I just always lived in stories in my head. I believed I was a Martian princess until I was 10. I believed I was never going to die, and I'd been adopted and put on Earth because there was a war... and still sometimes, as I get older, I hope for my immortal life on Mars. Sarah Pinborough

Life War Hope Sometimes Older Earth Immortal Mars Martian Adopted Never Put Head Princess Until Because Always Still Been Get Die Going Just Stories Lived Believed

The connection of what I do to flamenco lies in the whole lament, whole cry, whole pouring back into the earth and giving energy back to the earth. It's a cry and a celebration. That's what music, sound, vibration should do. It should spark energy in someone. Savion Glover

I wish we could have state-of-the-art hospitals in every corner of the earth... but realistically, it's going to be a while before that can happen. But we can immunise every kid on earth, and we can prevent these diseases. It's only a matter of political will, a little bit of money and some systems to do it. Seth Berkley

Money Political Matter Will Wish Before Every Corner Earth Bit Kid Systems Some Only Prevent Could Hospitals Diseases Going Happen While Realistically Little Little Bit

I have never seen a more hopeful, optimistic, and excited place on earth than Iraq in the spring of 2003. The oppressed people of a regime we toppled shared America's dream of freedom, and opportunity called them to a future brighter than they had ever known. Seth Moulton

If you could drive straight down, into a tunnel bored through the crust of the planet, you'd hit this molten mess in about an hour. It's called the asthenosphere - a sluggish sea, several hundred miles thick, on which floats the Earth's cool epidermis - the so-called tectonic plates. Seth Shostak

You Drive Down Hundred Earth Several Bored Sluggish About About An Hour Could Through Crust Hour Mess Hit So-Called Tunnel Which Straight Planet Miles Sea Cool Plates Floats Thick

The Moon is a ball of left-over debris from a cosmic collision that took place more than four billion years ago. A Mars-sized asteroid - one of the countless planetesimals that were frantically churning our solar system into existence - hit the infant Earth, bequeathing it a very large natural satellite. Seth Shostak

Natural Solar Moon Took Asteroid Our Solar System Earth Churning System Cosmic Collision More Countless Ball Were Years Years Ago Existence Infant Debris Very Hit Than Place Billion Large Satellite Four

On Mars, where the air is spare - a hundred times less dense than on Earth - someone could hear you scream. But you'd have to really strain to get anyone's attention. On the Red Planet, where the wind is high-pitched and faint, even a symphony orchestra will sound as thin as cheap gruel. Seth Shostak

You Will Wind Symphony Symphony Orchestra Air Hundred Hundred Times Earth Mars Someone Could Cheap Attention Red Faint Sound Hear Dense Times Than Get Orchestra Scream Where Anyone Spare Strain Planet Really Less Even Thin

You may not see massive UFO exhibits at your local science museum, but there's no dearth of saucer stories infesting my email.

As far as I can tell, the only unambiguous consequence of the claimed invasion of Earth by beings from another star system has been a nonstop torrent of TV specials. So if you're one of the many who believe the aliens are here, you really do have to admit this: They're the best houseguests ever. Seth Shostak

The Earth has been lawned with life for something over 3.5 billion years. That's a span of time great enough to encompass some honest-to-goodness catastrophe. For example, 700 million years ago, Earth underwent a planet-wide deep freeze, with ice covering the oceans from the poles to the equator. Seth Shostak

Life Time Great Example Enough Earth Has-Been Some Something Catastrophe Over Poles For Example Freeze Oceans Encompass Underwent Been Years Covering Years Ago Ice Span Billion Deep Million Million Years

Today's voguish threats, including climate change, population growth, massive war, and resource depletion, are all amenable to a fix if we act prudently. And even if we don't, these problems are incapable of obliterating all of humanity, let alone destroying the Earth. No, the real End of Days will happen slowly, as the Sun ages. Seth Shostak

Today War Alone Change Humanity Problems Will Resource Earth Sun Destroying Threats Slowly Days Massive Climate Climate Change Real End Amenable Fix Happen Ages Incapable Act Even Including Population Population Growth Growth

Thanks to the fact that the Earth isn't a perfect sphere, and invoking a bunch of Newtonian physics, you can deduce that our planet wobbles, too, taking roughly 26,000 years to trace out a small circle on the sky, a phenomenon known as precession. Seth Shostak
