On this day,May 29 2004, I was out near Missouri and caught two tornadoes on video including the big Dearborn tornado that had fatalities. I don't know of anyone else who caught this tornado on video except myself and channel 9 KCMO TV Johnny Rowlins.
Here is more about George's chase that day on May 29 2004,

the green flash
Spaceweather.com is an interesting site.
It has a lot of pictures and informatio which you can see everyday.
There are archives of the recent Comet McNaught photos (although I don't understand why some of the pictures get chosen), weather and much more.
Sometimes there are weather related phenomenon like the
green flash
which I have never been able to catch.
anyone ever seen a green flash? I tried in South Africa and other places.
goto spaceweather.com
look around and then find the archives
look for the following date below to see this information (then after look around for dates and photos and more in the past)

TRIPLE GREEN FLASH: "It was the biggest green flash I've ever seen," says Mila Zinkova of San Francisco who took this picture of the setting sun on Dec. 29Make that three green flashes: "I think we have here three separate flashes that happened to be visible together," says green flash specialist Andy Young. Ordinary green flashes rely on a mirage to magnify tiny differences in the atmospheric refraction of red and green light. In this case, temperature gradients above the water produced a complex mirage and, not one, but three flashes. "Very interesting!"

Mars cave entrances and possible life in frozen seas
'Cave entrances' spotted on Mars
Nasa release on the topography of the south polar region of Mars
Nasa's Odyssey spacecraft is beginning to find some possible reasons to think there may be more opportunities for life on Mars now or in the past.
spacecraft have spotted what they think may be seven caves on the surface of Mars.

Frozen sea may harbour Mars life
Elysium's frozen sea may be one of the best places to look for life
A frozen sea found on Mars is one of the most promising places to look for life on the Red Planet, scientists say.
