I'm returning to groginess. Think there was another Boötes supernova article somewhere on my BlueDot bookmarks (Sigh)

Last Wednesday morning at around 2:12am, a huge explosion took place in space that was so bright, it could be seen here on Earth with the naked eye. The explosion was a gamma-ray burst, which occurs when huge stars run out of their precious nuclear fuel. The stars then collapse into black holes or neutron stars and release a huge burst of gamma-rays and other particles. This particular energy burst took place about 7.5 BILLION light years from Earth. 7.5 BILLION years, kids...that means the explosion actually occurred before Earth was even formed and its light finally reached us last Wednesday. Talk about peering into the past! The gamma-ray burst, named GRB 080319B, was detected by NASA's Swift satellite; its associated star was placed in the constellation Bootes (pronounced BO-OH-TEEZ, not BOOTIES, LOL). Interestingly enough, the burst was detected along with five other ones, on the same day that Arthur C. Clarke passed away.

Keep your eyes to the sky and enjoy the view!

I, of course, missed it, altho using candles somehow doubly missed the point (CO₂and using light).

Quoted: CHICAGO (March 29) - From the Sydney Opera House to Rome's Colosseum to the Sears Tower's famous antennas in Chicago, floodlit icons of civilization went dark Saturday for Earth Hour, a worldwide campaign to highlight the threat of climate change.

Lots of links, maybe to pretty pictures

Left a small ball against the earth showing respective volumes of air. On the right, the tiny ball is the water vis-a-vis the size of the earth.
I've heard that the thinness of the atmosphere is similar to the thin veneer of paint on a globe model of the earth.
