The Milky Way Galaxy

On the platform of our planet Earth we can view the milky extending across the sky.  Mostly, we see the edge of the flat disk that is the galaxy in which we live.

This video takes a close look at a new image of the Milky Way released to mark the completion of the APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy (ATLASGAL). The APEX telescope in Chile has mapped the full area of the Galactic Plane visible from the southern hemisphere for the first time at submillimetre wavelengths — between infrared light and radio waves — and in finer detail than recent space-based surveys.

“Fargo” the Series – a short review

My wife and I just finished watching season 2 of Fargo.  I found it to be quite overwhelming.  It is unbelievably well written.  The story line was somewhat constrained by the actual events, but it was masterfully composed for maximum effect.  Only one event in season 2 showed the writers rebelling against their fate.  That was comical.

The two seasons tell the story of two generations of Sheriffs and their families in Minnesota who encounter the most outrageous and unlikely circumstances in their work.  The characters are interwoven seamlessly with the plot. They came alive.  No cartoons.

Prominent in their development was the portrayal of the choices they made in the face of outrageous circumstances.  Their moral fiber, loyalty, integrity and personal ambitions were challenged at every turn.  What they did in each instance was compelling to watch and made one wonder what would happen next.  Every choice was followed by consequences that became ever more complex and difficult to navigate.  The question became “who would survive life?”.

There were many stories within the story, a few of which went on to a rather predictable fate.  I was satisfied.
