The February 16 Earth Science picture of the day has a great picture and explanation of the science behind a split sunset

Space Weather.com had an interesting picture of the Feb. 14-15 Aurora, from a US Dept. of Defense Meteorological Program satellite

Space.com has an article on a great Aurora display that wasn't expected

From the USGS Water Science for Schools page, an article on raindrop shape. While falling, the shape depends upon the size. I can tell you from personal experience though, that when you're skydiving, and falling at 120mph, and you fall through raindrops, they FEEL like they have a pointy end, and they hurt!
