The Eureka Dunes in Death Valley National Park offer an eerie soundtrack to visitors who decide to make their way up the sandy slopes—a mysterious phenomenon known as singing sand results in heavy bass notes and drones that sound like they come from airplanes. The booming sounds only add to the desolate beauty of the dunes, the tallest in California.

Planets of the Morning

Explanation: Planet Earth's horizon stretches across this recent Solar System group portrait, seen from the southern hemisphere's Las Campanas Observatory. Taken before dawn it traces the ecliptic with a line-up familiar to November's early morning risers. Toward the east are bright planets Venus, Mars, and Jupiter as well as Regulus, alpha star of the constellation Leo. Of course the planets are immersed in the faint glow of zodiacal light, visible from the dark site rising at an angle from the horizon. Sometimes known as the false dawn, it's no accident the zodiacal light and planets both lie along the ecliptic. Formed in the flattened protoplanetary disk, the Solar System's planet's all orbit near the ecliptic plane, while dust near the plane scatters sunlight, the source of the faint zodiacal glow.

Unusual Pits Discovered on Pluto
Image Credit: NASA, Johns Hopkins U. APL, SwRI
Explanation: Why are there unusual pits on Pluto? The indentations were discovered during the New Horizons spacecraft's flyby of the dwarf planet in July. The largest pits span a kilometer across and dip tens of meters into a lake of frozen nitrogen, a lake that sprawls across Sputnik Planum, part of the famous light-colored heart-shaped region named Tombaugh Regio. Although most pits in the Solar System are created by impact craters, these depressions look different -- many are similarly sized, densely packed, and aligned. Rather, it is thought that something has caused these specific areas of ice to sublimate and evaporate away. In fact, the lack of overlying impact craters indicates these pits formed relatively recently. Even though the robotic New Horizons is now off to a new destination, it continues to beam back to Earth new images and data from its dramatic encounter with Pluto.

“My Swedish friend and I decided (pretty easily) that a dive into a ... geothermally heated pool sounded abundantly more pleasant than being cold (like we were) during our late summer Icelandic journey,” writes Kelby Singhaus. Hruni’s rolling grass hills and “flocks of poofy sheep” contributed to what Singhaus called an unbeatable moment. “So dive, we did,” he writes, “and warm we were! Until we got out, of course.”

Aurora over Clouds
Image Credit & Copyright: Daniele Boffelli
Explanation: Auroras usually occur high above the clouds. The auroral glow is created when fast-moving particles ejected from the Sun impact the Earth's magnetosphere, from which charged particles spiral along the Earth's magnetic field to strike atoms and molecules high in the Earth's atmosphere. An oxygen atom, for example, will glow in the green light commonly emitted by an aurora after being energized by such a collision. The lowest part of an aurora will typically occur at 100 kilometers up, while most clouds usually exist only below about 10 kilometers. The relative heights of clouds and auroras are shown clearly in the featured picture from Dyrholaey, Iceland. There, a determined astrophotographer withstood high winds and initially overcast skies in an attempt to capture aurora over a picturesque lighthouse, only to take, by chance, the featured picture along the way.

A 212-Hour Exposure of Orion
Image Credit & Copyright: Stanislav Volskiy, Rollover Annotation: Judy Schmidt
Explanation: The constellation of Orion is much more than three stars in a row. It is a direction in space that is rich with impressive nebulas. To better appreciate this well-known swath of sky, an extremely long exposure was taken over many clear nights in 2013 and 2014. After 212 hours of camera time and an additional year of processing, the featured 1400-exposure collage spanning over 40 times the angular diameter of the Moon emerged. Of the many interesting details that have become visible, one that particularly draws the eye is Barnard's Loop, the bright red circular filament arcing down from the middle. The Rosette Nebula is not the giant red nebula near the top of the image -- that is a larger but lesser known nebula known as Lambda Orionis. The Rosette Nebula is visible, though: it is the red and white nebula on the upper left. The bright orange star just above the frame center is Betelgeuse, while the bright blue star on the lower right is Rigel. Other famous nebulas visible include the Witch Head Nebula, the Flame Nebula, the Fox Fur Nebula, and, if you know just where to look, the comparatively small Horsehead Nebula. About those famous three stars that cross the belt of Orion the Hunter -- in this busy frame they can be hard to locate, but a discerning eye will find them just below and to the right of the image center.

All Fall Down

Photograph by Steve Brockett, National Geographic Your Shot
“Autumnal flying at its best,” writes Your Shot member Steve Brockett, who photographed this golf course in Wales from a powered paraglider. Though autumn hadn’t yet come into full swing, Brockett still found his sunset flight over the Monmouthshire valley rewarding. “Isolated points of color draw you to them like sentinels,” he writes. Initially attracted to the near perfect circle of leaves beneath the tree at center, he found that the shadows and light lent the image additional form—and a dose of magic.

Phobos: Doomed Moon of Mars
Image Credit: HiRISE, MRO, LPL (U. Arizona), NASA
Explanation: This moon is doomed. Mars, the red planet named for the Roman god of war, has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos, whose names are derived from the Greek for Fear and Panic. These martian moons may well be captured asteroids originating in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or perhaps from even more distant reaches of the Solar System. The larger moon, Phobos, is indeed seen to be a cratered, asteroid-like object in this stunning color image from the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, recorded at a resolution of about seven meters per pixel. But Phobos orbits so close to Mars - about 5,800 kilometers above the surface compared to 400,000 kilometers for our Moon - that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. A recent analysis of the long grooves indicates that they may result from global stretching caused by tides -- the differing force of Mars' gravity on different sides of Phobos. These grooves may then be an early phase in the disintegration of Phobos into a ring of debris around Mars.

Recycling NGC 5291
Image Credit & Copyright: CHART32 Team, Processing - Johannes Schedler
Explanation: Following an ancient galaxy-galaxy collision 200 million light-years from Earth, debris from a gas-rich galaxy, NGC 5291, was flung far into intergalactic space. NGC 5291 and the likely interloper, also known as the "Seashell" galaxy, are captured near the center of this spectacular scene. The sharp, ground-based telescopic image looks toward the galaxy cluster Abell 3574 in the southern constellation Centaurus. Stretched along the 100,000 light-year long tidal tails, are clumps resembling dwarf galaxies, but lacking old stars, apparently dominated by young stars and active star forming regions. Found to be unusually rich in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, the dwarf galaxies were likely born in intergalactic space, recycling the enriched debris from NGC 5291 itself.

Sunrise Sweep

“I was lucky to visit Varanasi during the [bird] migration. Morning boat rides are the ultimate thing to do during this time,” opines photographer Razz Razalli, who was in India when he captured this flock sweeping over a rowboat at sunrise. “According to the locals, the birds arrive in November and leave at the end of February,” Razalli writes. The annual migration attracts tourists to Varanasi, and for a fee, boatmen take tourists onto the river for an up-close look at the flocks.

Leonids and Friends
Image Credit & Copyright: Malcolm Park (North York Astronomical Association)
Explanation: Leonid meteors rained down on planet Earth this week, the annual shower of dusty debris from the orbit of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Leonids streak through this composite night skyview from a backyard observatory in southern Ontario. Recorded with camera fixed to a tripod, the individual frames capture the bright meteor activity throughout the night of November 16/17, about a day before the shower's very modest peak. The frames are registered to the fixed field of view, so the meteor trails are not all aligned to the background star field recorded that same evening when nebula-rich Orion stood above the southern horizon. As a result, the trails don't appear to point back to the shower's radiant in Leo, situated off the left edge of the star field frame. In fact, some trails could be of Taurid meteors, a shower also active in November, or even sporadic meteors, including a bright fireball with its reflection near the horizon.

"How A Skinny Asthmatic Kid From Connecticut Achieved A 452 Pound Bench Press & Guarantees You Can Get Similar Results!"

So… is it really possible for a guy who couldn’t bench 100 pounds… to transform himself into a powerful, muscular lifter that recently benched over 452 pounds? Well, I’ll let you be the judge. Take a look at my pictures above. The one on the left is a picture of me in my senior year of high school. I think it’s pretty obvious that I didn’t really lift weights. In fact… I had really bad asthma and was hospitalized a lot as a child. So true story… I went from not even being able to lift 100 pounds… to literally being able to bench press OVER 400 pounds. The picture on the right is after I started learning and using the bench press secrets I want to share with you. In fact, between high school and college… I packed on over 75 pounds of muscle mass! Sure… it took a little time. Because it took me a few years to learn and to know everything that I used… and everything that helped me. But here’s the important thing: If you learn the simple secrets I’m about to reveal… you can confidently add weight to your bench, pack on some solid, rock-hard muscle mass, and NEVER have to worry about being small or feeling weak again! Take it from me personally, you can do this too! When I started lifting weights and working on my bench press… it literally changed my life for the better. I actually walked on a D-IAA college football team and became a starting outside linebacker my junior and senior year. You’ll never believe it… but I actually had the strongest bench press on the team my senior year… hitting 405. I’m not saying this to brag. I just want you to open your mind to the possibilities. Because it doesn’t matter where you’re starting… it only matters where you want to go! Like I just mentioned… as a freshman in high school… I couldn’t bench press 100 pounds. Over time, I stuck with it. I learned things as I went along… and kept putting new tips and techniques into practice. But the training style I used back then caused me to plateau at 300 lbs on the bench press. I stayed there for over a year. When I learned the advanced bench press secrets I’m going to show you (the same secrets that are in the Critical Bench Program)... my bench press soared to 365.
I Made More Progress In 11 Weeks
Then I Had Made In The Entire Previous Year! When I started the program for a second time… I added another 50 lbs to my max… reaching 435. I logged every workout I did in college that got me to a 400 plus pound bench press. And honestly, like magic… the more my bench increased… so did my muscle mass and strength. And as my muscle mass and strength went up… so did my self-esteem and my confidence. I carried myself better… I felt better about myself. I was more outgoing. I felt more powerful. It allowed me to get a job as a personal trainer. I wrote for the big-name Muscle Magazines. I even played some football in Europe after college. I can honestly say that I owe so much of my life to the simple fact that I was able to dedicate a lot of time and effort to learning how to bench press RIGHT… and get bigger and stronger. I’m not trying to paint this out to be magic. I just want to show you what’s possible when you set your mind to achieving something… and then you follow a step-by-step plan.
Who Needs This Program? Who Doesn’t? Look, if you’re happy with what you’re benching right now, you definitely don’t need this program… unless you want to keep going up… if you want to keep getting bigger and better. And you don’t need it if you’re currently happy with your size and muscularity. If you’re happy with the way your body looks and the amount of muscle you carry… then I’d skip this… unless you want to pack on even more muscle. If you’re as strong as you want to be… or if you’re as quick and as powerful as you need to be for your school’s sport… you probably don’t need it. But if you want to gain more strength, more muscle, and a much bigger bench press that makes your buddies envious and jealous, this will do it.
