GEMINI [May 21–June 20] "Here's what I did not do this summer," begins the testimony of Beth Hylton. "Not once did I swing on a tire swing over the river, watching the pink shimmery reflection of myself in a wetsuit on a tire swing. I did not take a day off work to sneak out alone to Jones Beach with a book and a beer in a ginger ale bottle. I did not eat outside at a red-checkered-tablecloth-and-too-much-cheese-on-the-pasta Italian restaurant. I did not catch fireflies for the satisfaction of setting them free, and I did not nap in the noontime sun. Where are all the 'I dids'?" I'm happy to inform Beth, as well as any of her fellow Geminis who might have been remiss in doing the kinds of activities she named, that the next three weeks will be a very favorable period to make up for lost time.

Earth-sized planets are just right for life
THE discovery of extrasolar super-Earths - rocky planets about five to ten times the mass of Earth - has raised hopes that some may harbour life. Perhaps it's a vain hope though, since it now seems that Earth is just the right size to sustain life....
Rain of meteorites makes the moon hum
THE man in the moon is humming a tune, but thankfully the noise won't drown out sensors on future missions peeking at the lunar interior.
A steady barrage of small meteorite impacts should cause the moon to "ring", but no seismometers sent to the moon to date have been sensitive enough to hear it. So Philippe Lognonné at the Institute of Earth Physics of Paris and colleagues decided to work out how loud the ring is....

Justice - Stress
don't know what to think about this, just know that it's irritating and provoking on a lot of levels... and somehow pretty cool?
Directed by Romain Gavras.

Solitary Delights
Tachibana Akemi
What a delight it is
When on the bamboo matting
In my grass-thatched hut,
All on my own, I make myself at ease.
What a delight it is
When, borrowing
Rare writings from a friend,
I open out
The first sheet.
What a delight it is
When, spreading paper
I take my brush
And find my hand
Better than I thought.
What a delight it is
When, after a hundred days
Of racking my brains,
That verse that wouldn't come
Suddenly turns out well.
What a delight it is
When, of a morning,
I get up and go out
To find in full bloom a flower
That yesterday was not there.
What a delight it is
When, skimming through the pages
Of a book, I discover
A man written of there
Who is just like me.
What a delight it is
When I blow away the ash,
To watch the crimson
Of the glowing fire
And hear the water boil.
What a delight it is
When a guest you cannot stand
Arrives, then says to you
"I'm afraid I can't stay long",
And soon goes home.
