Rhode Island City Enraged Over School Prayer Lawsuit – NYTimes.com

CFI sent this to me, I kinda chuckle at them, they sure look for opportunities to grab some face time. When I asked them for help with establishing a cable TV spot in town, they just looked at me funny. But here they are promoting Jessica Alquist like she’s their poster child. I get it, [...]

A lesson from Hitch: When rudeness is called for

A lesson from Hitch: When rudeness is called for I’ve just been reviewing my experiences with Christopher Hitchens. He informed me, entertained me, provoked me like nobody else, and I will miss his antic spirit more than I can say. I didn’t know him for long, though I’d been reading his pieces, with mixed reactions, [...]

An Atheist’s Creed

An atheist’s creed by PZ Myers I believe in time, matter, and energy, which make up the whole of the world. I believe in reason, evidence and the human mind, the only tools we have; they are the product of natural forces in a majestic but impersonal universe, grander and richer than we can imagine, [...]

    Launching Balloons to Study Space Weather

     
    In Antarctica in January, 2013 – the summer at the South Pole – scientists released 20 balloons, each eight stories tall, into the air to help answer an enduring space weather question: when the giant radiation belts surrounding Earth lose material, where do the extra particles actually go? This NASA-funded mission is called BARREL, for Balloon Array for Radiation belt Relativistic Electron Losses. Each balloon launched by the BARREL team floated for anywhere from three to 40 days, measuring X-rays produced by fast-moving electrons high up in the atmosphere.BARREL works hand in hand with another NASA mission called the Van Allen Probes, which travels directly through the Van Allen radiation belts. The belts wax and wane over time in response to incoming energy and material from the sun, sometimes intensifying the radiation through which satellites orbiting Earth must travel. Scientists need to understand this process better, and even provide forecasts of such space weather, in order to protect our spacecraft.› Read MoreImage Credit: NASA
