46 years ago ...
Youri Alexeïevitch Gagarine (1934, March 9th - 1968, March 27th), Soviet cosmonaut, marked the history of humanity and the space conquest while becoming the first man in space… on April 12th, 1961.
Handing-over in question of the marriage…
LONDON (Reuters) - Nearly a quarter of the British (23%) regret having married and 15% of been engaged admit that they will cross the step with apprehension, according to a study of OnePoll.Com made public Thursday.
If the majority of the people questioned in Great Britain say to have married by love, a third of the couples advances like reason the desire for having children or the need for paying the jointly bought house. Four percent acknowledge to get married… only for the gifts and the festival of marriage.
Wedding is for the best… and the worst.
Unfortunately, in the consumer society in which we live we prefer to divorce rather than to face the worst in couple!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glistenand children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

The first day of the Autumn corresponds to the entry during one time when the sunning decreases. It is one period of the very pleasant year, neither too heat, nor too cold, where nature offers a blazing and coloured face to us.

Happy New Year ....
… Not, it is not an error, it is quite simply Ethiopian New Year's day!
“Like the calendar copte, the Ethiopian calendar has twelve 30 days months each one plus five or six epagomenes days (usually called thirteenth month), but with names into amharic. The sixth epagomene day is added every four years on August 29 in the calendar Julien, six months before the epagomene day of this last.
Thus, Ethiopian New Year's day, 1st of the month of Mäskäräm celebrates on August 30 in the Julien calendar when the sixth day is added. For the years of the Gregorian calendar going from 1901 to 2099 included, the equivalent corresponds to September 11.
To indicate the date, the Ethiopian ones used in the beginning the Era of the Incarnation, which fixes the date of the incarnation of Jesus at March 25 of year 9 of the Christian era (Julien) (chosen by Annianus of Alexandria at the beginning of Ve century). But the first calendar year began seven months earlier, on August 29 of year 8 (Julien), which involved a eight years shift with the Gregorian comput of January 1 to September 10 then a seven years shift for the remainder of the Gregorian year. “

One year… already
One year ago, I started preparing my return in France after a few very instructive months in Munich and astronomical science (ESO with Garching) to take care of the data observed from the VLT (Broad Very Telescopes) in Chile or from HST (Hubble Space Telescope).
