Nat Geo reminds us about how Earthday started with this lovely photo, with this caption:
Ira Einhorn—a leader of nonviolence, drug, and free-love movements in the 1960s—speaks at Philadelphia's first Earth Day celebration on April 22, 1970, Across the U.S. the first Earth Day drew an estimated 20 million participants.
, leaving out one small problem: The "leader of non violence, drug, and free love movements" pictures above beat his girlfriend to death, hid her body in a trunk, and then hid out with his rich friends in Europe for twenty years.
but hey, what's a murder or two if you are politically correct (sarcasm).

Newly discovered planets outside our solar system orbit the wrong way.
Since planets form out of the same swirling gas cloud that creates a star, they are expected to orbit in the same direction that the star spins. Graduate students David Anderson, of Keele University, and Amaury Triaud, of Geneva Observatory, were surprised to find that WASP-17 is orbiting the wrong way, making it the first planet known to have a ``retrograde'' orbit. The likely explanation is that WASP-17 was involved in a near collision with another planet early in its history.
