		<description><![CDATA[
The Zodiacal Light Over Arizona Sky Village.
This week&#8217;s challenge is an elusive one. With the ecliptic at a high morning angle and the autumnal equinox behind us, now is a good time to attempt to spot the zodiacal light . Look to the east, about an hour or so before local sunrise.

		<description><![CDATA[   Watch out; Astroguyz is about to get partisan. In the most recent presidential debate, McCain ridiculed Obama&#8217;s proposal to fund a new projector for the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois to the tune of 3 million&#8230; catch the blow by blow here. Never mind that this wasn&#8217;t for a simple vis-vis overhead projector, but a [...]]]></description>

  Every once in a while, we here at Astroguyz find a toy that surpasses expectations. Canon’s Image Stabilized (IS) binoculars are one such gizmo. I’ve had my trusty pair of 15 X 45’s for almost ten years now, and they’ve worked flawlessly! They also fit my two criteria [...]]]></description>

Save the Hubble! (Credit: NASA).

      I almost didn&#8217;t do this weeks&#8217; event. The Hubble space telescope is in trouble. This past week, the failure of Hubble&#8217;s Control Unit- Side A has meant that the telescope is effectively crippled in space; engineers will attempt to transfer services to the Side -B backup, which hasn&#8217;t been used [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
 The topic of extra-terrestrial life is a controversial one. Indeed, it&#8217;s only been in the last decade or so that the subject has moved from the realm of science fiction into that of mainstream science. In Beyond UFOs: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Its astonishing Implications for Our Future, (Princeton Press), author Jeffery Bennett covers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Astronomical Observing in the Military.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
F-15s&#8230; the Mighty ZZ!
    The military has enabled me to observe astronomical phenomena from some unique locales. My interest in astronomy has waxed and waned (pun intended) all of my life. I&#8217;ve basically been looking at the sky since I&#8217;ve been old enough to look at anything.
