Guy builds a wasp sucking machine and the comments are full of people insulting him for being inhumane.



It's almost like people don't realize that insects have no higher brain function and are simply organic automatons.

Does anyone know of a command line tool that can give me positions for stars for a given location and time? I need it for scripting, so no point and click programs will do. Or perhaps a C or Perl library which will do the calculations?

Would an Ubuntu package work? I've heard astronomical-almanac is pretty good.

Thanks! Aa came up when I googled, but I missed that it does stars, not just planetary objects.

Found this children's Soviet era geographic atlas among some books that my wife has from her childhood:

It covers quite a bit: the world, animals, peoples, space expolarion, polar exploration, etc. It's already a historical document. smile
