It is without doubt the picture of a lifetime: a rainbow forming in all its colourful glory as a young boy looks out over the rocks and out to sea.
Avena Singh realised she only had seconds to capture the image as she and her three-year-old son explored the Shore Acres State Park in Oregon.
But she managed to fire off a quick photograph before the splash from a wave caused the incredible effect to disappear before their every eyes.
'After they took their photos they turned away. I was standing right behind my son and saw the rainbow bend right over him. It was astonishing. I started snapping photos madly hoping to capture it all.
'The remnants of the wave just fell straight down, and the rainbow disappeared as quickly as it had come. My son stood perfectly still in complete awe of what he discovered, his very own rainbow.

http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/lRN6KXJY21A/apod_2011_march_30_ngc_5584_expanding_the_universe

Explanation: Big, beautiful NGC 5548 is more that 50,000 light-years across and lies 72 million light-years away toward the constellation Virgo. The winding spiral arms of this gorgeous island universe are loaded with luminous young star clusters and dark dust lanes. Still, for earthbound astronomers NGC 5548 is not just another pretty face-on spiral galaxy. Home to some 250 Cepheid variable stars and a recent Type Ia supernova explosion, key objects for astronomical distance determinations, NGC 5548 is one of 8 galaxies used in a new study that includes additional Hubble Space Telescope observations to improve the measurement of Hubble's Constant - the expansion rate of the Universe. The results of the study lend weight to the theory that dark energy really is responsible for accelerating the expansion of the Universe, restricting models that try to explain the observed acceleration [...]

http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/POnhwXTNeko/apod_2011_march_29_kepler_s_suns_and_planets

Explanation: Using the prolific planet hunting Kepler spacecraft, astronomers have discovered 1,235 candidate planets orbiting other suns since the Kepler mission's search for Earth-like worlds began in 2009. To find them, Kepler monitors a rich star field to identify planetary transits by the slight dimming of starlight caused by a planet crossing the face of its parent star. In this remarkable illustration, all of Kepler's planet candidates are shown in transit with their parent stars ordered by size from top left to bottom right. Stars and the silhouettes of transiting planets are all shown at the same relative scale, with saturated star colors. Of course, some stars show more than one planet in transit, but you may have to examine the picture at high resolution to spot them all. For reference, the Sun is shown at the same scale, by itself below the top row on the right. In [...]

Top Ten Shameless Game Console Knock-offs

http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/2XBq9Sz15eo/top_ten_shameless_game_console_knock_offs

There appears to be a fairly large market for videogame console knock-offs. These gray-market consoles are especially prevalent in countries such as China and parts of South America where piracy and lack of distribution centers for legitimate consoles has led companies to try to make a quick buck. Personally, I have seen hundreds of these things in malls across America, containing games such as Super Mari Brothers, an amazingly well done cover-up for a real game I bet nobody could figure out the name of. Some of these could easily be mistaken for their real-life counterparts, but others are hilariously terrible. Here they are, the top ten most shameless game console knock-offs.

In November 2007, Brock Hopkins was mauled by a grizzly bear named "Red" at Great Bear Adventures near West Glacier, Montana. Shortly after the incident, he admitted to smoking marijuana and feeding the bears before being attacked him (stupid movie, bro... Haven't you ever seen all the 'Don't feed the bears' signs in old Yogi Bear cartoon?). He applied to the Montana state Department of Labor for workers comp and was denied. Now, four years later, he was approved. Here's why, via the Daily Inter Lake:

The New Hotness: Word of Click

http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/OWihiZS8kmA/the_new_hotness_word_of_click

Everyone has heard of ?word of mouth.? It?s a grassroots style of marketing that uses the goodwill of current and future customers and magnifies it as much as possible.

Two things have changed with social media emerging as a primary marketing venue. First, the potential to have messages amplified is much higher ? individuals can spread their message much more prolifically through social media than they ever could before through standard ?word of mouth.? Second, businesses have a greater amount of control over not only how amplified their message is but also how they can monitor what?s being said.

President Barack Obama has touted his emphasis on multilateralism in the U.S. military intervention in Libya, but, for political, operational, and legal reasons, Obama's "coalition of the willing" is smaller than any major multilateral operation since the end of the Cold War.

The Cable compiled a chart listing all the countries that contributed at least some military assets to the five major military operations in which the United States participated in a coalition during the last 20 years: the 1991 Gulf War (32 countries participating), the 1995 Bosnia mission (24 countries), the 1999 Kosovo mission (19 countries), the 2002 invasion of Afghanistan (48 countries), and the 2003 invasion of Iraq (40 countries), at the height of the size of each coalition.
