Job opportunities for people with CouchDB skills

Time to relax! Something like a phenomena edition

  • “Summer is usually one of the most anticipated seasons of the year. After all, there is no better time to enjoy the outdoors and the sunshine. But summer also brings about a number of changes to our planet, from warming temperatures to dangerous thunderstorms to fireflies that flash in unison.” – These 10 natural phenomena happen every summer on our planet
  • “Over the weekend that just passed, US astronomers observed medium intensity solar eruptions on the sun, according to Descopera and the Dailymail. However, the phenomena investigated by the specialists from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory are the most spectacular events of this type discovered this year. The events were classified as the most intense solar eruptions.” – Spectacular phenomena on the surface of the sun.
  • “It’s easy to get lost in cars and offices and grocery stores and forget that there’s a bigger, more beautiful world we don’t always get to see. But there’s stunning stuff happening every day, in some cases right outside your door. So let’s take a whirl through some of the most incredible, sometimes mind-boggling phenomena the Earth has to offer — along with a little of the science behind them.” – 25 of the coolest and most surreal natural phenomena on Earth
  • “Even some of the more mysterious phenomena have underlying explanations that are well-understood. We don’t know how there got to be more matter than antimatter in the Universe, but we know that the conditions we need for it — baryon number violation, out of equilibrium conditions and C and CP-violation — all exist. We don’t know what the nature of dark matter is, but its generic properties, where it’s located and how it clumps together is well-understood.” – Could Dark Energy Be Caused By A Reaction To What’s In The Universe?
  • “The phenomenon is known as the Aurora Borealis in the Northern Hemisphere and Aurora Australis in the Southern Hemisphere. The new timelapse footage also prompted fellow astronaut Scott Kelly — who spent a year in space aboard the ISS — to share his own memories overnight on Twitter of the aurora lights from space.” – Aurora lights captured in International Space Station timelapse
