"The Big Sleep Survey 2010 is a real citizen science research project. Australian sleep scientists want to find out how much sleep we're getting, whether mobiles and laptops in the bedroom are affecting our sleep, and how many of us experience parasomnias, such as sleep walking! The scientists need as many people as possible to volunteer to do the Big Sleep Survey this August. "

Intersting research project you can participate in.

"A Jupiter-like world orbiting a star 150 light-years away has searing temperatures and winds blasting at speeds up to 10,000 kilometres per hour, according to astronomers. The storm stems from the planet's blindingly close and rotationally synched orbit around its parent star."

Amazing to think of a storm, even on this distant star! All those currents, all those clouds, wow!
