You can participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event

 

On June 5, 2012, Alaskans will have the opportunity to witness an event that no one will likely see again in their lifetime -- the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. Transits of Venus are rare. They occur in pairs and are separated by more than 100 years. Tomorrow will be the second transit to occur this century. The last Venus transit occurred in 2004, but the next pair won't happen until 2117 and 2125!

Teaser Title: 
Quake rate up at Iliamna Volcano
Teaser Text: 
Alert Level to Advisory, Aviation Color Code to Yellow

The Alaska Volcano Observatory changed the Aviation Color Code of Iliamna Volcano to Yellow on Friday, March 9. Over the past three months the earthquake rate at the volcano has steadily increased and now exceeds normal background levels. Although it is not certain that this sustained increase in earthquake activity represents the movement of magma at depth, it is a significant change and AVO has increased the Alert Level to Advisory and the Aviation Color Code to Yellow.
