Vivaldi played by the South African elementary school Goede Hoop Marimba Band
Turn ON the sound

AMAZING
Slow down, turn on the sound and take a couple of minutes to enjoy this!
I think Vivaldi would have been tickled by this as he actually wrote so much of his music for an all girl orphanage/school. So to see a group of girls still playing his music hundreds of years later?!?!?! On an instrument he'd never seen?!?!?!
Wow, the drama in this performance. Genuinely amazing.
THE STORM IS NOT OVER: A CME hit Earth's magnetic field on May 10th, sparking the biggest geomagnetic storm in almost 20 years--an extreme (category G5) event. It is subsiding now (currently category G4), but it is not over. More CMEs are expected to hit Earth's magnetic field during the next 24-48 hours, and they could push the storm back to extreme levels. Stay tuned for updates! CME impact alerts: SMS Text
AURORAS IN FLORIDA! Many people around the world have just seen auroras for the first time in their lives. This includes residents of the Florida Keys. Ron Jarrell sent this photo from Big Pine Key at latitude 24.7° N.
"The auroras were so beautiful!" says Jarrell, who may have made the lowest latitude sighting during this storm. (Update: We now have a credible report of auroras in Puerto Rico!)
Other low latitude sightings of note include St John’s, Florida (30.1° N); Ocala, Florida (29.2° N); Shallowater, Texas (33.7° N); Sedona, Arizona (34.9° N); Cave Creek, Arizona (33.8° N); San Antonio, Texas (29.4° N); Augusta, Georgia (33.5° N); Montezuma, Georgia (32.3° N); and Auburn, Alabama (32.6° N). Stay tuned for more! Aurora alerts: SMS Text
THE STRONGEST X-FLARE YET: Giant sunspot AR3664 unleashed another X-flare today (May 11th @ 0139 UT)--its strongest yet. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a bright ultravolet flash from the category X5.8 explosion.
Radiation from the flare caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean. Ham radio operators and mariners may have noticed loss of signal at frequencies below 30 MHz for as much as an hour after the flare's peak.
We don't yet know if this flare hurled a CME into space. If it did, it could have a grazing Earth-directed component. Confirmation awaits fresh data from SOHO coronagraphs. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text

#11, memory, and Roger & Vicki? please and thank you!
5 SENTENCE DRABBLES!
Lilacs, the scent of lilacs. Roger looked up from his page with a sharp inhale: there, as vibrant as if she were real, a cascade of brown hair over that old green sweater of hers, so familiar he could feel the darn beneath his fingers.
"Vicki."
Their governess turned with a smile, revealing arms full of fresh cut flowers and Roger, mortified, stumbled into hasty apology.
Miss Evans in her grace assured him, "It's alright, Mr. Collins, I miss her too."

An orangutan in Indonesia has been observed appearing to treat a wound with a medicinal tropical plant – the latest example of how some animals attempt to soothe their own ills with remedies found in the wild. Scientists saw the Sumatran orangutan named Rakus pluck and chew up leaves of a medicinal plant used by people throughout Southeast Asia to treat pain and inflammation. The adult male then used his fingers to apply the plant juices to an injury on the right cheek. Afterwards, he pressed the chewed plant to cover the open wound like a makeshift bandage, according to a study in Scientific Reports that was released on Thursday.
