Most known for their amazing photography and lengthy feature stories about the sciences, National Geographic is a treasure. Extremely colorful and fun, their website is a change from the usual media sites that can be found online. An exploration of the site will afford wonderful information that most news outlets simply don't have time to cover.
Take for example an article about the sun's intensity decreasing and possibly endangering the earth. With other news such as the presidential debate and the economy being in a recession, the media simply doesn't have time to deal with such news as the sun. The feature is wonderfully written, incredibly informative, and simply warns that the intensity of the sun is decreasing which could possibly cause an increase in cosmic rays (more of a problem for astronauts traveling into space and the little alien creatures located passed Pluto). Also, this increase in cosmic rays could alter the climate of the earth... interesting, seeing as everyone is so concerned about global warming.
Check out National Geographic and all their enlightening information.
