Monkey: What was Beethoven’s favorite fruit?
Empathetic monkey: I don’t know, what?
Monkey: BA-NA-NA-NAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Sign of empathy: These monkeys mimic faces
The ability to mimic the facial expressions of others is thought to be linked to empathy. It’s known that humans and orangutans “ape” each other in this way, but gelada monkeys appear to do it too, a new study shows.

Southern exposure for auroral lights
A picture from the International Space Station, provided Saturday by Dutch astronaut Andre Kuipers, shows southern lights between Antarctica and Australia.
“We can actually fly into the auroras,” space station resident Don Pettit said recently. “It’s like being shrunk down and put inside of a neon sign.”

The other image of Mr. Cook hugging Coco was the one that made the rounds, but this was the picture that stuck with me the most from last week’s tornadoes. When a dog looks frightened, things must be pretty scary.
A friend in need
Greg Cook passes his dog Coco to Donnie Watts through a window of his tornado-destroyed home in Limestone County, Ala., on March 2. Cook rushed home after the winds had stopped to find his house and dozens of others destroyed, but his chocolate Labrador survived.
This is totally crazy.
Bug-eyed

Wow.
See a solar eclipse from outer space
The heavens have to align just right for a solar eclipse — and for NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, today was the day the heavens aligned. The only place where you could see today’s partial eclipse was in outer space.

The view from our living room Sunday afternoon. The weather downtown and to the south was really overcast and rainy, but it was sunny to the north and there was a rainbow from Queen Anne to Wallingford across Lake Union.
