Mira's Mom didn't want to go to the hospital and be away from Mira for a month, but the doctors said she had to -- or else she could get really really sick from the cancer.
Mira wanted the month to be over already, so her Mom could be home and they could laugh and cuddle and snuggele and talk and play like before.
One night before Mira fell asleep she lay awake and thought of her Mom lying in a different bed across the city and how neat it was that two people could be thinking of each other at the same time in two different places.

 * Dusted Reviews - Mira Calix *
Mira Calix (Chantal Passamonte) is back with her trademark creep, bringing to the table an hour of delicately portentous electronics that are not so much haunting as haunted, each sonic element sneaking upon another and spooking it out.
Mira Calix’s work speaks of the fragility that lies at the near-invisible edges, which gets interpreted sometimes as a high paranoia that infuses her music.
Mira Calix certainly has a stunning palette of sounds to choose from, and her admirably adventurous dabblings are sometimes set to stun.

 Astronomical Interferometry Reveals the Close Environment of Mira Stars | SpaceRef - Your Space Reference
Mira stars are particularly interesting since they are similar in size to the Sun and they are undergoing a late stage of the same evolutionary path that all one-solar mass stars, including the Sun, will experience.
Previous interferometric studies of Mira stars led to estimates of star diameters that were biased by the presence of the molecular layer, and were thus much overestimated.
As Mira stars represent a late evolutionary stage of Sun-like stars, it will be very interesting to better describe the processes that occur in and around them, as a foreshadowing of the Sun’s own expected fate in the distant future.

 AAVSO: Variable Star of the Month, Mira
Mira, a cool red giant, is one of the most popular stars in the AAVSO observing program.
The first official observation of Mira in the AAVSO database was made by Joao de Moraes Pereira in St. Michael, Azores, on 10/16/1902 (8.4 mag).
The history of the discovery of Mira-type variables illustrates that (1) some new discoveries are re-discoveries of objects previously assumed to be novae; and (2) apparently logical deductions that early observations of a guest star correspond to a later discovered Mira-type may nevertheless be wrong.

 AAVSO: History Of Mira's Discovery
The period of Mira has been somewhat variable (see Table 1), hence a computation of phases to see if these older observations do indeed correspond to Mira might (again) not necessarily constitute certain confirmation, though indication of agreement of both position and period would be more promising.
Phases based on the period of Mira indicate that the 1593_4 observations at maximum of the 1592 guest star span 208 days uninterrupted by the daylight proximity of the sun.
Still the most numerous of all the different types of known variables, their rate of discovery is declining, whereas the advent of photoelectric photometry has produced much higher rates of discovery of stars of such Bsmall amplitude that they could not have been discovered by the older visual and photographic techniques.

Although the giant star Mira has been known for about 400 years, astronomers have had to wait for the Hubble telescope to provide the first ultraviolet-light images of the extended atmosphere of the cool red giant star and its nearby, hot companion.

In ultraviolet light, Hubble resolves a small, hook-like appendage extending from Mira and pointing towards the smaller companion.
