New results from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft show that small meteoroids are breaking into streams of rubble and crashing into Saturn’s rings. Saturn’s rings are the only place besides Earth, the moon, and Jupiter where researchers along with amateur astronomers have been able to observe impacts as they happen, as this new observations show. By studying the impact rate of meteoroids from outside the Saturn’s system scientists can better understand how different planet systems in the Solar System formed. There are a lot of small, speeding objects in our Solar System. Planetary bodies are very often pummeled by them. The meteoroids...

Two very strong planetary alignments (Mars-Earth-Sun-Saturn), supported by (Mercury-Venus-Jupiter) fall during this time-frame with an added influence involving the Asteroid Ceres and astrological aspects involving Pluto indicate a potential for a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on either one of these forecasted days. This is my own analysis using heliocentric imagery, geocentric portrait and harmonic translations to predict possible effects here on Earth. I am using astrological aspects in this forecast in-conjunction with lunar modulations.   Targeting a large Coronal Hole (CH566) in Northern Hemisphere of the solar corona: after further analysis I have isolated an area (16-24°N latitude) this Coronal Hole...Two very strong planetary alignments (Mars-Earth-Sun-Saturn), supported by (Mercury-Venus-Jupiter) fall during this time-frame with an added influence involving the Asteroid Ceres and astrological aspects involving Pluto indicate a potential for a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on either one of these forecasted days.

Flooding became a major, life-threatening concern on Saturday night after inches of rain fell in the Houston, Texas area. According to The Weather Channel's Severe Weather Expert, Dr. Greg Forbes, rainfall totals of more than a half-foot were reported, including one report of 7.24 inches in Sugar Land-Meadows Place.

A spokesperson with the Houston Fire Department confirmed that at least 17 water rescues were ongoing late Saturday evening, and to this point, no injuries or deaths have been reported.

If you have any interest in astronomy you have probably seen dozens if not hundreds of breathtaking images of the universe and our Solar System. Those images are usually acquired by some of Earth’s best spacecrafts, like Hubble, Cassini, Messenger and others who beam back gigabytes of jaw dropping images every year. After seeing many of these amazing photos some people start to feel a bit indifferent. Well, at the end of this April Saturn will put on a display that might just bring their enthusiasm back. And no space probe is required to see it, just set up a...
