Good morning all,
 I hope you had a wonderful weekend and will have a great week ahead, of course, one day at time….i hope you all, those who watched, the super bowl last night. I have to admit I was way off as I thought Carolina would win easily although I was hoping Denver would….but i learned the result of a sporting event affects my life little  and will continue to move on with a smile….way too many people live and die with the results of sports, in my opinion, and I don’t think anyone loves sports more than me….I am off today to visit schools in Gainesville, Georgia for 2 days…..trying to get ready now so quickly wanted to get this to you….I have about an 8 hour drive, so need to hit the road….wishing you a wonderful day...we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, make each day special, be appreciative of the good in our lives, smile & have fun!!!! …:-) :-)  gabe

The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the passing of NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell: "On behalf of the entire NASA family, I would like to express my condolences to the family and friends of NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell. As a member of the Apollo 14 crew, Edgar is one of only 12 men to walk on the moon and he helped to change how we view our place in the universe.  “Edgar spoke poetically about seeing our home planet from the moon saying: ‘Suddenly, from behind the rim of the moon, in long, slow-motion moments of immense majesty, there emerges a sparkling blue and white jewel, a light, delicate sky-blue sphere laced with slowly swirling veils of white, rising gradually like a small pearl in a thick sea of black mystery. It takes more than a moment to fully realize this is Earth … home.’ “He believed in exploration, having been drawn to NASA by President Kennedy’s call to send humans to the moon. He is one of the pioneers in space exploration on whose shoulders we now stand."  For more information about Mitchell’s NASA career, and his agency biography, visit:

Hubble Views Merging Galaxies in Eridanus
 <http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/hubble_friday_02052016.jpg>
This image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows a peculiar galaxy known as NGC 1487, lying about 30 million light-years away in the southern constellation of Eridanus. Rather than viewing it as a celestial object, it is actually better to think of this as an event. Here, we are witnessing two or more galaxies in the act of merging together to form a single new galaxy. Each galaxy has lost almost all traces of its original appearance, as stars and gas have been thrown by gravity in an elaborate cosmic whirl. Unless one is very much bigger than the other, galaxies are always disrupted by the violence of the merging process. As a result, it is very difficult to determine precisely what the original galaxies looked like and, indeed, how many of them there were. In this case, it is possible that we are seeing the merger of several dwarf galaxies that were previously clumped together in a small group. Although older yellow and red stars can be seen in the outer regions of the new galaxy, its appearance is dominated by large areas of bright blue stars, illuminating the patches of gas that gave them life. This burst of star formation may well have been triggered by the merger.
