A sunken ship off the coast of Florida makes for an inviting home for all manner of sea life, and even for a visit from one of it's former owners! Magical! Click twice to go full size.

NASA's solar dynamics observatory has photographed a very active sunspot emerging from behind the sun on it's left lower quadrant. An extreme surge of ultraviolet radiation was detected by the observatory on March 21st.

This appears to be the second coming of sunspot 1165, which was last seen in early March, and while on the other side of the sun has been growing in activity. If it spews it's energy toward the Earth in the next few days, we may see some interesting effects here on the home planet.

Stay alert, Earthlings! The solar furnace is angry.

Mondays are like that.....

Hay-Zeus and the devil ... but which is which?

For the first time in 18 years, the moon is closer to the Earth than at any time during that period.It is called the perigee moon, and it is in fact 14% bigger. It is even 30% brighter. Even better, and for reasons poorly understood by scientists, the moon looks much bigger anytime you see it close to the horizon and through objects like trees.

Therefore, now that the moon is super sized due to it's close pass to the Earth (14%!!), you can double super size it by checking out the view as soon as it begins to rise and before it clears the trees.

Winner!
