Something for the Weekend

Thing one is a nice infographic (oh how I love these things) which shows the many various sciences and the links between them. It shows off nicely that no science exists in isolation and that they feed off advances in each other.

BTW click to enlarge.


Thing two is something to look out for tonight ie. the 29th/30th Jan. There is going to be the largest full moon of 2010 as our satellite will be at its closest and will be about 12% bigger than average.

Here is the link to Astronomy.com all about it http://www.astronomy.com/asy/d

Finally, although I didn't see it myself I understand a strange thing happened to the moon last night too, it got a halo/pillar. This link gives more info on something which is pretty rare, so kudos to anyone who was lucky enough to see it.
