(TheWeatherSpace.com) — Cooler than normal temperatures continue for the Western Coast of the United States as trough hangs tight.
Rain fell in parts of Northern California and Southern Oregon on Monday and this will move east for your Tuesday. A frontal zone will bring rain to the Seattle and Portland areas on Thursday. This is not a flooding hazard, but it will drop some rainfall in these spots.
As for the rest of the coastal areas, Southern California is in the middle of a ridge to the east and a trough over the Pacific Northwest. The trough seems to be winning as thunderstorms are confined in the state of Arizona.

24 Hours in the Life of Earth
Preview Trailer For ‘One Day On Earth,’ 24 Hours Of Life Across The World (VIDEO)
First Posted: 7/20/11 04:13 AM ET Updated: 7/20/11 11:16 AM ET
For their new film, ‘One Day on Earth,’ filmmakers recorded 24 hours of footage in every country in the world. The film acts as catalogue for human culture in the current moment–our problems and our triumphs, our inventions and our traditions.
One Day on Earth started in September of 2008 with the goal of creating a unique worldwide media event where thousands of participants would simultaneously film over a 24-hour period. The idea for the project was conceived while watching musicians from very different regions of the world collaborate on stage at the opening night of the 2008 World festival of Sacred Music. Their initial attempts to create music together were awkward, and it was clear that they had never collaborated prior to this moment. Eventually though, over the period of a couple minutes, what was disharmony became harmony, and a beautiful fusion of music came together for the first time. The moment inspired a similar vision for another universal form of communication—cinema.
On 10/10/10, people all over the world recorded the events in their lives and uploaded them to Vimeo, and the film will premier shortly before 11/11/11 the, next global filming date. The filmmakers hope to produce a film each year to capture our global experience. Check out the preview for the film below.

Pluto’s 4th Moon
It may not be a planet any more, but it does have its share of moons:
Hubble spies fourth moon at Pluto
By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News
The Hubble Space Telecope observations of P4 were made in June and JulyContinue reading the main story
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have identified another moon around the dwarf planet Pluto.
It becomes the fourth object known to be circling the distant world after the long-recognised Charon and recently observed Nix and Hydra satellites.
Scientists are temporarily calling the new moon P4 and estimate its diameter to be 13 to 34 km (of 8 to 21 miles).
Pluto, controversially demoted from full planet status in 2006, will be the target of a big space mission in 2015.
Nasa’s New Horizons probe is due to fly past the icy world and should get a good look at the moons, also.

Magnetic Portals Between Earth & Sun
Magnetic Portals Connect Sun And Earth
ScienceDaily (Nov. 2, 2008) — During the time it takes you to read this article, something will happen high overhead that until recently many scientists didn’t believe in. A magnetic portal will open, linking Earth to the sun 93 million miles away. Tons of high-energy particles may flow through the opening before it closes again, around the time you reach the end of the page
“It’s called a flux transfer event or ‘FTE,'” says space physicist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. “Ten years ago I was pretty sure they didn’t exist, but now the evidence is incontrovertible.”
Indeed, today Sibeck is telling an international assembly of space physicists at the 2008 Plasma Workshop in Huntsville, Alabama, that FTEs are not just common, but possibly twice as common as anyone had ever imagined.

Chopra Chakra Video Game
Deepak Chopra is making a video game about your chakras
By Winda Benedetti
Many different kinds of stars have had video games made about them. Sports stars like Tiger Woods, exercise gurus like Jillian Michaels, and even the Black Eyed Peas have all had video games created around who they are and what they do.
And now Deepak Chopra — controversial spiritualist, alternative-medicine guru and self-help author — is getting in on the video game action too.
And no, he isn’t making a first-person shooter.
Chopra has joined forces (both metaphysical and real) with THQ to create the game “Leela” — which means “play” in Sanskrit and is due to launch Nov. 8 on the Xbox 360 and Wii. The game will use the Xbox 360 Kinect motion sensor or, in its Wii version, will have players hold a Wii Remote controller as it guides players through meditation exercises.

Hey, Susana, Grin and BEAR it in NM
Susana Martinez, New Mexico Governor, Visited By Bear In Santa Fe (VIDEO)
Given the many issues that politicians must face, a bear is probably not high on their list of concerns. But this past weekend, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez was confronted by this very challenge.
The Associated Press reports that surveillance video near the governor’s mansion caught a bearoverturning trash cans over the weekend, looking for food.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, a news release from the Governor’s Office stated that earlier this month, residents of the Los Alamos area were warned that bears had been displaced by the wildfire, and wandered in the community.
Fire officials reported that the Los Alamos fireerupted in late June after a tree fell onto power lines.The fire was fueled by an noticeably dry season accompanied by erratic winds, according to The Associated Press.
