Interesting NOVA episode about eclipses, including how far back the Babylonians realized there was a pattern and cycles of eclipses, and how Edmund Halley used new discoveries about gravity to perfect calculations of where and when you could see them...
> "Eine gewaltige Reaktion im Weltall: Der Doppelstern »T Coronae Borealis« dürfte bald wieder eine sogenannte Nova erzeugen. Das seltene Himmelsspektakel soll so hell werden wie der Polarstern."
Right now on the Tel Aviv beach. We'll never forget. Scream it. Share it. Our girls are currently being raped and mutilated in CAPTIVITY. Bring them home NOW.
For those that missed my post from yesterday, I explained my home screen on my phone and the full details of what it consists of. You can read the article here:
"Attendees said they were particularly struck by the fact that Schem had been held by a family with young children in their home in Gaza.
Lawmakers met on Capitol Hill with Mia Schem, a French-Israeli hostage freed from Gaza last year, ahead of Schem’s appearance at Thursday’s State of the Union address as a guest of House Speaker Mike Johnson."

Not sure what to make of this, so I'll just provide the text written by Eldar (the Choreographer) about his short film, which as you can see, is very literal.
I'm very excited to present my new short film, inspired by the #Nova festival. While I'm proud of the outcome and grateful for my partners, creating a film on this subject was challenging. However, I had to tell this story in my own way, despite the pain, sadness and endless sorrow.
I'm deeply thankful to all the talented individuals who accompanied me on this journey; their contributions are invaluable. Without them, none of this would have been possible.
#Eurovision / The fact the world is missing is that threatening to ban Israel from participating in the Eurovision Song Contest, would have had much bigger impact than any #ICJ ruling against it. Israelis are addicted to attention, and pity.
Feel bad for Eden Golan. Representing Israel while your country is standing accused of #genocide must be morally challenging for her … or maybe not?
Q: How are you preparing for the public diplomacy [hasbara] front?
[…] I'm planning a huge and powerful Eurovision number. I want to show everyone how strong we are.
[…] I have a huge team behind me that will help me, that will get me ready for this. All we need to do is bring our truth. I will bring this truth, because we have nothing to hide.
Note to self: “having nothing to hide” is the literally the antonym of #Hasbara 🙈 … maybe her #Hebrew is not that great?
[cont’d] not politicizing the #Eurovision, the words for “October Rain” include:
Why does time go wild Every day I'm loosing my mind
Holding on in this mysterious ride
Dancing in the storm
We got nothing to hide
Take me home
And leave the world behind
The #EBU signaled the song will be disqualified, causing the massively incompetent and redundant minister of Arts and sports, Miki Zohar, to demand the compensation should not be politicized 😳 and the song accepted unmodified, leaving the door open to discussing the title.
[cont'd] #Eurovision / EBU rejects second Israeli candidate
#Kan corporation sent another song for #EBU's consideration to represent #Israel at Eurovision, as part of the negotiations to approve a song that have been taking place in recent weeks.
The EBU signalled to the corporation that both songs are generally unacceptable to them, and the crisis regarding Israel's participation is very deep.
The lyrics of the song "To Dance Forever" include the chorus:
"To dance like an angel / You will remember / I will dance forever", as well as the lines in Hebrew "Hope does not stop it only spreads its wings / It is like a million stars that suddenly light up the skies".
