About our Banner
The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.
With all this corruption going on…you would think there would be more democratic government officials shouting about it? Am I crazy? I mean this latest shit with the Trump bank? And the fucking aircraft carriers?
Honestly…where are the people saying anything?
They are on MSNOW and Twitter
A few on CNN.
oh good

Astronomers discover a new kind of cosmic object – a black hole ‘star’
The body is the size of the entire solar system and glows with a brilliant red light billions of light years from Earth
Astronomers claim to have discovered a new kind of cosmic object, a black hole “star”, which is the size of the entire solar system and glows with a brilliant red light.
The international team made the breakthrough after focusing their attention on a mysterious red spot in images of the early universe captured by Nasa’s James Webb space telescope.
The object was lurking in the constellation of Cetus, the Whale, billions of light years from Earth. It is thought to have formed 660m years after the big bang, astronomers’ leading theory as to how the universe began.
Measurements of the exotic body found that while it resembles an immense star, it releases 100bn times more energy than any known star can produce. The energy output is far closer to that observed from black holes than stars.
“We have found a new type of astrophysical object, a black hole star,” said Dr Rohan Naidu who performed the work at the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is now at the University of Hawaii.
It “shines with the energy typically associated with black holes, but at the same time bears signatures classically associated with stars”, he added.
