...Sydney's opening ceremony of 7,000 performers, Aboriginal rockers and fireworks artists from five continents became the most watched TV program in Aussie history - but the Athens Games are stressing the video image as never before. With less than a month before the Games begin, the Athens heat and terrorism jitters have conspired to leave ticket sales well behind schedule. Just 2 million have been sold so far out of a total of 5.3 million; that's only 34%. By contrast, at the same stage in the run-up to the Sydney Games in 2000, organizers had sold...
...access isn't a problem, then neither is timing, given that there's a garden for every season. In the spring, Dutch bulbs burst out at Keukenhof.

And when all is dreary in the north, there's always Cape Town's Kirstenbosch Gardens...

Cassini will use an elaborate suite of instruments to determine why all this meteorological hubbub is taking place on a planet that is so cold--with cloudtop temperatures of --218°F--that it shouldn't be able to cook up much weather. The best guess is that internal heat left over from the gravitational collapse that formed the planet in the first place is keeping things warm. Cassini will deploy its cameras, infrared sensors, chemical spectrographs and more to deconstruct the planet's atmosphere and find out for sure. Other instruments will map the planet's magnetosphere and gravitational...
