A new twist has emerged in the debate over how the large stones that comprise Stonehenge made it to the site.

A ball of gas reported to be more massive that a billion suns "is hurtling like an enormous comet through the interior of a distant galaxy cluster," writes Ker Than for Space.com. Astronomers believe the immense blob is held together by dark matter and that it was formed during the collision of two star clusters, billions of years ago. Read more here.
Today's Chicago Tribune raised concerns about the safety of America's nuclear plants. Employee fatigue was cited as a potentially serious problem, as many facilities are short staffed, and workers are putting in "numbingly long hours on the job." Also at issue is whether it's safe to boost the energy output at aging plants. The Exelon plant in Illinois reportedly had large cracks in heavy metal plates after they raised their levels.

In 2001, nearly 50 tons of blood-colored rain fell in parts of India. Physicist Dr. Godfrey Louis believes that these unusual red particles (pictured, magnified 500 times) are alien microbes from outer space, which entered Earth's atmosphere on a comet or meteorite. Some of Louis's experiments suggest that the strange red cells may lack DNA yet still reproduce, even in superheated water. Read more from Popular Science.Photo: Dr. Godfrey Louis

First hour guest, reporter and editor of Earthfiles.com, Linda Moulton Howe presented updates on cattle mutilations and Morgellons syndrome. In April, a rancher from Lamar, CO found a mutilated cow that had been in the process of giving birth to a calf, indicating that the incident happened rapidly, she reported. Also, there were no signs of struggle as the grass in the area was untouched. Linda announced that the first epidemiological study of the mysterious Morgellons disease is underway. The ailment is associated with intense itching and lesions that have strange fibers emerging from them (she sent us two photomicrographs of the types of fibers that have been associated with the syndrome). About half the people who have Morgellons also test positive for Lyme disease, and there is also a correlation with those who've lived in flooded areas that had mold problems, she noted. For more info, visit the Morgellons Research Foundation.
