March 18, 1987: Woodstock for Physicists
1987: Thousands of physicists crowd a ballroom at the New York Hilton for a hastily arranged marathon session on high-temperature superconductivity. The event generates so much excitement that it is later referred to as the “Woodstock of Physics.”
A stunning view of the shimmering northern lights was captured by the Expedition 30 crew as the International Space Station passed from over Wisconsin to southeastern Quebec on Jan. 25, 2012.
The video (at the link) shows about five minutes of real time compressed into 30 seconds through the magic of time-lapse photography.

The Milky Way and the setting moon shine together in the night sky over La Palma, part of the Spanish Canary Islands, in a newly released picture taken last August.
The stitched panorama also shows the golden glow of city lights as well as the silhouette of Italy’s Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, one of many observatories perched on La Palma’s volcanic peaks. (Watch a time-lapse of the night sky shot from La Palma.)
