The magnetic Earth

The magnetic Earth
The World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM) shows the variation in strength of the magnetic field after the Earth's dipole field has been removed. Earth's dipole field is generated by circulating electric currents in the planet's metal core. It varies from 35,000 nanoTesla (nT) at the Equator to 70,000 nT at the poles.

Baby animal love story

http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/6404425.stm

A pair of Sumatran tiger cubs and a set of young orang-utans, all abandoned at birth, have become inseparable after sharing a room at an Indonesian zoo. The four have lived side by side for a month without a hitch, although this goes against their natural instincts."This is unusual and would never happen in the wild," zookeeper Sri Suwarni said. "Like human babies, they only want to play."But the friendship is not destined to last as tigers start eating meat when they are three months old and will need to be separated from their new playmates.
