Great Fireball - Noctilucent Clouds
A remarkable midnight fireball that “turned night into day” over parts of the western United States last night was not a Leonid. Infrasound measurements suggest a sporadic asteroid not associated with the Leonid debris stream. The space rock exploded in the atmosphere with an energy equivalent to 0.5 - 1 kilotons of TNT. Approximately 6 hours later, observers in Utah and Colorado witnessed a twisting iridescent-blue cloud in the dawn sky. Debris from the fireball should have dissipated by that time, but the cloud remains unexplained; we cannot yet rule out a connection to the fireball event. videos: #1, #2, #3. (via SpaceWeather)
synmirror: A few years back we had a snow fight late at night after the movies when a fireball lit up everything in a greenish light for a second, it was pretty amazing.

Cave Porn
Pretty spectacular, right? Now you've got a solid benchmark for the fact that the Crystal Caves of Naica make that other cave slink away in shame and cry lonely tears of ugliness into it's gin. Because they are, quite literally, a sight to die for.
The reporting is a bit overly dramatic but it's a good introduction. Here's a charming more personal approach to the caves:
And now go visit the photo gallery over at their site. It looks like it's not even on this planet.

In January 2007, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught.
