    I didn't RTFA because its from the BBC but I am pretty sure they are blaming extreme weather on other planets in the solar system on our excessive high levels of carbon dioxides. The article was only written to make us feel guilty and inhumane for turning on a light to read by at night for all the hell it generates across our solar system.

    I haven't thought of anything clever to put here, but then again most of you haven't either.
  3. This is great by bugs2squash · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All the BBC did was re-post some NASA images that won't be news to many here, but even this simple act was enough to make me think about aurora on other planets, what the difference between a star and a planet really is and gives me some idea of the scale of the features by comparing them to the size of the earth. That's pretty good for such a simple sequence of photos. Giving me reason to think about things outside the day-to-day routine like this is just what I want out of slashdot. Thanks.
