Question by R G: Is it OK to expose the camera to Sun Light ?
I took pictures of the Solar Eclipse today and I did use a filter on many occasions. But, there was one that I took without. Please check the following link and let me know whether it's OK to take pics like this.

Answer by insiderYou risk damaging your camera by focussing the sun on your sensor.....you wouldn't be the first to write off a camera doing it. And if it's an SLR or DSLR, damaging your retina, too.
But if your camera shows no ill effects and you're not seeing a blurred spot in your vision, you got away with it.
(BTW nobody else seems to have problems putting links in questions.)

Create a Total Sun Management Solution With Motorized Awning Windows
Adding a great awning to your porch is not the only issue you need to be concerned with when it comes to creating a sun management solution. There are a number of reasons why you would want to control the amount of sun that enters your home. For starters energy conservation is a big concern these days. With the rising cost of energy homeowners are finding that keeping indoor temperatures in check with alternative methods is now more important than ever.A great solution for creating some shade from the midday sun without having to add coverings to every window on your home is to install automated retractable window awnings. These great little mechanical canopies allow you to individually control the amount of light that enters each and every window of your home. Think of them like mechanical window treatments that can be open and closed at the press of a button. Essentially they offer all the convenience of shutters without any of a hassle. Think about how great it would be to be able to close the windows that are getting direct sunlight and keep the ones that are getting indirect sunlight open.What's even more amazing about some of the motorized awnings on the market is the fact that they can be programmed to open and close automatically at certain times of day. This means that you can have your windows protected from the midday sun automatically each and every day without having to think about it.Motorized awning windows truly are a great innovation. They add an extra degree of energy efficiency to your home at a very reasonable cost. This makes them a fantastic addition to your home if you plan on selling in the near future. Home buyers absolutely love this type of value added detail.Unfortunately there are not a lot of options to choose from as automatic window awnings are a fairly niche market. Sunsetter is one of the larger names in the industry however there are definitely more to choose from. If you find yourself not entirely sure what direction to take when choosing your window awnings you may want to consider speaking with an interior decorator who can probably help guide you in the right direction. Many of them have experience dealing with this new technology and would be more than willing to help for a reasonable fee.

Question by chasvanblom: Where / if does NASA have a LIVE-cam accessible for our viewing of tonight's lunar eclipse?
With all the uproar of this morning's lunar eclipse, I hope that NASA or some satellite link has (some?) posted web-link to view the moon with all this action.
Where / if is such a free web-link available?

Interesting Times From an Uranian Astrologer
Neptune, I would say, is the most misunderstood planet. Some would refer to it as the planet of spiritually, and mysticism. I, on the other hand, refer to Neptune as the big deceiver that turns us into con artists and illusionists -- that have to pay the piper when Saturn comes around to get into the game, like now.I have found that as Neptune goes retrograde its veil of deception begins to crack, and when it goes direct again the emperor's new clothes are revealed and this scammer stands as naked as a jay bird. Neptune had gone retrograde June 3rd two days after a solar eclipse. It's clear to see Neptune at work as a new can of worms has been opened with the Wiener photo scandal.Previously an individual had a certain amount of anonymity on the internet. Now, with face book and twitter what you put out there comes back to haunt you big time.Before I go forward with this, I want to take you back to April 23rd when mercury went direct opposite Saturn. Until Mercury goes retrograde again in August, we are living under the influence of Mercury/Saturn. Look at all the scandals that came to light since Mercury went direct: Dominigue Strauss-Kahn, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and now as Neptune was going retrograde, Anthony Wiener.On Sunday June 12, Saturn will go direct and the cosmic bill collector will be out, demanding payment for unwise deeds done and wise deeds left undone.On June 1, we had a solar eclipse at 11 Gemini 02, Venus/Kronos was midpoint Pluto and Uranus, and Hades was only minutes away for 0 cardinal. The world heard about a very narcissistic political leader who had aspirations of becoming the next Mayor of New York City. He sent pictures of himself on twitter that had sexual overtones. What makes it so funny is that he is funny! I guess that is the Neptune station retrograde. Then Saturn stations and he gets slapped down because this solar eclipse squared the midpoint of his Sun Uranus and semi-squared his natal Venus, and Neptune stationed retrograde conjunct his Saturn. This person is Anthony Weiner and his birth date is September 4, 1964, Queens, New York, time unknown.As Saturn will go direct at the midpoint of Mars and Admetos, there will be a decrease of work. Many projects come to a standstill and the unemployment numbers should go up again. It also means your actions are etched in stone especially since Saturn is going direct with Hades on the cardinal axis. Hades on the cards means your dirty laundry is flapping in the wind and will be talked about for a very long time. On the day Saturn goes direct Mercury will be conjunct the Sun and the midpoint between Saturn and Sun Mercury equals the Moon. This combo says face it, the gig is up and take your lumps. The public will not be able to close their eyes to what
