Three years later, Clifford Schorer, an associate at Agnews Gallery in London, heard of the story during a stay in Boston. He immediately knew he had...

The gray color of the bottom right is the Moon's natural color, directly illuminated by sunlight. The upper left part of the Moon is not directly lit by the Sun since it is being eclipsed -- it in the Earth's shadow. It is faintly lit, though,...

Accused Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley was hauled into the school with his parents over his “behavior in the classroom” just hours before the deadly rampage. After first being talked to by school officials on Monday, Crumbley and his parents were hauled into the school Tuesday to meet with administrators, a short time before he allegedly committed the shootings that left four students dead and seven others wounded, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Wednesday. “We also were told that the school had some information or some kind of contact with the school,” Bouchard said at a press briefing.

The meeting was scheduled last Friday by base personnel to take place today, they then canceled this meeting on Monday, then rescheduled, again, yesterday for today. No one knew what the meeting was...
