Looking forward to Will Storr’s The Heretics (pre-order from Amazon UK). Promises to stir up trouble in every direction…

- Remote viewing pioneer Ingo Swann has passed away, aged 79.
- Life found almost a kilometre beneath Antarctica.

- This is what the sky would look like over New York, if you could see the stars.
- Image of the Day: What’s this? Oh just the rings and polar hexagon of Saturn, in the one shot, taken by a spacecraft in orbit around the planet. Nothing too amazing really…
