Cherry trees exploding into bloom line the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. The capital's annual National Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates the arrival of the blooms—and, unofficially, spring. Timing the festival is tricky, though, since the opening of the buds depends on weather conditions. Unseasonably warm temperatures mean the blooms arrive early; unseasonably cool weather delays the display.

Rain doesn't deter a walker from strolling the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., during the short blooming life of ornamental cherry trees. There are 12 different varieties of ornamental, or flowering, cherry trees in the District of Columbia. Ornamental cherry trees do not produce fruit.

Maintaining the 3,000-plus cherry trees that blossom each spring in Washington, D.C., is a big job for the National Park Service. Every year, Tree Crew members prune the trees, treat bark wounds, monitor for insects and disease, and replace any trees lost to old age or other problems.

Mastiff on Mountain, North America, 1967
Photograph by Christopher Knight
Crumbling ice makes for a precarious journey for this mastiff sliding down a slope in North America.
As global warming pushes temperatures higher each year, scientists predict that permanent snow lines of mountains around the world will rise, closing skiing resorts, hurting tourism, swelling major rivers, potentially submerging low-lying areas, and significantly changing landscapes.

Collecting Honey, Sundarban Forest, Bangladesh, 2007

In Bangladesh's Sundarban Forest, a beekeeper fans smoke into a hive of giant honeybees to calm the swarming insects before collecting their honey. Found in forested areas of the Indian subcontinent, Indonesia, and central China, Apis dorsata, the giant honeybee, grows to nearly an inch (2.5 centimeters) long and builds hives as large as nine feet (three meters) in diameter.

Magnetism made visible: That describes virtually every feature on the sun, from sunspots to these soaring structures, called loops. Loops easily reach the height of ten Earths. Energy generated by the dynamics of smaller loops is likely the source of the solar corona's mysterious heat. The superheated gases that form the sun, mainly hydrogen and helium, exist in an electrified state called plasma. Below the surface, plasma can push and drag magnetic field lines. But when lines are strong enough to arc out, wildly conductive plasma follows.

The sun-orbiting SOHO spacecraft captured this snapshot of the development of a coronal mass ejection (CME), an explosive sun storm. It shows erupting filaments lifting off the active solar surface and blasting enormous bubbles of magnetic plasma into space. CMEs occur anywhere from once a week to two or more times a day, and they can profoundly influence space weather.

This false-color image, taken by an amateur astronomer in Stuttgart, Germany, shows clouds of solar gas, called prominences, held just above the surface by the sun's magnetic field. A quiescent prominence typically lasts about a month and may erupt in a coronal mass ejection (CME) expelling hot gas into the solar system.

Bubbles the size of Texas cover the sun's face, as seen by the Swedish Solar Telescope, which has made the first images sharp enough to reveal the structures in three dimensions. Called granules, the short-lived cells of plasma carry heat to the surface through convection, the same way water boils in a pot. The rise and fall of granules creates sound waves, which cause the sun to throb like a drum every five minutes.

This SOHO image is in extreme-ultraviolet wavelengths, color-coded by temperature, with red showing the hottest. Why is the halo-like corona, visible from Earth only during a total eclipse, hundreds—even thousands—of times hotter than the sun's surface? That's one of the questions that keep scientists looking straight at the sun.

Longnose Hawkfish, Namena Island, Fiji, 2004
Photograph by Tim Laman
Longnose hawkfish, like this brightly patterned creature resting in a bed of soft coral off Fiji Island's Namena Island, are tropical marine fish known for their needle-like snouts and striking red-and-white scales. The fish's common name originates from its hawklike habit of perching on the high ground of reefs, where it surveys its surroundings for predator or prey.
