Aurora Watch

A large coronal mass ejection (CME) was detected leaving the Sun early today. It is expected to deliver a glancing blow to our magnetosphere when it arrives tonight (or early Monday morning). I don't know about you, but... I could sure go for a nice light show. Checkout Spaceweather.com for the latest updates.

Night Sky Friendly Exterior Lighting


I got tired of the fact that it was so difficult to buy good dark night sky friendly lights... that I decided to open my own darky sky friendly lighting store. Starry Night Lights is the first and only night sky friendly lighting retailer. We carry a large and growing selection of ordinance compliant, night sky friendly exterior lighting fixtures.
Outdoor home lighting should add to the beauty of your home while simultaneously providing you with enough light in the right locations so that you may navigate safely.

10th Planet Found


Astronomers announced the discovery of a 10th planet... orbiting our star far beyond Pluto. Initial estimates place the size of the as yet unnamed planet at 1.5x that of Pluto. No doubt, this'll ignite more debate over exactly what a planet is. Checkout Science@NASA for more details.
