying to find the right cadaver and previously sane soldiers going crazy and dead men being spotted alive and strange supernatural phenomena and angry gods and unexplained madness and religious fanatism spreading like a contagion, and meanwhile the disciples (and Jesus) are all like HELLO BROTHER WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THE BEST NEWS EVER :D :D :D

Mass Effect Verse: Clavius 15C m/m gif for James

Clavius was normally not someone to start an office affair, sure James had been a human and now working for the turian councilor. Shortage of people it seems. But it seems as the councilor went to get his rest, James was left alone with Clavius who had pulled down the mages pants just a little bit to touch him.

This is Moon Base Clavius (1981), from Task Force Games. I dunno if you noticed, but I was trying to have a science fiction board game theme this week. That meant this beat out The Creature that Ate Sheboygan because it is a bit more science fictiony, what with the moon base and the laser guns.

It is a pretty straight forward game at a glance. Nothing jumps out at me as being particularly interesting the way Starship Troopers did. Its Americans vs. Russians. On the moon. Pew pew.

I guess this is what you’d call a filler post.

“ i killed someone. someone in their group, someone close to them. that's why i'm here. “ (from Clavius to Tony)

“I’m sure that everyone’s done something that they wished they hadn’t,” Tony replied softly, his gaze not meeting the others. It hadn’t been so long ago that they had called him the merchant of death for the weapons he had built and the destruction he had caused as a result.
