There is a reason why Robert Pattinson looks so intense in Twilight.

.On Saturday there will be a New Moon in Gemini, the sign ruling communication and CHANGE. This is a very fortunate time to swiftly move forward and accomplish your goals - as long as you finish something, or wind something down first. And because Mars and Jupiter are also in Gemini, any change you make will be accelerated or speeded up, perhaps by necessity. You may be very determined to end a relationship, or change from one activity to another, or push harder on a dream in order to make it come true. Now is your chance to do that....so work hard at "clearing the decks" so your ship of future happiness can set sail this summer.  More information about this show available at: Seattle Community Media

New Books Reviews on Visual and Performing Arts, Graphic Design, Normative Ethics, Frieda Harris Life, History of the Moon, and Sex Trafficking Post author By Neo Post date April 29, 2025  Lunar: A History of the Moon in Myths, Maps, and Matter by Matthew Shindell published by ‎University of Chicago Press in 2024. First textbook on Lunar stratigraphy by Thomas Mutch was published in 1970. Then, he pointed on the rapid progress of lunar exploration. This one, written by the National Air and Space Museum curator Matthew Shindell, is the first book to present the cartographical charts of the Moon, while exploring the Moon’s role in science, popular culture, and mysticism. It includes the commentary with the key geological characteristics and interpretations at each chart. This oversized, heavy book shows how humankind around the world saw and interpreted the Moon within Millenia. It explores the prehistoric lunar calendar and focuses on the role of the Moon in creation myths of Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. It explores the Moon’s role in astrology and its importance in establishing an Earth-centered solar system. Not to mention the use of the Moon in the visual arts. https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/L/bo240063025.html  Thinking through Graphic Design History: Challenging the canon by Aggie Toppins published by ‎Bloomsbury Visual Arts in 2025. Graphic design consists of projecting visual communications with an intention to transmit specific messages to social groups, with specific objectives. As an interdisciplinary branch of design and of the fine arts, its practice involves creativity, innovation and lateral thinking. This account explores and challenges our understanding of the design canons and graphic design history. It suggests the critical practices and the social engagement based of progress and changes we see every day. Illustrated with 250 images, this volume offers 17 case studies – perspectives from designers from all over the globe – to inspire, improve and to stimulate. This account suggests that the graphic design history can be useful, but its narratives need to be updated. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/thinking-through-graphic-design-history-9781350327207/  Pompeii in the Visual and Performing Arts: Its Reception in Spain and Latin America by Mirella Romero Recio published by Bloomsburry Academic in 2023. Pompeii was destroyed in 79 CE when a nearby volcano called Mount Vesuvius erupted, covering it in ash and other volcanic debris. The city’s quick burial preserved it for centuries before its ruins were discovered in the late 16th century. This book focuses on the Pompeii and Herculaneum influence on Spain and the South America’s countries. It explores the visual and performing arts, architecture, decorative arts, theatre, dance, more. This account shows the influence of Pompeiian architecture in Spain in paintings that show scenes inspired by Roman life, and the buildings modelled on those of Pompeii. The Pompeii’s influence can also be found in Chilean architecture and Mexico’s visual and performing arts. This book shows the influence of the ancient frescoes and the use of modern plaster casts of statues. Some chapters focusing on the comics and photography. This beautifully illustrated account could be of interest to scholars, students and those, interested in arts, architecture and history. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/pompeii-in-the-visual-and-performing-arts-9781350277922/  Oxford Studies in Normative Ethics, Volume 14 by Mark Timmons published by the Oxford University Press in 2025. This book offers the best works in the field of normative ethical theory. This account focuses on how the personal relationships affect the person’s duties, hypocrisy, explanatory pluralism, how life contributes to its value, expressive duties as demandable and enforceable, forgiveness, moral lack, the case of consequentializing normative moral theories, more. Leading philosophers offer the original contributions, exploring a wide range of moral issues and positions. They are analysing the competing approaches, question how we should act and to live well. This annual publication is an important resource for students and scholars working in the moral philosophy field. https://academic.oup.com/book/58639  The Lady and the Beast: The Extraordinary Partnership between Frieda Harris and Aleister Crowley by Deja Whitehouse published by the Oxford University Press in 2025. As one of the most significant pioneers of 20th century magic and mysticism, Aleister Crowley had his works considered in different academic studies. In the meanwhile Harris was recognized for her role as the artist executant. The author of this book suggests that Harris’s involvement extended far beyond the artwork itself. In a book The Book of Thoth, each contributor fulfilled a variety of roles. This account offers a critical analysis of the life and works of Frieda, Lady Harris, wife of Sir Percy Harris, Liberal MP and party chief whip. Research shows that Harris was fascinated by mysticism and alternative belief structures prior to her meeting with Crowley in 1937. Her esoteric interests, combined with her skills as a painter, made her ideally suited to illustrate Crowley’s Thoth Tarot. https://academic.oup.com/book/58979  Sex Trafficking in the United States: Theory, Research, Policy, and Practice by Andrea Nichols published by Columbia University Press in 2024. This book focuses on sex trafficking in the US, exploring the underlying dynamics. It offers the findings and examines the experiences and backgrounds of survivors, buyers and traffickers. This account explores the common risk factors of victimization, weak social institutions, safety nets, citizenship status, sexuality, gender, age, and disability. It helps to shape the policy on sex trafficking and the feminist, neoliberal, criminological, sociological viewpoints. This book reflects on the everyday people lives, service providers, and activists. It offers recommendations for policy and practice. Read all: http://wonderpediausa.wordpress.com

Robotic exploration missions provide vast amounts of data to help NASA prepare for future human exploration and learn more about the universe. Research Objective: The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) is imaging robotic and past human exploration sites on the moon. Description: By comparing photographs from past eras of exploration with the high resolution data being returned by the LROC Narrow Angle Camera, we can identify new craters that have formed. In this case, bright ejecta and rays extend from an impact site that is not present in the earlier image from the Apollo 15 panoramic camera. Time Frame: The LROC image was acquired during LRO's exploration mission in 2010 and compared to the Apollo images taken four decades ago. Application: Discoveries of recent, datable impact craters like these establish the present-day impact cratering rate on the moon, which will lead to better understanding of the bombardment rate in the inner solar system.

This magnified view shows tiny Polydeuces, a moon that was discovered by the Cassini spacecraft and is a mere 3 kilometers (2 miles) across. Along with much larger Helene (32 kilometers, or 20 miles across), Polydeuces orbits Saturn at the same distance as large, icy Dione (1,126 kilometers, or 700 miles across). Because this body was only recently discovered and is so small, scientists presently know precious little about it. Further observations by Cassini may yield additional insights about its nature and composition. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 22, 2006 at a distance of approximately 73,000 kilometers (45,000 miles) from Polydeuces and at a Sun-Polydeuces-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 41 degrees. The image was obtained using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. Scale in the original image was 434 meters (1,423 feet) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of four and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Jackie Khalilieh was diagnosed with autism as an adult, which - among other things - led her to look back at her teen years with a new perspective. Now, she's written a YA novel, \"Something More,\" which is a teen romance about a protagonist who also happens to be on the spectrum. Jackie tells guest host Vivek Shraya about how her own experience inspired the story. Plus, Devon Portielje of Half Moon Run tells the story behind the band's new song, \"9beat,\" from their new album, \"Salt.\"

For there was never a tale of more woe than New Moon, which surely did blow. And ANOTHER thing… You know, the more I think about Bella, the more shocked and appalled I am at her behavior. Throughout the movies she displays a neediness and selfishness that verges on sociopathic, almost as if she can’t even begin to comprehend the feelings of others as she leaves misery and broken hearts in her wake– and not just of her potential paramours. Think about her father, Charlie, and all the melodrama he has to put up with. She regularly comes home battered, bruised, and beaten, but answers his honest concerns only with lies. She disappears into the woods, collapses from exhaustion and exposure, causing him to mobilize a town-wide search for her fucking dead body, and returns with absolutely no explanation. Then she drops everything to flee to Italy for an indeterminate amount of time, and even the vampire Alice voices more concern for Charlie’s feelings than Bella does. Her hopeless, helpless, woe-is-fucking-me attitude veers beyond mere misogyny and becomes truly grotesque. Think about her friends and her mother, whose lives would be devastated if her suicidal thrill-seeking ended her life. Does she care? No, because she can’t see beyond her own needs, acting for months like a petulant child denied her favorite toy. When it becomes clear that becoming a vampire would call off the truce between the Cullens and the werewolves, does Bella care that her incessant demands to become a vampire would therefore put the Cullens (who she claims to care about) in constant, mortal danger? No. Does she care that people are dying, being torn apart by wolves, sucked dry by vengeful vampires, all because she doesn’t have the good sense to get away from undead monsters? No. Does she care that her dad, who dotes on her constantly (only God knows why) has to clean up after these bodies? No. Does she even spare a moment to consider Edward’s feelings against turning her into a monster like him? No. In fact, her desire to become a vampire is completely selfish as well. She’s worried about getting old, fat, and wrinkly like everyone else, and damn it, that’s not fair! Why should Edward stay young and dreamy for all eternity, and not ME? ME, ME, ME! Even once Edward has gone, I don’t think her pissy mood has as much to do with being alone as hating the thought that Edward could possibly be happy without her. Anyone who relates to this girl is incredibly disturbed and needs some serious mental help. Anyone who’s ever been in love has perhaps wrestled with the same feelings, the same neediness that Bella experiences in these movies, but good lord, it’s a high school crush. We got over it. We moved on. Sure, that first love and that first loss were hell, but we got a fucking grip on our lives and moved on. You should never have to beg for love, and if you do, it ain’t love.

It has been more than 25 years since Apollo 17 returned the last of the Apollo lunar samples. Since then, a vast amount of data has been obtained from the study of rocks and soils from the Apollo and Luna sample collections and, more recently, on a set of about a dozen lunar meteorites collected on Earth. Based on direct studies of the samples, many constraints have been established for the age, early differentiation, crust and mantle structure, and subsequent impact modification of the Moon. In addition, geophysical experiments at the surface, as well as remote sensing from orbit and Earth-based telescopic studies, have provided additional datasets about the Moon that constrain the nature of its surface and internal structure. Some might be tempted to say that we know all there is to know about the Moon and that it is time to move on from this simple satellite to more complex objects. However, the ongoing Lunar Prospector mission and the highly successful Clementine mission have provided important clues to the real geological complexity of the Moon, and have shown us that we still do not yet adequately understand the geologic history of Earth's companion. These missions, like Galileo during its lunar flyby, are providing global information viewed through new kinds of windows, and providing a fresh context for models of lunar origin, evolution, and resources, and perhaps even some grist for new questions and new hypotheses. The probable detection and characterization of water ice at the poles, the extreme concentration of Th and other radioactive elements in the Procellarum-Imbrium-Frigon's resurfaced areas of the nearside of the Moon, and the high-resolution gravity modeling enabled by these missions are examples of the kinds of exciting new results that must be integrated with the extant body of knowledge based on sample studies, in situ experiments, and remote-sensing missions to bring about the best possible understanding of the Moon and its history.
