January 26, 2013 – SPACE - INCOMING COMET: In little more than a month, Comet PanSTARRS will cross the orbit of Mercury and probably brighten to naked-eye visibility as it absorbs the heat of the nearby sun. Sky watchers around the world will be looking for it in the sunset skies of early March, when it passes closest to the sun and to Earth. Until then a telescope is required; here is the view last night through a 0.3-meter-diameter reflector in Argentina: A team of astronomers led by Martin Masek took the picture using the remotely-controlled F(/Ph)otometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor—“FRAM” for short.

January 26, 2013 – AFRICA – At least 36 people have died and nearly 70,000 have been displaced because of flooding in Mozambique, the UN says. The number of people affected by the flooding could reach 100,000 as flood waters continue to rise in the coastal city of Xai-Xai, the UN added. The UN said it would appeal to its donors for additional funds to deal with the emergency.

 

Days of torrential rains across the south-east of Africa have caused sea levels to rise to dangerous levels. The Limpopo River burst its banks. Neighboring South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana have also been hit by severe flooding. The United Nations in Mozambique said in a statement that 36 people had died so far across the country – 26 of them in the worst hit province, Gaza, in the south. Some 65,000 people in Gaza alone

Anonymous Hacks Department of Justice Website, Threatens to Launch 'Multiple Warheads'

The website belonging to the United States Sentencing Commission is down this morning, following a hack by Anonymous overnight. The site, which normally bears information about sentencing guidelines for federal crimes, instead showed a nearly 10 minute long YouTube video and the same message typed below it.

The hacktivist collective claims its takedown of the site belonging to the U.S. Department of Justice is in response to the suicide of Reddit programmer Aaron Swartz. At the time of his death, Swartz faced up to 35 years in prison on federal computer fraud charges. According to Anonymous, Swartz was "killed" and a "line was crossed":

I find Judith Gayle’s analysis of swirling layers of current power politics spot-on, and I especially appreciate the author’s willingness to identify complexity and paradox where she sees it. Grateful. 

BTW: Here’s a site that correlates a number of astrologers’ comments on today’s Full Moon, which occurs at 7° Leo/Aquarius conjunct/opposed the natal Pluto of myself and my generation — in this case, those born between 1941 and 1944. As usual, the Full Moon opposition signifies paradox: how to be and do both at once? In this case, Leo Moon vs. Aquarian Sun, the skillful relation of the individual in the group, requiring both self-centered expression and objective detachment.

Bear down into the Leo self; fully and generously express all of who you are to the group; recognize that you are playing a Leo individual role as part of an Aquarian group. See each person in the group as a Leo individual, unique and irreplaceable; encourage his or her expression; recognize that all Leo individuals are necessary for the harmonious functioning of the Aquarian whole.
