...Mosquito Bay, the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world, where the roots of vitamin-rich mangrove trees create a perfect breeding ground for tiny sea creatures called dinoflagellates. These organisms light up the water at night with a greenish glow (though they are easiest to see when the moon is dark). Located to the island's south, the bay can be toured with Island Adventures (BIOBAY.COM) or on kayaks led by local guides. Once there, even jaded travelers are shocked into wonderment. Stick your hand in the water, and watch it glow like a firefly. Hop in the lighted water...
...compulsory destination on the hippie trail, which led from Turkey via Afghanistan (for, um, essential supplies) to points east. Like in Kathmandu, kids came to Goa for a week and never left. The tradition of amped-up susegado continued in the '90s with Goa's famous full-moon parties?ecstatic, quasi-pagan raves. In Bombay, Indian friends told me matter-of-factly that "[authorities]cleaned all that up." I didn't like the sound of that?even aging hippies need a place to lay their buzzing heads. But although a crackdown on drugs has restrained the nightlife in Goa somewhat...
...across the net, with Henin-Hardenne running out the winner 6-0, 6-4. The match was not only the first-ever all-Belgian final, it sealed the women's places as second and third in the world rankings, sandwiched between the Williams sisters. Belgians, naturally, were over the moon, giving Henin-Hardenne a city-hall welcome in Brussels. This was the slightly built 21-year-old's fourth tournament win of the year; Clijsters, 20, has won three. Henin-Hardenne began plotting a French Open conquest in 1992, when her mother took her to the Roland Garros stadium...
...trio of ships will take about seven months to reach Mars (the moon, by contrast, is just a quick three-day hop) and will follow flight plans that are in many respects quite similar. All are traveling to deep basins or other formations on Mars that look as if they were once flooded with water, a key requirement for life. All will also reach the surface in the Rube Goldbergian fashion pioneered by NASA's Mars Pathfinder in the summer of 1997, slowing their fall with a combination of heat shields, parachutes and, in the case of the U.S. landers...
...hyping The Hulk. You can come out now. You can confess that you hated The Matrix Reloaded. You hated Morpheus' speechifying, winced at the smarmy Merovingian and at the film's truncated ending. As for Zion, if they'd spent one more minute on that faux full-moon party, you were going to start a little Burly Brawl of your...
