I got no less than FOUR emails today with exactly the same "advice". Buy IKMA. Only problem is, there is no "IKMA". It’s "IKMA.Pk".

The main reason I love Bad Astronomy Blog is because he gets a hold of the coolest stuff way before it usually shows up anywhere else. For instance, this:
This is the Messenger fly by of Earth on it’s way to Mercury. Nothing spectacular about the the event. But, the view is awesome! As a commentor [...]

Does the Earth’s atmosphere primarily behave like an actual greenhouse?
