Continental Drift
Did you know...that the North and South American Continents are moving westward in a collision course with Asia? While Africa is currently colliding with Eurasia, as we read? Check this out Continental Drift:
We moving at the hyper speed of (.8 inches) a year! So, in 50 years we will have floated toward Asia 40 inches or just over 3 feet! In the span of centuries (100 years = just over 6 feet!), that is significant. I had no idea that one day, there will be new mountains, oceans, and volcanos form as a result of the collisions!

Meteorite Hits The Moon!
On June 13, 2006 a meteorite crashed into the Moon! While this happens all the time because the Moon has no atmosphere to protect it, I think it's pretty cool.
It was estimated at 10 inches in diameter and was going an estimated 85,000 an hour! Are you kidding me? So thankful we have the atmosphere to protect and provide for us. God knows what he doing.

In Honor of Nick Adenhart
Nick Adenhart, a pitcher for the Anaheim Angels, was killed in an accident earlier this season.
He pitched a 6 inning gem as a 22-year old rookie and then died that night going home from the stadium. The Angels dedicated their season to him, by wearing his number on their unis and by keeping his locker untouched all season. They won their division and now take on the Red Sox in a great opening series match-up.
I'm rooting for the Angels as they remember their fallen one.
