Towers of effulgent jack-o-lanterns line the picturesque streets of Keene, New Hampshire, with more pumpkins aglow than there are inhabitants of the small town.
The next step in finding out the chances of life on the planet would be to measure its light spectrum, a process that would reveal molecular oxygen if it exists. The glare from Gliese 581 makes this impossible, however.
In the movie Skyline, strange lights descend on Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame. An extra-terrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the earth.
Astronomer David Field of the University of Aarhus says, "The fainter the galaxy, the more distant it is. And given that light travels at a finite speed, faint galaxies are also the oldest."
People who describe themselves as “blind as a bat” might want to find a new turn of phrase. It turns out that the mouse-eared bat uses a form of light that most humans cannot see to guide its movements.

Upon his death, Albert Einstein's brain was photographed and dissected into 240 parts. Scientists are now looking through the material for anatomical quirks that would help shed light on the physicist's genius.
The National Transportation Safety Board is hoping that its interviews with the four pilots of Flight 214 will shed light on the aircraft’s erratic approach and the cockpit’s last-minute attempt to abort the landing.
A US-British team of astronomers discovered a planet 1,200 light-years away with ultra-high concentrations of carbon. This supports the idea that it could have mountains made up of diamonds.
The slow but sure force with which tree roots crush and overcome concrete (and sometimes even steel) inspires visions of a natural reclamation of the civilized world, their serpentine forms resembling rivers and lightning.
