Nescio quid…



I didn't know that. Today, I found out how HTML works via this site:

www.w3schools.com

It's really nice, and I'm trying to find out how it works, so if it looks fcked, you know why. I will now try: (text already is gray by HTML) make a horizontal line (gray). There's not really much to write about anymore, so it will be a very short blog this time (second time today I write)...bye




Non omnis moriar

Non omnis moriar; not al of me shall die. It's not because it's of me, but my friend P likes it. When I'm writing this, Jimi Hendrix is singing Hey Joe, and P tries tp play a song at my keyboard (and actually, he's doing quite well). I don't really know what to write about, except from the fact that our time table of school has changed (again). We now realy have a roster that only can be made by dumbnuts.

I'm reading a book, from Gerard Reve (for the Dutch ones: De Avonden). It is supposed to be literature and hard to read, but I find it boring and lame. I've once read a couple of English books, also literature. That wasn't lame, but nice. Many characters, hard words etc, really a chalenge.

By now, Jimi hendrix has stoped singing, and Arch Enemy (Metal) starts playing. I'm bored stiff. I have decided to go play guitar (since my lesson is tonight, and I haven't practised really much). So it's time to cut it off (shamely, I like it to write :P). Bye.

Non est ad astra mollis e terris via

Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. The trip from the earth to a star is not an easy one. This reminds me of a star which is about to explode. Eta Carinae. It's a huge star, and so heavy, that it can't barely carry it's on weight. It's luminosity is about 4 million times that of the Sun and it's the heaviest star yet discovered. Since it's so heavy, it will probably explode into a Supernova (plural: supernovae). Supernovae occur most likely once 50 years in a solar system as large as The Milkyway. When Eta carinae would explode, it would be so bright, that people could read a book with it by night!

Now, to bring ourselves to another subject, I saw something when I was searching the internet for a better explanation (for Supernovae), I saw something that pulled my attention; the star(s) Sirius. It's a star, followed or pulled by another (smaller ''star'', actually a white dwarf). Together they are the brightest star the naked human eye can see. In holland, we call it: 'de Poolster', because in early days it was used for navigation. I find it really interresting because the white dwarf directs the orbit of the ''big star'' and the big star directs the orbit of the white dwarf.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them! I have written enough for now, bye!

Facilis descensus Averno

Welcome on my blog.

For the people who question themselves what this means; road to hell is smooth.
I am still at school (mencia de mendoza, located in Holland), and I'd like to get up my English. Therefore, I made this blog. I also try to get every title of my blogs being latin, because I like that language. My blogs will not come out every day, but I'll at least try to get one out once a week.
Some of my blogs will be about science. Stars and solarsystems in particular. Also, some will be about music and of course about things that happened!
