NASA sent mice into space and the results are unintentionally hilarious.

A wonderful satellite photo taken over Alaska illustrates well two geological phenomena, rock flour and Katabatic winds. The former is the finely ground mulch left behind by melting glaciers that colours glacial lakes blue (seen in the photo where the river estuaries meet the sea and the flour diffuses)and braided streams running out of the melt front an ashy grey brown. It is a very light powder consisting of tiny rock particles, the final product of the grinding and scouring of the Earth’s surface by many tons of ice. The dust plume in the image is made of this flour, carried by a particular kind of wind that blows off the world’s high places, including plateaus, mountain chains and ice sheets.

NGC 4526 Galaxy and Supernova 1994D

Supernovae are extremely luminous and cause a burst of radiation that often briefly outshines an entire galaxy, before fading from view over several weeks or months. During this short interval a supernova can radiate as much energy as the Sun is expected to emit over its entire life span.
