Flying Penguins Documentary
This is a great video from BBC. It’s a documentary on flying penguins
Ok, ok. It’s an April Fools joke from BBC. 
Birds of Paradise
This is a neat looking bird. I’ve never seen one before. This just shows how amazing nature and planet earth can be.
Check his mating dance and how he impresses the girls. Unfortunately this little bird’s confidence got shot down in the end….
Mars’ south pole ice found to be deep and wide
Just more proof that there was once life on Mars…
New measurements of Mars’ south polar region indicate extensive frozen water. The polar region contains enough frozen water to cover the whole planet in a liquid layer approximately 11 meters (36 feet) deep. A joint NASA-Italian Space Agency instrument on the European Space Agency’s Mars Express spacecraft provided these data.
This new estimate comes from mapping the thickness of the ice. The Mars Express orbiter’s radar instrument has made more than 300 virtual slices through layered deposits covering the pole to map the ice. The radar sees through icy layers to the lower boundary, which is as deep as 3.7 kilometers (2.3 miles) below the surface.
“The south polar layered deposits of Mars cover an area bigger than Texas. The amount of water they contain has been estimated before, but never with the level of confidence this radar makes possible,” said Jeffrey Plaut of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena Calif. Plaut is co-principal investigator for the radar and lead author of a new report on these findings published in the March 15 online edition of the journal Science.
Total Eclipse of the Moon Comes Saturday
LONDON — The moon will turn shades of amber and crimson Saturday night as it passes behind the Earth’s shadow _ the first total lunar eclipse in three years.
The eclipse will be at least partly visible from Asia to the Americas, although residents of Europe, Africa and the Middle East will have the best view.
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun’s light. The event is rare because the moon spends most of its time either above or below the plane of Earth’s orbit.
Although it will pass completely under Earth’s shadow, light from the sun will still reach the moon after being refracted through Earth’s atmosphere, giving the moon an eerie dark reddish tinge.
“It’s not an event that has any scientific value, but it’s something everybody can enjoy,” said Robert Massey of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Earth’s shadow will begin moving across the Moon at 2018GMT Saturday, with the total eclipse occurring at 2244GMT and lasting over an hour.
