Auto accidents, Car accidents, Truck accidents, Motorcycle accidents are all happening around us. We try to drive our vehicles as carefully as possible but it is always the other drivers' that we have to worry about - right?
How else can we cope with the potential of an accident. Being aware of everything around you when you drive and not be distracted by cell phones, dvd players, gps systems etc. Of, course its easy for me to say all of this, but you know that what I'm writing is true.
Get rid of the distraction and the concentratoin is more on driving, and then being able to deal more speedily with the other driver's bad driving.
Telescope view of comet Holmes from Gais/Switzerland. Raw video taken with 114/500m mirror telescope and Watec 120N video camera. Step outside to see the comet. It is currently visible to the naked eye.
The eclipse of 1999 was my first total solar eclipse. Unfortunately the sky was overcast during totality. Nevertheless it was impressive and we had fun. We observed the eclipse near Metz in France.
