Turn your phone into a magnifying glass

Another great tidbit from Kim Komando...

Turn your phone into a magnifying glass

You don't have to be a detective to use a magnifying glass to look for clues. You might want to read something that's too small or look at a detail that's hard to spot. Either way, a magnifying glass helps you spot things you might otherwise miss. Unfortunately, you might not have a magnifying glass just lying around when you need it most. But you probably do have a smartphone!

What's that in the sky?

Spring is here and summer is right around the corner.  Time to be sitting out observing the stars and that great big ball we call the moon.  NASA has put together a video close-up tour of the moon so you can really see what you are  looking at. 

Some Moon facts

On average, the Moon is roughly 384,402 km away from Earth, or about 238,856 miles. The second-densest moon in our solar system (behind Jupiter's Io), it is 1/81 the size of Earth, which, relative to the planet it orbits, is pretty large by moon standards.

Though humanity has been studying the Moon for years, it was not until July 21, 1969, when Neil Armstrong walked on its surface, becoming the first man in history to do so. His Apollo 11 mission was the first of seven that were to send astronauts to the Moon, though Apollo 13 never made it.

In total, 12 people have walked on the Moon, with the last coming in 1972. Since then, many other countries have had missions involving the Moon, and there are more scheduled for the coming years.
