Guess what the sun had for dinner this week? Give up? Okay, I’ll let you in on the story… Our local star ate a comet.
NASA’s orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory had been studying comet ATLAS S1 approach the sun, using its occulter to block out the light from our star’s disk and astronomers got to witness its last moments.
Ran across so many interesting items this weekend, so wanted to share them with you.
Aliens visiting Earth? Neil and I are waiting for crisp digital photographs/videos and of course DNA samples from trusted labs around the world.
No, no, it’s not supposed to be a capital S, and therefore it’s not someone from my past (even though I had a friend in high school with that name), but it refers to radio waves bouncing off the atmosphere. But why am I bringing this strange phenomenon up, and why now? Good question!

They have many fascination articles, including information on when and where you can watch the aurora borealis, more commonly known as the northern lights (in my part of the world).
