Auroras are considered to be one of the most beautiful wonders of nature.
It is listed as one in the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

An Aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by the Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere.

These are some pictures of Auroras.

•  Aurorae occur on other planets. Similar to the Earth’s aurora, they are visible close to the planet’s magnetic poles.
• Auroras are result from emissions of photons in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, above 80 km (50 mi), from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron, and oxygen and nitrogen atoms returning from an excited state to ground state.

Your heartbeat changes with the music you listen to!

Music can be so powerful it can affect your mood, brainwaves, and even your heartbeat! It turns out that when we listen to music our body reacts to the sounds we hear. If a person listens to rock or techno, their heartbeat will involuntarily speed up. The opposite is true if someone listens to more calming or instrumental music. Music is so influential it can alter your heartbeat, pulse rate, blood pressure, decrease your muscle tension, and even affect your body movement and coordination!

Few days back, ultra-patriotic Indian facebook users were circulating another “pre-1947″ photo of two Indian freedom fighters being hanged in public by British police. The photo originally was of two african american person being lynched by a white racist mob (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ThomasShippAbramSmith.jpg)

The only linking factors for this unexplained event is that dogs mostly jump from the same side of the bridge, in clear weather, and they are breeds with long snouts.
