Asteroids!
Beautiful visualization of asteroid discoveries in the past 30 years. Watch the video and be amazed that we haven't had to send Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck into space yet.

Exposure and Mutation Rate
No commentary from me, just a fascinating set of figures from new research that has successfully mapped the cancer genomes for skin and lung cancers:
"Scientists found the DNA code for a skin cancer called melanoma contained more than 30,000 errors almost entirely caused by too much sun exposure. The lung cancer DNA code had more than 23,000 errors largely triggered by cigarette smoke exposure. From this, the experts estimate a typical smoker acquires one new mutation for every 15 cigarettes they smoke. Most of the time the mutations will land in innocent parts of the genome, but some will hit the right targets for cancer."
How's that for a deterrent?
