Moving Out!!
All of you might have heard by now that Voyager 1 has left the heliosphere or our solar system into the interstellar space (http://io9.com/a-map-of-our-solar-system-that-puts-it-into-proper-pers-1306914132). You can check the current location of voyager 1 here:
http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/where/
According to data it is about 17 light hours away. I think this was a perfect analogy of a teenager moving out of parent's house into the college.
In voyager 1's case it is going to be a 30000 year long college in dorm with the Oort Cloud.
It's been hearing interesting interstellar noise (http://io9.com/the-sound-of-interstellar-space-is-actually-kind-of-ter-1302701737)

Kepler's New Mission
It seems NASA's Kepler mission is sadly coming to an end due to an
onboard failure. However it is still operational for non-precision work.
NASA's exploring additional ideas for it.

Meanwhile Galactus gets hold of the Kepler spacecraft, and molds it to do his bidding. The planet hunter has been programmed to be the planet eater's minion. All worlds tremble!!

SuperMoon
SuperMoon is out and about doing the mischief. One person is little
panicked on seeing the tide rise by an inch. Man of Steel is not amused
on having his thunder and his adjective stolen. Wise old sun is silently
snoozing behind
