Equinox + 1 Credit & Copyright: Joe Orman - Explanation: Twice a year, at the Spring and Fall equinox, the Sun rises due east. In an emphatic demonstration of this celestial alignment, photographer Joe Orman recorded this inspiring image of the Sun rising exactly along the east-west oriented Western Canal, in Tempe, Arizona, USA. But he waited until March 21st, one day after the equinox, to photograph the striking view. Why was the rising Sun due east one day after the equinox? At Tempe's latitude the Sun rises at an angle, arcing southward as it climbs above the horizon. Because the distant mountains hide the true horizon, the Sun shifts slightly southward by the time it clears the mountain tops. Waiting 24 hours allowed the Sun to rise just north of east and arc back to an exactly eastern alignment for the photo. Orman also notes that this picture carries a special significance as we experience the maximum of the solar activity cycle. The electricity and telephone transmission lines along the canal symbolize power and communications grids which are most vulnerable to outbursts from the active Sun.

Aurora Alaskan Style Credit & Copyright: Jan Curtis (U. Alaska), ACRC - Explanation: Have you checked the space weather report lately? With a coronal mass ejection (CME) headed our way and an immense sunspot group tracking across the solar photosphere, skygazers should be on the alert. The interaction of clouds of energetic particles from the active Sun with planet Earth's magnetosphere often produces significant geomagnetic storms and auroral displays. In fact, just days ago on March 24, photographer Jan Curtis pointed his camera straight up to captured this awesome auroral curtain towering in clear and very cold (-25F) skies over Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. Now, forecasts indicate that a recent Earth-directed CME may also trigger moderate geomagnetic storms over the next few days. Night sky aurora, possibly extending to middle latitudes, would be most likely on March 30-31. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff (MTU) & Jerry Bonnell (USRA) NASA Technical Rep.: Jay Norris.

360 Degree Tour of The Leaning Tower of Pisa - Field of miracles It's not unusual to experience a sense of vertigo when standing on Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles). The dominant feature of this grassy plaza-the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa-tilts nearly 17 feet from the perpendicular.Gravitational oddities aside, the tower and gleaming marble buildings you see nearby comprise one of the most impressive architectural ensembles in Europe.Expedia.

360 Degree Tour of Süleymaniye Mosque Istanbul, Turkey - You are standing under the enormous dome of Istanbul's Süleymaniye Mosque. Worshipers kneel quietly, prostrating themselves toward Mecca; aged caretakers polish priceless tilework; Islamic scholars discuss the Qur'an beneath stained glass windows; even the casual visitor pauses, awestruck by the beauty of this magnificent structure. Nowhere else is the grandeur and piety of the Ottoman Empire so eloquently expressed. Expedia.

360 Degree Tour Of Colossal ruin You are standing inside the Colosseum, the enormous arena that served as ancient Rome's entertainment ground zero. Emperors and peasants alike crowded the tiered arcades to watch and cheer the bloody gladiatorial battles that took place here, beginning with its 100-day inauguration in AD 80. Today its mighty walls lie crumbled and quiet, while traffic circles noisily outside.

360 Degree Tour Of Stonehenge - Circle of stones Even in the middle of an English summer, a stiff wind blows across the treeless heights of Salisbury Plain, where you now stand. While contemplating the sculptural majesty of Stonehenge, your mind is crowded with questions. Who built this 5,000-year-old Neolithic monument, and why? How did they bring such massive stones to this site? - Expedia.
