Today's Weather Trivia:

May 9,1950: During the historic Winnipeg, MB, flood, a portly East Kildonan housewife, carrying a tray of sandwiches, waded through a sea of mud to a dike-side canteen. Suddenly, the sandwich bearer squealed as one of her rubber boots stuck fast in the mud. Three soldiers jumped to the rescue. She tugged, the soldiers pulled, the boot came clear, and the sandwiches were delivered. All dikers cheered. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

The star at the tip of the Big Dipper's handle, Alkaid, is 100 light-years away, so the light you see from the star tonight began its journey in 1910. Alkaid is much larger, brighter, and heavier than the Sun, and has a bluer color .-- [StarDate Online | Weekly Stargazing Tips]
