Hogwarts Express At #Universal #Orlando

Way to go, Dad! You made your little boy's day! "Best birthday cake ever? One dad made his son an Optimus Prime cake in Vehicle Mode—and it actually transforms and talks!"

Lake O'Hara has always felt like a page from a kids’ storybook to me. The fairytale feel was amazing that August night, with fresh snow blanketing the peaks, a touch of moonlight, a myriad of stars above and one lone cabin still lit up beneath it all. A probable “keeper” from recent shoots for Lake O'Hara Lodge. Goodnight all from Yoho National Park!

Ask Ethan #110: What did the sky look like when Earth first formed?

“In general, what would the night time skies have looked like to an observer on a newly cooling Earth 4 billion years ago? Would the night sky be the same? Brighter?”

The night sky is a memorable, inimitable sight. With the exception of the planets, the stars that shine so brightly and consistently on your birthday will be the same ones — in both position and brightness — that shine on your dying day. But as recognizable as the stars and constellations are, the skies we recognize would have nothing in common with the skies as they were back when Earth first formed more than four billion years ago. With natural light pollution from volcanism and heat, a location inside a star cluster and the evolution of our local Universe, there are some huge differences that would make for some big surprises.
