And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, we Catholics toppled communism. That’s why Catholics, who possess absolute truth, need to be in charge of politics.
Social media is full of all sorts of outrageous, unbelievable lies. That’s why you need the Catholic Church, with its sure foundation of unquestionable truth, to help you.
Last night, finally, I managed to get some pictures of the comet that’s being dominating the astronomy news for the last couple of months. Until now it’s always been below the horizon or behind clouds.
I struggled to find it at first even with binoculars. I was expecting a naked eye object, but in the end it took a camera to reveal it.
So here it is, looking west from my back garden in Southend at about 7.30 last night.
This is a cropped and slightly enhanced version. The original looks more like this.
(The comet’s near the bottom in the middle of the picture.) 0.5s exposure at ISO 3200.
And through the telescope.
Again, this has been slightly enhanced. The original is a bit darker.
2s exposure, ISO 3200. These are single frames, so no stacking.
The comet should still be visible for a while, although I’m told it will fade rapidly. As you can see above, it’s already not that bright.
And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, the menopause. Being on fire for the Invisible Magic Friend is a good thing, so hot flushes aren’t all bad.
And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, religion. It’s great.
People used to think spirits walked among us. But they weren’t as clever as us. My religion, with virgin births and transubstantiation is much more sensible. It was figured out by very clever people, so it must be true. Young and foolish people tend to dismiss this. But older and wiser people, like me, know it’s true.
Science is great too. But it doesn’t know everything. Whereas religion, specifically my religion, does.
