ScienceDaily (Apr. 19, 2011) The supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is the relic of the explosion of a massive star that took place around 11,000 years ago and is one of the brightest radio sources in the sky.
Oddly, although the light from the explosion should have reached Earth in the seventeenth century and been easily visible in the sky, it appears to have gone unnoticed. Now astronomer Martin Lunn and historian Lila Rakoczy argue that the supernova was seen -- as a 'new' star visible during the day at the birth of the future King Charles II of Great Britain.

While premature births have steadily increased over the last thirty years in America, and are on the rise worldwide, a new report released by the CDC provides hope that the tide has turned. With pre-term birth rising over 20 percent between 1990 and 2006, the 3 percent decline reported today between 2007 and 2008 is small but significant. It is the second year in a row that there has been a decrease.

Mississippi Had Highest Teen Birth Rate in 2006; New Hampshire Had Lowest

Jan. 7, 2009 -- The birth rate for teens rose in more than half the states in the country in 2006, with the biggest increases seen in the South and Southwest, new research shows.

Mississippi had the highest teen birth rate, with 68.4 births reported per 1,000 girls aged 15-19, according to the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

More than 4 million babies are born in the United States each year, and the details of how, when, and where they arrive are always shifting.

The news from the final 2005 report and preliminary 2006 report on births from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is that America continues to boast climbing birth rates, following the baby decline of the 1990s. In fact, we're experiencing a little baby boom of sorts, with an increase of 3 percent from 2005 to 2006 the largest single-year increase in the number of births since 1989 and the largest total number of births (4.27 million) since 1961.
