Today marks 30 years since Muhammad Ali’s last fight. (a fight, in which, he lost to Trevor Berbick)

Is this gorgeous or what? It’s the first place winner of Princeton’s Art of Science competition, an image of a model of the Earth’s polarity reversing. (I guess this happens every 500,000 years or so, when north swaps places with south…the things you learn working at a science magazine). Anyway, if you would like to give me a Christmas present, Tumblr, I’ll take this printed at about 8 feet by 8 feet.
Amazing!

On the historic day where John F. Kennedy was elected president, we take a look back at his Life Before Camelot.
