  • Today’s Weather Trivia:

April 13,2005: A small patrol of Canadian soldiers driving snowmobiles fanned out across the Arctic archipelago on sovereignty manoeuvres. They reached Isachsen 4 days later. High winds rocked trailers on huge I-frames and wheels 1 m in diameter. Despite severely reduced visibility, the patrol arrived within 500 m of its destination. The worst anyone suffered after the -30°C trek was minor frostbite.

Our stellar neighborhood is thinly settled. Only 11 stars lie within 10 light-years of the solar system, and only one of them is visible from northern skies: Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, which is well up in the southwest in early evening.
