Star Lines Awe Galaxy-, Moon-, Planet-Lit Hawaiian Skies January 2025


Summary: Star lines awe galaxy-, moon-, planet-lit Hawaiian skies January 2025 over University Park for Science and Technology, University of Hawaii at Hilo.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

Star lines awe galaxy-, moon-, planet-lit Hawaiian skies January 2025 over University Park for Science and Technology in University of Hawaii at Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii County, Hawaii state.
‘Ianuali (Hawaiianized “January”) 2025 brings Hawaiian darkening, darkened skies the navigational star families that bear the names the Bailer of Makalii and the Kite of Kawelo. Kekaomakalii (from Hawaiian ke kā o Makali’i, “the canoe-bailer of [the] Pleiades [from Hawaiian maka li’i, “eyes/stars little”]”) configures somewhat northeast and east of Kawelo’s kite. It delivers left-darkened, right-dazzled lunar-surface sides to such Northern-Hemisphere domiciles as Hilo, Hawaii County, Hawaii state (from Hawaiian hilo, “thread”; ha wai ‘i, “breath life-force supreme”).
The Bailer of Makalii extends south of the Akau horizon, west of the Koolau and the Hikina horizons, north of the Malanai and the Hema horizons.

Bishop Museum sky maps nightly figure 8:00-10:00 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian (4:00-6:00 Chamorro, 7:00-9:00 Samoa, 9:00-11:00 Alaska, 10:00-midnight Pacific, 11:00-1:00 Mountain, midnight-2:00 next-day Central, 1:00-3:00 Eastern, 2:00-4:00 Atlantic).
Kekāomakali’i, accentlessly Kekaomakalii, guards at its northernmost Hokulei (“Auriga”), southeasterly from the Akau horizon (from Hawaiian hōkū lei, “star wreath”; ‘ākau, “right [of west-ensconced sun], north”). It heads south of the Koolau horizon, toward the Hikina horizon with its having Namahoe (“Gemini”; from Hawaiian nā māhoe, “the twins”; ko’olau, “windward[-northeast]”; hikina, “east”). The Gemini duo Nanamua (“Castor”) and Nanahope (“Pollux”; from Greek Δίδυμοι via Latin geminī, “twins”; Hawaiian nānā mua, “star first”; nānā hope, “star last”) inhabit eastward.
The star lines Makalii Bailer, with its Puana (“Procyon”; from Hawaiian puana, “blossom”) southward, and Kawelo's Kite journey through galaxy-, moon-, planet-lit Hawaiian skies January 2025.

Darkening, darkened skies keepsake the galaxy Ia (“Milky Way”) Malanai-ward, not Hema-ward (from Hawaiian i’a, “fish”; malanai, “[southeast-horizon-gentle] breeze”; hema, “left [of west-ensconced sun], south”) horizons.
The star Aa (“Sirius”; from Hawaiian ‘a’ā, “bright-burning”), as the Makalii Bailer’s next-last star, locates over the galaxy Ia and lodges southeasterly, off the Malanai horizon. Kealiiokonaikalewa (“Canopus”) manifests itself as major star of the Bailer of Makalii off the Hema, west of the Malanai horizons (from Hawaiian malanai, “[southeast-horizon] gentle breeze”). Kealiiokonaikalewa (from Hawaiian ke ali’i o kona i ka lewa, “the chief of the southern heavens”) numbers as navigational star-family and star-line end-star of Makalii Bailer.
Star lines Kekaomakalii and Kalupeakawelo (from Hawaiian ka lupe a Ka Welo, “the kite of The Family-Trait”) occur in galaxy-, moon-, planet-lit Hawaiian skies January 2025.

The constellation Kalupeakawelo presents itself off the Hoolua, toward the Komohana horizons (from Hawaiian ho’olua, “[rain-bearing-strong] north wind”; komo, “west [where the sun] enters [the sea]").
The northwest and the west horizons quarter northward end-stars of the Kite of Kawelo even as the constellation Kalupeakawelo quarters other stars beyond the Komohana horizon. Iwakelii (“Cassiopeia”) resides, off the Akau and the Hoolua horizons, north of the Great Square of Pegasus that ancient Hawaiians recognized as the Kite of Kawelo. It shines over the galaxy Ia even as northeasterly Manokalanipo (“Alpheratz”) and southeasterly Piilani (“Algenib”), northwesterly Kakuhihewa (“Scheat”) and southwesterly Keawe (“Markab”) shine over dark skies.
Hawaiian skies transmit, around tradition-treasured star lines, galactic milky, lunar silvery tinges and Venus white-yellow, Mars red, Jupiter off-white, Saturn yellow, Neptune and Uranus blue-green tints.

Arctic Thaw Affects Greenland in Lost States by Michael J Trinklein


Summary: Arctic Thaw affects Greenland in Lost States: True Stories of Texlahoma, Transylvania and Other States That Never Made It by Michael J. Trinklein.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.


On Saturday, March 30, 1867, American politican William Henry Seward (May 16, 1801-Oct. 10, 1872), in his capacity as the 24th U.S. Secretary of State (Tuesday, March 5, 1861-Thursday, March 4, 1869), co-signed the Alaska Purchase treaty with Russian diplomat Eduard Guillaume Andreevich Stoeckl (Russian: Эдуард Андреевич Стекль; 1804-Jan. 26, 1892); in August 1867 he had requested that mining engineer Benjamin Mills Peirce (1844-1870) compile ". . . as full of a description as was possible of the condition and resources of Greenland and Iceland"; Peirce submitted his research to Seward Saturday, Dec. 14, 1867, and his findings were published in 1868 as A Report on the Resources of Iceland and Greenland (page 5; https://archive.org/details/areportonresour00statgoog/page/n19/mode/1up);
(left to right) U.S. State Department Chief Clerk Robert S. Chew (1811-Aug. 3, 1873), Secretary of State William H. Seward (second from left), 1st Second Assistant Secretary of State William Hunter (Nov. 8, 1805-July 22, 1886), Russian chargé d'affaires Waldemar Bodisco (1825-July 31, 1878), Russian Ambassador Baron de Stoeckl (third from right), U.S. Senator from Massachusetts Charles Sumner (Jan. 6, 1811-March 11, 1874), 6th Assistant Secretary of State and second of William Seward's five children Fredrick William Seward (July 8, 1830-April 25, 1915) in "Signing of the Alaska Treaty," painted by German-born American history painter Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze (May 24, 1816-July 18, 1868) and gifted to William Seward by American industrialist, inventor and philanthropist Peter Cooper (Feb. 12, 1791-April 4, 1883), Alaska Room, Seward House Museum, Auburn, central Cayuga County, central New York: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Arctic Thaw affects the chapter Greenland in the 2010-released Lost States: True Stories of Texlahoma, Transylvania and Other States That Never Made It by Michael J. Trinklein for Quirk Books (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
Trinklein begins his one-image, one-map, one-page Greenland, chapter 19 of 74 chapters, with a "prime location" (Trinklein:46) for-sale sign, for 535 million acres (535,000,000 = 216,506,819 hectares). He correlates Unitedstatesian conceptions of Greenland statehood as commencing with 24th Secretary of State (Tuesday, Mar 5, 1861-Thursday, Mar 4, 1869) William Henry Seward. Secretary Seward (Saturday, May 16, 1801-Thursday, Oct. 10, 1872) dealt with Russian diplomat Eduard de Stoeckl (1804-Tuesday, Jan. 26, 1892) about the Russian Empire's Alaska Territory.
Alaska ended as Department (Friday, Oct. 18, 1867), District (Saturday, May 17, 1884), Territory (Saturday, Aug. 24, 1912), 49th State (Saturday, Jan. 3, 1959) of Alaska.

The Russian Empire and the United States finalized that land sale at 1.9 cents per acre even as that sale figures at $7.2 million formulated today.
The Danish government guarded, and still guards, Greenland even as Denmark gave Iceland independence Saturday, June 17, 1944, and gauged Danish West Indies as United States-saleable. Eighty years after Secretary Seward, the Truman presidential administration had as 49th United States Secretary of State (Tuesday, July 3, 1945-Tuesday, Jan. 21, 1947) James Byrnes. Secretary Byrnes (Tuesday, May 2, 1882-Sunday, Apr 9, 1972) interacted with Foreign Minister Gustav Rasmussen (Saturday, Aug. 10, 1895-Sunday, Sep. 13, 1953) Saturday, Dec. 14, 1946.
Chapter 19 in Lost States by Michael J. Trinklein journeys its readers through such unsuccessful attempts as Secretary Byrnes judging Greenland purchasable for $100 million.

Forty-first United States President (Friday, Jan. 20, 1989-Wednesday, Jan. 20, 1993) George Herbert Walker Bush (Thursday, June 12, 1924-Friday, Nov. 30, 2018) kindled another Unitedstates-ifying Greenland.
President Bush and Prime Minister (Friday, Sep. 10, 1982-Monday, Jan. 25, 1993) Poul Schlüter (Wednesday, Apr 3, 1929-Thursday, May 27, 2021) looked at Greenland-located Unitedstatesian bases. It matters to the United States to maintain military bases on Greenland even as the latter manifests north of the United States and the Russian Federation. President Bush notified Prime Minister Schlüter of the United States necessitating an Arctic-Circle, nearby, northeasternmost niche for missile-defense system needs even as he netted nothing officially.
Nineteenth chapter Greenland in Lost States by Michael J. Trinklein observes Arctic thaw and biogeographical, strategic occurrences occasioning Unitedstatesian occupation with Greenland opting for Unitedstatesian statehood.

The Greenland chapter presents the world-largest island as a "fixer-upper" whose "mostly ice" (Trinklein:47) profile Arctic thaw, as part of global warming worldwide, proximitously palliates.
Author Trinklein perhaps facetiously qualifies the white-capped land for pineapple cultivation once Arctic thaw quits its ice cap even as that thaw perhaps quickens other quests. Underland: A Deep Time Journey by Robert Macfarlane refers to such Arctic thaw-revealed, world-relevant Greenland resources as copper, diamonds, gold, nickel, rare-earth minerals, rubies and uranium. Chapter 24, Iceland, sequences the United States' statehood stirrings, after the Second World War (Friday, Sep. 1, 1939-Sunday, Sep. 2, 1945), for Iceland as 49th state.
The chapter Greenland in 160-page Lost States by Michael J. Trinklein traverses almost 150 years of Unitedstatesian Greenland-statehoodizing temptations that Arctic thaw turns even more tempting.

American lawyer and politician Bertrand Wesley "Bud" Gearhart (May 31, 1890-Oct. 11, 1955), who served seven terms (Thursday, Jan. 3, 1935-Monday, Jan. 3, 1949; 74th to 80th U.S. Congress) as the U.S. representative for California's 9th District (East Bay region of San Francisco Bay Area), introduced a resolution Monday, Oct. 29, 1945, to purchase Greenland and to extend statehood to Iceland (Congressional Record--House, vol. 91, part 8 [Oct. 29, 1925; pages 10131-10169], page 10134): via Congress.gov

Death at the Sanatorium Adds an Episode of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye


Summary: Death at the Sanatorium by Ragnar Jónasson adds an episode of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye, American mystery series on Icelandic television in 1983.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.


Private investigator Philip Marlowe (Powers Boothe) accepts as his choice arm the Colt Detective Special. The First Series (1927-1946) of John Henry Fitzgerald (1870-1944) of Colt Firearms (1918-1944) accommodated him perhaps at all times, perhaps only on his accepted caseload. The Second (1947-1972) perhaps accompanied him on his post-1947 adventures even as he never added the Third Series (1973-1986) and the Fourth Series (1992-1996), both posthumous; Saturday, July 21, 2007, image of "Revolver Colt Detective caliber 38 Special": Jan Hrdonka en:User:Hrd10, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Death at the Sanatorium, Anglicized by Victoria Cribb from Hvítidauði (“White Death”) by Icelander Ragnar Jónasson adds an episode of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye, American mystery series on Icelandic television in 1983.
The Unitedstatesian series Dallas brings Elísabet (“God [is perfect, plentiful] seven”) to Icelandic Wednesday-evening television, perhaps since its beginnings Sunday, April 2, 1978, definitely in 1983. First-season first-episode Philip Marlowe, Private Eye catches the attention of the Akureyri-circulating Reykjavíkingur (from Old Norse akr eyrr, “cornfield gravel-bank”; reykr vík -ingr, “smoke bay inhabitant”). Perhaps Elísabet devotes another evening to the four first-season episodes deployed between their debut Saturday, April 16, 1983, and their season finale Saturday, May 14, 1983.
Death at the Sanatorium: A Mystery by Reykjavíkingur Ragnar Jónasson exposes Elísabet as she emotes through the years 1983 and 2012, not during the year 1986.

The year 1986 perhaps finds Elísabet among Íslendingar (from Old Norse íss land -ingar, “ice-country inhabitants”) audiences of six second-season episodes of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye.
The second season of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye goes from Saturday, April 27, 1986, with Blackmailers Don’t Shoot, through Saturday, June 3, 1986, with Red Wind. Spanish Blood hails from the magazine Black Mask of November 1935 even as its filming honors director Robert Iscove and writers Jeremy Hole and George Markstein. Raymond Thornton Chandler (Jul 23, 1888-Mar 26, 1959) identified his short-story private investigator initially as Carmady, John Dalmas or Mallory and, from 1939 onward, as Marlowe.
Death at the Sanatorium jubilates an episode of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye even as second-season second-episode Spanish Blood joins six episodes later, Saturday, May 4, 1986.

Someone with a .25 kills Miguel Delaguerra, city-attorney candidate and lawyer whom best friend Philip Marlowe (Powers Boothe) knows as Spanish, on his 10th wedding anniversary.
Marlowe links the loss, at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time [PST] (2:00 a.m. next-day Greenwich Mean Time [GMT]) six days before the election, to Don Imlay. Might Mayor Big John Masters’ (John Vernon) man, City Attorney Imlay, have murdered Spanish muddled by meeting a cigar smoker and perhaps dime-store-perfumed Sadie Burns (Dixie Seatle)? How many mistresses apart Sadie and hustlers and pool sharks apart Max Chill (David Bolt) numbered among those whom Spanish nestled into his Puma lake cabin?
Death at the Sanatorium offers us an episode of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye even as all 11 episodes occasion hard-boiled crime-fictionalized overwhelmed law-enforcement and societal structures.

Who presented Stella LaMotte Chill (Michele Scarabelli) to Spanish and to Toriba (Michael Copeman), drug-peddling pal of Commissioner Drew (Mavor Moore), Mayor Masters and Attorney Imlay?
Lieutenant Yberra (Frank Pellegrino) quests autopsying Attorney Imlay even as that report then queues among the evidence qualified for and quartered under Imlay- and Spanish-murder inquests. Elsewhere in the television series Annie Riordan (Kathryn Leigh Scott) ranks emotionally and professionally with Marlowe even as Belle Delaguerra (Helen Shaver) rates as first love. Gun on the floor, Imlay among appointments, shells boxed with cigarettes suggest other than Masters and Imlay supplying Spanish-womanizing photos, Spanish shooting Imlay, Stella shooting Spanish.
Death at the Sanatorium transmits one episode of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye, series in all of whose episodes transpire hard-boiled crime-fictionalized troubled law-enforcement and societal systems.

A .32 caliber gun on the office floor perhaps affirms Miguel Delaguerra as a suicide even as .25 caliber bullets inside him perhaps affix as assassin City Attorney Don Imlay agitated by Commissioner Drew (Mavor Moore) and Mayor Big John Masters (John Vernon), drug peddler Toriba (Michael Copeman) agitated by Commissioner Drew or mistress Stella laMotte (Michele Scarabelli) agitated by brother, hustler and pool shark Max Chill (David Bolt). The .25 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) of the assassin, the .32 ACP of Delaguerra and the .38 ACP of Marlowe agree in their rimmed headspaces and their semi-rimmed cases; image of "Comparison of handgun calibers from left to right: .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum, 5.7x28mm, .25 ACP, 7.62 x 25 Tokarev, .32 ACP / 7.65 mm Browning), .380 ACP / 9x17mm, 9x19mm Parabellum, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, .45 GAP, .45 ACP, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .45 Colt": Chickenwing, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons
