A few days ago I posted a video by José Francisco Salgado showing the sky over telescopes in Chile. He’s just put up another one, this time showing the motion of the sky over several observatories: “Sidereal Motion” . Sidereal motion is literally the movement of the stars; the apparent rising and setting caused by the rotation of the Earth. You don’t notice it second-by-second as you watch the sky,… Broadcasting platform : Vimeo Source : Bad Astronomy Discovery Date : 25/02/2011 14:56 Number of articles : 2

Golden Globe Awards Honor Glee, The Social Network, Call Out Gay Scientologists

Ricky Gervais kicked off the 2011 Golden Globe Awards by staying true to his vow to be more subversive than he was a year ago. Just ask Tom Cruise and John Travolta, at whom the comedian aimed this opening joke: “Also not nominated was I Love You Philip Morris , Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual characters pretending to be gay. So the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists, then… Probably. My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke. They’re not here.” And with that… the show was off! Watch Gervais’ intro here, following by a list of the event’s major winners: Golden Globes Intro Best Television Series: Drama Boardwalk Empire Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series: Drama Katey Sagal: Sons of Anarchy (TV Fanatic note: YES!!!!!!)

‘I’m so happy and proud to share this honor with Jake [Gyllenhaal],’ the ‘Love and Other Drugs’ actress says of Best Actress nod. By Jocelyn Vena Anne Hathaway in “Love and Other Drugs” Photo: FOX Slowly but surely stars are reacting to news that they’ve been nominated for a Golden Globe, after the nominations were announced on Tuesday morning (December 14). Everyone from Nicole Kidman (“Rabbit Hole”) to James Franco (“127 Hours”) have expressed gratitude about the accolade. And the men of “The Social Network” are feeling equally overjoyed about their Globes recognition. “It was an honor to be part of this wonderful movie and we’re so glad it was acknowledged by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” Jesse Eisenberg said in a statement about his nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama. Eisenberg’s co-star Andrew Garfield is also a nominee. Garfield said about his Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role nod, “I’m very touched to have been nominated by the HFPA this morning and am thrilled that ‘The Social Network’ has been recognized, as well as David [Fincher], Aaron [Sorkin], Jesse [Eisenberg] and Trent [Reznor]. The process of making this movie was an incredibly creative and joyous experience and to see the film honored in this way is truly a thrill and is something for which I’m very grateful.” (Click here for photos of this year’s biggest nominees!) Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and composer Atticus Ross scored nominations for their work on “The Social Network”; they are up for Best Original Score. The pair said they “are incredibly flattered by the recognition we’re receiving for our work scoring ‘The Social Network.’ Working with David Fincher and his team ranks among the most rewarding creative experiences either of us have experienced, and we are thankful for the opportunity. Being part of a team and watching a project you truly believe in resonate with the outside world is its own reward, but this feels pretty great, too.” “Inception” director Christopher Nolan is nominated in directing and writing categories for the trippy flick. “I’d like to thank the HFPA for recognizing all of our hard work on ‘Inception.’ It is particularly gratifying to be recognized for a film you’ve carried with you so long, and shared with so many incredible artists and craftsmen across six countries,” he said. “It is a great honor and we are thrilled to be a part of such a prestigious group of nominees.” After an impressive 2010, Jeremy Renner was recognized for his role in “The Town” with a Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture nomination. “I raise a cup of coffee, grinning from ear to ear at this very early hour, to the HFPA with gratitude as this represents an enormous milestone for me personally as an artist and I will be forever indebted to Ben Affleck my partner in crime.” “Thank you to everyone at The HFPA. It’s a great thrill to be honored for this performance,” Paul Giamatti said in a statement. He’s up for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical for “Barney’s Version.” “I believe Richard [Lewis] made a lovely movie, and I am really happy for the film to be recognized. I share this with Rosamund [Pike], Dustin [Hoffman] and all the cast and crew, who were a joy to work with.” Hollywood’s leading ladies also expressed excitement about their nominations. “When the phone rang this morning, it was my mom telling me I was nominated — I was thrilled!

Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Joins Los Angeles City’s Boycott on Arizona

L.A. County supervisors join city's AZ boycott Tuesday, June 01, 2010 DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The L.A. County Board of Supervisors voted to join the city's economic boycott of Arizona over the new immigration law. The L.A. City Council already voted to boycott the state because of Arizona's new immigration law. Supervisors Gloria Molina and Zev Yaroslavsky say there is no question that America's immigration system is broken, but they believe Arizona's new law is a violation of American civil rights. Molina and Yaroslavsky introduced a motion asking Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona to repeal SB 1070. The motion also directs the county to review all investments in Arizona, such as state municipal bonds, and to suspend travel to Arizona for county business. The motion passed by a vote of 3 to 2. The Board of Supervisors willl also send a letter to President Barack Obama and Congress, asking them to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Supervisor Don Knabe said boycotting Arizona is a misguided reaction to a bad law, while Supervisor Mike Antonovich called the motion “stupid.” “It doesn't make sense, it doesn't follow the law,” Antonovich said. “All Arizona is doing is following federal law and that is also California state law.” Supervisor Knabe released a written statement saying he also wouldn't support the motion. “Los Angeles County is currently facing tremendous fiscal challenges with our own dysfunctional state government, which we are attempting to work through. This motion takes away from these efforts, and will distract from what we are elected to do for the residents of this county,” Knabe's statement read. Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas was the deciding vote on the issue. The LAUSD Board of Education is also joining the list of those opposing Arizona's law. The board will consider on Tuesday a resolution condemning the law and curtailing economic support of Arizona, introduced by board president Monica Garcia. The resolution would urge students and their parents to be aware of the law, which authorizes Arizona police to question someone's immigration status when there is suspicion that the person may be in the state illegally. added by: EthicalVegan

Megan Fox, notorious for making attention-grabbing comments to the media, engaged in a public spat with director Bay around the release of part two last summer. But Bay later defended her and said he looked forward to working with her on part three. In announcing “Transformers 3” in October on his blog, http://www.michaelbay.com, he wrote: “P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture.” PR flak for Megan Fox would

MPAA ‘Pitching Fit’ Over Box-Office Futures

The full lobbying force of Hollywood has landed on Capitol Hill, where legislators are hearing alllll about regulatory approval of box-office futures trading. Both major exchanges have met with approval so far, with Cantor Fitzgerald getting a green light on Tuesday. The MPAA, meanwhile, continued to rail against what a statement called “a risky online-wagering service that would be detrimental to the motion picture industry and the 2.4 million Americans whose livelihoods are based on this industry.” Do I count? I hope not; I totally plan to short-sell Robin Hood . [ THR ]
