On large scales it acts a lot like water. Here we can see a single layer of atmosphere due to it's temperature being just right to make clouds. As it flows over an obstacle (a mountain island) it ripples and the clouds give away the shape of the air flow. http://www.onorbit.com/node/4601 *UK announces Sun scraping probe* Building a probe to go closer to the sun than ever before. Though don't get too excited, it's still going to be a good 20 million km away. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17743190 *SpaceX (spacex spacex spacex)* With SpaceX gearing up for a launch there is a lot happening! As of this email the launch is delayed to an unknown date. It was May 7, but now may be as late as May 10 or perhaps pushed out of the window (May 12th, I think) entirely and have to wait for the next window.
