Planetary Resources, Inc. to Mine Asteroids
It looks amazing that finally there’s someone with a vision towards the future. Planetary Resources, Inc. will officially announce April 24, 2012 their plans to mine near Earth asteroids. The company aims at getting metals that are expensive and hard to obtain on Earth such as Platinum.

Space View from ALMA
Space View from ALMA
ALMA – The Atacama Large Millimeter Array is operational and according to ESO releases its “first” image.
Good to know government space agencies and astronomers well…. keep shedding light on what’s going on in galaxies far, far away…
As for me… I have to see what’s going on in my own solar backyard… see you… I mean array you…
Watch it on ESO video cast

Awe from Wonderers’ Insides!
Awe from Wonderers’ Insides!
I am sharing this with you from looking at a video from Space.com I think it is important since astronomers are now discovering that comets, asteroids, meteorites and the like from our own solar system can in fact carry “elements of life” as we know it on our forgotten planet Earth.
As astronomers in the past were ridiculed, it is hilarious to see now how these incredulous experts stand in awe after “suspicions” of the past are confirmed day to day in light of the use of new technologies.

Wanderer from Home
Wanderer from Home
A new wanderer was announced recently. Add it to the others that have been found the last months. Scientists say, it comes from the Oort cloud [“no surprise”]. I just hope these astronomers focus on the alleged disturber rather that on the comets it keeps sending inward towards the sun and the inner planets.

Voyagers and the Heliosphere
Voyagers and the Heliosphere
It turns out the space probes Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 will be operational to leave the heliosphere. All this time they have been operated by scientists of NASA’s JPL Lab in Pasadena, California. Well, I hope too that all this time these people from NASA have taken the opportunity to use the probes to look at the “something” they say lurks in the Kuiper belt that is distrubing the comets and may still have influence over the orbits of outer planetoids [ironically named dwarf planets], mainly Sedna and Eris.

Astronomy Rediscovered
Astronomy Rediscovered
The “world” wide web is full of sites about astronomy. What makes this one different from the rest?, the reader may ask. A good answer to that question is that it simply is. For once, this website won’t pretend the reader is unintelligent like the most popular websites on astronomy do. Unlike “Them”, Rediscovered Astronomy will treat the reader as an adult. While it will provide the audience with information about astronomy, it will not insult the reader’s smarts. Overall, this website publishes articles on astronomy, space, and aeronautics. We especially focus on news from astronomers and astrophyscists that go far and beyond. It is in this way that our journey begins.
Lift off!
A Note from Our Editor
Ever since I experienced a major solar eclipse in Mexico during my childhood, my interest in astronomy grew. Later in the decade, when I heard the statements of a world renowned astronomer about changes in our solar system, I was to say the least astonished! Unfortunately, his radio interview was not broadcasted on the mainstream media and it is a shame not many had the chance of paying attention. Sadly, most astronomers did not talk about it despite the fact that each one of his predictions have been confirmed and discoveries [which he had predicted] have been announced in the last decade.
Later on, I was never able to track the interview to its original source and copies of it have not been found on the web or anywhere else. So I cannot verify the identity of the astronomer.
But I have to say people at least need to be paying attention to the stars. Look up at the sky and stand in awe. Space is full of surprises.
This is an interesting educational video for several reasons.
I will let you come to your own conclusions.
