"Better than Average" day job

Look closely and ye shall see thy astronaut hooked to the giant deflector. Spending weeks and in some cases months inside the space station only to be suspended above the earth's atmosphere while you complete repairs. Maybe Hollywood thinks they're cool, but really- what could be more breathtaking than hanging here! That glow in the background is actually Earth's atmosphere.

Power of the sun

One of NASA's STEREO spacecraft observes two active regions on the sun's disk in extreme ultraviolet light. Such regions, visible as bright spots at upper left, can send out violent storms of charged particles in bursts. The radiation then travels all 93,000,000 miles to us dissapating at the atmosphere. Maybe we should top putting holes in the sky afterall :)
C'mon, Americans dont REALLY need those giant cars.
