Many scientists believe Mars used to be a much nicer place to live, with a cloudy, Earth-like atmosphere and flowing water. At some point, Mars lost most of that atmosphere and its protective effects. NASA’s MAVEN probe is designed to figure out why.
For $185, today’s side deal nets semi-private kiteboarding lesson for two (a $370 value) at Kite Club Hatteras, with locations in Avon, NC and Dewey Beach, DE
In one safe, three-hour lesson, Kite Club Hatteras’s friendly, expert instructor will guide riders through the basics of kiteboarding — an extreme water sport that pairs a small board with a large controllable kite to thrust riders across the water’s surface and into the air—in the beautiful Dewey Beach Area, which was awarded SUPERSTAR BEACH STATUS in June 2011.
In a thorough, hands-on class, riders will learn how to set up a four-line inflatable kite, the essentials of kite theory and the “wind window,” and proper procedures for selecting a weather-friendly location and communicating with fellow aeronauts. You’ll then soak in the dashing techniques necessary to perform, learning how to launch and land, fly the kite properly, and generate power to propel the board.
Soon, fusing careful movements with the power of bluster, you’ll defy earthbound physics to swish, cut, and fly above the water. Call to schedule your class.

The biggest full moon of the year, a so-called “supermoon,” will take center stage when it rises this weekend, and may interfere with the peak of an annual meteor shower created by the leftovers from Halley’s comet.
The supermoon of 2012 is the biggest full moon of the yearand will occur on Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT (0335 May 6), though the moon may still appear full to skywatchers on the day before and after the actual event. At the same time, the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower will be hitting its peak, NASA scientists say.
“Its light will wash out the fainter Eta Aquarid meteors,” NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke of the Marshall Space Flight Center told SPACE.com in an email. Still, Cooke said there’s a chance that the brightest fireballs from the meteor display may still be visible.
