N.S. skater may have broken fastest spin record: 342 revolutions per minute


A Nova Scotia figure skater may have just spun her way into the world record books.

Olivia Rybicka-Oliver, 11, spun at a speed equivalent to 342 revolutions per minute on the ice during a competition in Poland on Monday. If confirmed by the Guinness World Records organization, that would smash the record of 306 revolutions per minute that was set by a 26-year-old Russian in 2006.

The record would not mean that she spun 342 times in a minute, but that she made at least one spin at an equivalent speed.

Wish I had a video to link but I don't see one. There is some video on this page: http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/n-s-sk...evolutions-per-minute-1.2201486#ixzz3PbCkvian
 
Woke up facing the window this morning and a single bright dot was in the sky. I fired up Star Chart on my phone to figure out what it was. It was Capella.

Capella is not a star. It's four stars (two binary systems) and the two main stars orbit each other at a distance of about 100 million kilometers. For comparison purposes, Earth is about 150 million kilometers from the Sun.

Tiny little dot in the sky.
