Will Self & Myself 'Off the Shelf' Sheffield 2011 by Ruth Taylor
Hello Friend, into the dark we go...
Birch Moon... Samhain marks the end of the harvest for all Pagans, Picts, Celts, Druids and Nature lovers...and the entering into the 'dark-half' of the year'. The moon rises directly opposite the Earth from the Sun on the 10th November at 20:16...Remember: The Full Moon always rises at sunset. The last quarter at midnight. The New Moon always rises at sunrise. The first quarter at noon.
The asteroid…

Fiery Dahlia: taken at Chatsworth Gardens 24th September 2011 by Ryan Patrick Morley
Hello Friend,
Petals in Autumn... well, Autumn has certainly arrived. We have enjoyed such a mixture of weather lately, with 28°C temperatures, wind speeds of 50mph+ and torrential rain lately too...the frost is still yet to come. The colours in the woods around Sheffield have been stunning and the bounty of windfall has been huge! On a trip to the Chatsworth Estates 'Beyond Limits' sculpture exhibition recently we saw a spectacular array of Dahlias with their natural symmetry and fibonacci petal seq…

Hello Friend,

It took us on a journey from the Cocoa Plant all the way to the Sweet Shop. We also made our own Fairtrade chocolate bars which illustrated the twenty steps it takes to pr…

Lunar Eclipse - June 15th 2011 - Under a Blood Red Moon
Hi All,Just wanted to remind you incase you haven't checked your Lunar Wheel 2011 this week, that we have a Lunar Eclipse tonight (June 15th 2011).
•The eclipse occurs between 18:23 and 22:02.•Totality will last from 19:22 until 21.02.•Moon rise in Sheffield is at 21:15 (slightly earlier in the South and slightly later in the North)
At Moonrise (21:15 UT/BST), the moon will appear red, as the Sun casts Earth's shadow over the Moon and cuts out the shorter light waves of the light spectrum. The longer, red light waves escape through the earths atmosphere to illuminate the moon in a red hue. This means that, if we have a clear sky we will catch the end of totality as the moon rises over the horizon -…
