    Well, it isn't actually new but it is new to me...

    I have been wasting a couple hours here!

    http://www.livescience.com/ (can anyone make that clickable??)

    It is full of really neat articles.

    (btw, it's "real" science, no psuedo-sci! I know I am skeptical about some science stuff people put up here...)

    science is baaaaaad! and everything humans discover is most likely BS as long as they arent the GB! the bible says that one shouldnt rely on humans.
    so this website is absolutely nonsense, better read a WT instead!

    no, seriously, thanks for the link ;D i love it.

      Sundogs

      This beautiful picture was captured at sunrise on a cold and still Park City morning. Called sundogs, this phenomenon is caused by sunlight being refracted through ice crystals. Taken by Don Brown with an Olympus OM1 and a 28mm lens, this image shows two parhelia on each side of the sun and one just visible at the top of the image. The ice crystals must be preferentially oriented horizontally and the sun-observer line of sight must be close to horizontal in order to see such a site. Click to enlarge.

      Crepuscular Rays

      The rays appear to diverge, but this is an illusion of perspective: they are actually parallel. The cause of crepuscular rays in this case is a combination of the sun rising over distant mountains, water vapor in the air independent of the clouds, and the clouds themselves. Click to enlarge.

      Sun Pillar Over Virginia

      Meteor and Star Trails

      A meteor can create bright displays visible from miles around through the energy released as it slams into Earth's atmosphere. Joe Klein, a professional photographer and amateur astrophotographer, took this picture in September 2001, from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, outside of San Diego. Click to enlarge.
