Cryovolcanoes: Meet the Frozen Volcanoes on Pluto

Scientists spotted a possible ice volcano on the surface of Pluto. At about 90 miles (150 kilometers) across and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) high. 

Scientists have assembled the highest-resolution color view of one of the cryovolcanoes.

If confirmed, it would be the largest such feature discovered in the outer solar system. More at: http://go.nasa.gov/1mYCtyZ

Is A Coincidence Ever JUST A Coincidence? The New Science Of Synchronicity

Mind Body Green writes:

Occasionally, two or three events in your life will intersect in a way that surprises you. One may be a thought or a feeling (internal) and the other happens in your environment (external). The two events have no apparent causal connection, but the surprise captures your attention and causes your mind to search for meaning. You wonder if it’s a coincidence or if it means something for you or for your life.

These moments appear in all parts of our finances, work, family, romance, health, ideas, and spirituality, as well as in movies, books, and the news. Like sex, they help make the world go round.

According to one Weird Coincidence Survey the most frequent coincidence is:

“I think of an idea and hear or see it on the radio, TV, or Internet.”

Just below that on the list are:

“I think of calling someone only to have that person unexpectedly call me.”

“I think of a question only to have it answered by external media (i.e., radio, TV, people) before I can ask it.”

“I advance in my work/career/education through being in the right place at the right time.”

Carl Jung introduced the idea of meaningful coincidences to the Western world with the term “synchronicity.”

The purpose of synchronicity, according to Jungians, is to further psychological growth and change—the process of individuation—of becoming who you truly are.
