The Ort Field.

An ice cloud that surrounds our Solar System?

The Voyager spaceships have now reached the furthest points of our Solar system to discover that we are in some ways protected by a ice shield, but as yet the depth of this Ort cloud is still not known and what is beyond it may be deep space!

It is one of may new discoveries that are being made this year about our universe, with new radio signals coming from strange new objects not seen before and several Nova's exploding where there was thought to be nothing?

In other news we will be having some close encounters this month with some very large asteroids and a warning that in years to come a potential collision!

Many probes are also on the way to Mars, the U.S., the U.A.E and Europe are all sending theirs, so something interesting must have been found that we as yet are not being told about?

Model World.

Modelling.

The hobby of modelling those machines that we like to look at, film and photograph can be some times the closest we will ever get to seeing how they are designed and made. From Space to trains and automobiles to ships, there is nearly a model for every machine that has ever been created.

Owning a model layout or a racing track to a model diorama is knowing that you have put it together and can adapt and change it at any time.

Wither these models are glued or remote control, racing cars, boats or a model railway they will bring us hours of pleasure.

The model world is not for everyone, but for many it is a great joy and past time. I wonder what Father Christmas will be bringing us this year in our over sized stocking?
