Mercury and Regulus

Pull out your binoculars and make sure you have a clear western horizon after sunset the next few nights. You’ll need them to see an amazing close encounter between the planet Mercury and the star Regulus, the heart of the lion. This evening, they’ll pass just one-tenth of a degree from each other — less than the width of a pencil held at arm’s length.

Singing a New Tune

If you move to a new part of the country, you’ll eventually start to sound a bit like the natives. Your accent might shift a little, and you’ll pick up the local dialect — the language and speech patterns that define that area.

The Edison Tone Tests

The opera house lights dim, the capacity crowd hushes…Then a voice, a high, bright soprano…yes, there it is…fills the air.
