Contributions from the Antagonist: Large Hadron Collider

Hello, Mr. Woodhall!Long time no chat, obviously because I'm no longer living in the country. I'm still very interested in science, I'm currently taking environmental science, and have actually straightened up and gotten my act together. (Meaning I actually do work) but I have some new stuff for you to look at, if you don't mind my continual contributions. You had to have heard of the Hadron Collider by now, and I do hope you know that they just flicked the switch a few days ago. Here's an article.

Science: Limited Water and Air

This is an image found on BoingBoing.com. The two spheres superimposed on the earth images are comparisons of water quantity (on left) and air quantity (on right) with the earth itself. The comparison is made to deomstrate the limited amount of air and water our planet actually has to sustain life.

Science: Space Above and Beyond

In early June the spaceshuttle was launched to rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS). The crew of the space shuttle were to deliver valuable cargo, some of which included parts to fix the toilet, Buzz Lightyear, one of Lance Armstrong's yellow jerseys, and bagels. One of the fortunate by-products from this mission were the images captured. How many of these cloud types can you name?
