This is what I found on our beach!

Not my cat, Mavros, as some of you will know, he is black!  And some may have guessed!

Kaboom: Russia has an unsubtle plan about how to deflect asteroidsKaboom: Russia has an unsubtle plan about how to deflect asteroids

Could Russia's plan to 'nuke' doomsday asteroids save the world from apocalypse?

Russia is working on a scheme to save humanity from asteroids by blasting them with nuclear weapons.

This is seen as a better option than simply blowing them to smithereens - a tactic which could end up showering Earth with radioactive comets.   Oh yes, I remember that bit!

Stargazing

British television with a brand new project – Pulsar Hunters. We need your help to discover unknown pulsars. These are the dense, fast-spinning cores of dead stars. Get involved in the biggest Zooniverse event of the year at www.pulsarhunters.org.

As the neutron star spins, beams of radio waves from its magnetic poles sweep across our line of sight so it flashes like a cosmic lighthouse. Radio telescopes can be used to detect this very regular 'tick-tock' of a spinning pulsar. But discovering new pulsars is like finding a needle in a haystack. We must search for their faint, repeating signals hidden among terrestrial radio interference from devices like mobile phones, radars and telecommunications equipment.

Have they tried throwing stones?

So, I'm being facetious!  NASA has set up an asteroid defense team to protect the Earth from potentially threatening celestial bodies that could strike our planet, damage our environment and even wipe us out, the US Government’s space agency announced last week.

So I didn't like it looked like a potato! (See below)

Stones of strata

This morning I found all three of these stones.  The top one is better than this, {I know, looks a bit like a potato!} but the other two are quite good I think.  I was wondering whether to photograph them or what, when I remembered that I had scanned Karagiozi when I first found him and it turned out well.  - Today's Find (Actually it was the day before I started the new blog, but I wanted to be dramatic.)

Probably more from Eastbourne, but I like the colours and patterns.

Bits of Eastbourne Pier still washing up at Hastings! [?]

Work of wind and waves.

Artwork! Found on the beach, as is.

Happy New Year - decorations washed up from under the deep sea party last night.
