that is a circuit i have memorized:

-
it works by charging c1 to 2/3 vcc through r1+r2, then discharging c1 to
1/3 vcc through r1 alone. don't recall the r1/r2/c formulas offhand, but
you should be able to figure them out from the above.
notice also: the duty cycle is set by the ratio of r1 to r1+r2. you can't
quite get a 50% duty cycle, although you can get close. (actually with some
circuit mods one can get any duty cycle desired)
