The Warming of the Solar System
I have heard of this and have on occasion mentioned this to friends, who then give me strange looks for thinking this. But I was glad to see on Dig, this story: Is The Sun Getting Warmer? An interesting side question to "Global Warming" - that I never hear in the major media outlets or activist groups - is that for the last few years Astronomers have noted an increase in the temperature across the entire solar system. Don't get me wrong I think that we should deal with pollution and energy problems with green solution where ever possible. But it does bother me that most people only think in terms of humans causing of global warming or the head in the sand Republicans who say that they need more to even believe that it is happening at all (see Bush & Company).

Milky Seas
Yet another mariners tale has been confirmed by science. In this case strange glowing milky seas that were viewed as fair tales for centuries.
For centuries, mariners have returned home with surreal tales of "milky seas": expanses of seawater filled with bioluminescent bacteria that glow an eerie white. Little is known about these elusive sea conditions... images collected location by the U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program included first-ever photos of a milky sea, a Connecticut-size area of the glowing water. Read More...Personally I just think that this is Cool. Makes you wonder what else we thought was a wise tale is really fact.

MARS
Mars is becoming a very interesting place now, with possible life and evidence of frozen seas of water below the surface.
The BBC is also reporting that this image is evidence that below the surface is pack-ice. With only a light coating of dust a few inches thick is all that is needed to prevent the thin atmosphere from evaporating of this water.
