Reel NASA sez:

Expedition 30 astronaut Dr Don Pettit uses knitting needles and water droplets to demonstrate physics in space through ‘Science off the Sphere.’ This is part of the first video in a series for a partnership between NASA and the American Physical Society to share unique videos from the International Space Station with students, educators and science fans from around the world.

More offworld practical physics: Dr Don’s Saturday Morning Science experiments.

The dog who was thrown over a wall on one of the very cold nights.

This is him NOW:

And with large new pal Lexi.

Miriam Kerins at the DSPCA sez:

When our inspectors rescued Maurice he was largely unresponsive, was suffering from hypothermia and our veterinary team didn’t think he’d make it.  But he’s a little fighter and even though he is doing really well, we are taking it each day at a time.

Lexi is also a rescue dog but has been adopted by Colleen who runs our coffee shop. Lexi visits Maurice every day because she wants to mother him.
