Earth heading for 'mini ice age' in just 15 years, scientists say
Earth is 15 years from a “mini ice age” that will cause bitterly cold winters during which rivers freeze over, scientists have predicted. Solar researchers at the University of Northumbria have created a new model of the sun’s activity which they claim produces “unprecedentedly accurate predictions”.

THE FARSIDE OF PLUTO
Of particular interest on the farside are four dark spots connected to a dark belt that circles Pluto's equatorial region. What continues to pique the interest of scientists is their similar size and even spacing. "It's weird that they're spaced so regularly," says New Horizons program scientist Curt Niebur at NASA

Rule of law in China, a country which locks up its lawyers
Dozens of Chinese lawyers have been detained or interrogated over recent days in what seems to be a co-ordinated roundup.

New Pluto photo shows hints of surface geology
Among the structures tentatively identified in this new image are what appear to be polygonal features, a complex band of terrain stretching east-northeast across the planet, approximately 1,000 miles long and a complex region where bright terrains meet the dark terrains of the whale," principal investigator Alan Stern said in a NASA web post. "After nine-and-a-half years in flight, Pluto is well worth the wait."

Shmitah and the Messiah: Could This Be the Year Before His Arrival?

This requires a bit of explanation.
