Brand New Dream Theater - "A Dramatic Turn of Events"

Well they've done it. Here is the brand new work of Dream Theater - their first effort without founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy. Replacing him is Mike Mangini, and as you'll find, it's hard to even notice MP is gone. Here is the track listing. Each song title links to its own Youtube page. Enjoy!!

1. On the Backs of Angels
2. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
3. Lost Not Forgotten
4. This is the Life
5. Bridges in the Sky
6. Outcry
7. Far From Heaven

9. Beneath The Surface

I'll have my review for you very soon!

Aurora From Orbit

This gorgeous view of the aurora (above) was taken from the International Space Station as it crossed over the southern Indian Ocean on September 17, 2011. The sped-up movie spans the time period from 12:22 to 12:45 PM ET.

While aurora are often seen near the poles, this aurora appeared at lower latitudes due to a geomagnetic storm – the insertion of energy into Earth's magnetic environment called the magnetosphere – caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun that erupted on September 14, 2011. The storm was a moderate one, rated with what's called a KP index of 6 on a scale that goes from 0 to 9, caused by just a glancing blow from the CME.
