A shot from the space station, taken a few years back, of the aurora borealis. It’s spectacular in photo form - I couldn’t begin to imagine the sensation of seeing it directly.
People stand beside St. Michael’s Tower on Glastonbury Tor Hill watching the moon as it progresses across the sky, at its closest point to the Earth for almost two decades, March 19, 2011. It is the first time since January 19, 1992, that the Moon has come into such close proximity to the Earth. (Ben Birchall/PA/AP Photo)
Keep your eyes on the sky.
Next week, the moon will make its closest approach to Earth in almost 20 years. Astrologers say the phenomenon, known as “Super Moon,” historically coincides with enormous natural disasters. Both the New England hurricane of 1938 and the Australian Hunter Valley floods of 1955 happened during Super Moons, they say. The last Super Moon came in 2005, at around the same time as Hurricane Katrina and the Indonesian tsunami.

The world’s countries can be arranged to form a giant chicken.
