I was sworn at yesterday. No wait, I was sworn in. It was nice -- a little pomp and circumstance-y, but who doesn't like a little pomp and circumstance now and again? I like my job.

When we are merely content with external purity we...

But Google Earth is also perfect for touring the holy sites of the other big science, astronomy, whether you want to check out the world's biggest telescopes or explore the stars. First stop: in the "Fly To" bar, type in "Very Large Array."...

Shortly after the planets inside our own solar system were formed, they began wobbling about, and roaming around, far from being caught in the well-defined orbits we see today. This chaotic motion is mainly responsible for the formation of the Moon, after Earth collided with a Mars-sized object that was circling the Sun on about the same orbit. These chaotic times have been history for billions of...

If you are staying up or getting up to watch the 2009 Leonid Meteors , you might take some time and enjoy some other sights the universe has to offer while you are out under a dark sky.
