Six Great Space Stories
Two Suns over China
Recently, two suns were recorded over China. There is a scientific reason for this phenomenon, but it is a rare occurrence. It makes me think of living in a far off galaxy with Luke Skywalker. Click here to read the entire story and see an image.
Virgin Galactic
Virgin Galactic is taking reservations for private space flights. It will cost you $200,000 to reserve a spot, but it should get cheaper over time. Click here to read more, or click here to book a trip.

British Government Releases UFO Files

The Google Lunar X Prize
The X Prize Foundation and Google are sponsoring $30 million in prizes will be awarded to multiple teams. These teams must land a robot safely on the moon's surface, have the robot travel 500 meters, and finally send images and data back to earth. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Click hear to read more about the teams competing for the prizes.
Giant Solar Flares
The one of the largest solar flares in recent history erupted not long ago, but it was hardly noticeable. If things do not line up with the Sun and Earth next time, it could be a problem in the near future. The Sun is getting more active, which could influence human civilization negatively.
