I don't mean to be one, but I can't help getting the mean side of me OUT this season. After Valentines Day, Christmas is one of my most detested holidays. No, Santa didn't skip my chimney the other year, and there's nothing wrong with my brain. I'm sure there are hoards of us who don't like the Christmas season. Not one bit. picked by leopoldogolba 9 months ago

Auroras (or aurorae) [sing: aurora] are natural colored light displays,
which are usually observed in the night sky, particularly in the polar zone.
Some scientists therefore call them "polar auroras" (or "aurorae polaris"). picked by zlovelj 10 months ago

Last night there was an intense solar flare. This might cause Auroral activity far more intense than normal and reaching far more south and north than usual.

But wait! That's not all. The 13/14th will also be the date the Geminid Meteor Shower will peak with a possibility of more than a 100 meteors per hour! picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago

"If you remember, the opening of the pilot pronounced the episode as the beginning of Volume One," Kring said in an interview. "Volume One comes to a conclusion at the end of episode 23, and Volume Two starts with the opening of season two. And Volume Two is a different story." picked by runninutes 2 years ago

Incredible solar powered aircrafts ready to change the way we’ll fly in the green future...... picked by yashibn 1 year ago

A groundbreaking took place Monday at Nellis Air Force Base, just north of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the desolate, arid, windswept Mojave Desert. The ceremony will initiate construction on what will be the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) array in the United States, capable of producing 15-18 megawatts of power. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Silicon Valley startup Nanosolar has shipped their first product - *$1/watt* panels! This makes solar *cheaper than coal* for the first time ever. Those of us who follow these sorts of things have been watching Nanosolar for a while now and wondering when they would ship – looks like the day has arrived! 18-month backorders though :( This is immensely huge news, but of course the news ... read full post picked by belvario 9 months ago

If you want to witness a total solar eclipse and you live in Europe, you’re out of luck until at least 2026. Unless you live in one of a few of Europe’s geographical extremities (i.e. Spitsbergen, Nova Zembla, Abkhazia and other parts of eastern Georgia or the southern part of Russia), the astronomical phenomenon will pass you by. picked by Mershaullk 1 year ago
