Time for a shower....A meteor shower!

-
Heads up for all the skywatchers in the house, the meteor shower of the decade is taking place on Friday May 23 and lucky for us it's a Weekend! The first and last time I saw one was back in Canada and it was a truly mesmerising event. That coupled with the fact that I was with a bunch of my closest friends made night unforgettable. 

So now all if you have a chance to make amazing memories of your own and watch a rare and facilitating event, which sometimes is only once in a lifetime event. So don't miss out! Dubai Astronomy group is hold an event at Bab Al Shams to guide us through the media shower.  The event is free, obviously becuase no one is going to charge your for looking at the sky, which is great! The deets are mentioned below the poster.

Hopefully I will see you all there.

P.S. My sources say the peak of the shower is supposed to be between 12 am - 2 am on May 24.

      


Location: Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa

Event start: 9. 00pm of Friday 23rd May

Event ends: Sunrise on Saturday 24th May

 

Predictions suggest that a newmeteor shower will be seen on the 24th May as Earth is expected to cross the debris trail left by comet 209P/Linear.  Based on professional forecasts this meteor shower could turn out to be a unique meteor storm.  A meteor storm could see dense outbursts of bright multiple meteors and provide in excess of 1000 shooting stars an hour during its peak.  Lowest expectation would be 60-100 meteors an hour.  You won’t want to miss this….

 

This Dubai Astronomy Group event will also provide visitors an opportunity to look through the club telescopes at other celestial objects including; Saturn, Mars, double stars, globular clusters, nebula and other deep sky objects.  In addition, the Moon rises in the morning, just before sunrise, in a close conjunction with the planet Venus.  The event will feature live presentations and videos about the night sky plus featured online broadcasts to the wider international astronomy community.

 

The event is working in collaboration with Astronomers without Borders and will feature live links between Dubai and California.

 

The event is also supporting a global broadcast from Slooh Telescopes.  Slooh operate a network of robotically controlled telescopes which are used by its worldwide membership for Astronomy imaging and observing.  Slooh is a major worldwide outreach facilitator of public astronomy and hosts regular online events.  Dubai Astronomy Group is a listed partner.

 

The event will also include periodic Live Google+ Hangouts On Air and will be available on YouTube for those unable to attend in person.

Food Review - Circle Café

Circle Café has proudly joined the re-invention club and launched a new menu recently and I'm going to give you a low down on how well they scored. Tucked away into the quite Business Bay square in downtown Dubai, Circle Café is a cosy hidden gem. The simple and elegant interiors give a very relaxed home feel which makes the food more enjoyable. Let's get down to business then..First up were the Bagel chips. As the name suggests they were thinly sliced baked Bagel chips served with a Tarama Truffle dip. From the first bite I knew this dish was going to be in my top three for the night. They were so crisp and light that I couldn't stop munching. The zatar type seasoning gave it the perfect amount of subtle flavour. For those with a preference for stronger taste, the dipping sauce gives it a unexpected punch which grows on you with every bite. Next was the Whole Wheat Salmon Pasta followed by the Circle Greek Salad, both of which are healthy options but low on the seas

Food Review - Carluccio's and Bloomsbury Review

 The Dubai Mall has numerous hidden gems and every time I go there I stumble upon something new. A little pop up shop or cafe situated in some corner of the mall can always surprise. The places I tried this week aren't very hidden, but this was the first time I tried them. I did come across a new home store where I've never been before, but today we'll stick to Carluccio's and Bloomsbury. Carluccio's as the name suggest is Italian. You have two seating options, one facing the fountain and the other facing the mall (see image below). The service was friendly and quick considering the fact that it was a Thursday. We ordered two pizzas, a pasta and a salad. The margarita was thin crust, soft, chewy and pretty good. They did not have any options in chicken pizza's so we ordered for grilled chicken topping with our pizza., the result chicken strips on top of the same Margarita pizza. It din't taste bad, cause it still taste the same with just chicken on to
