In aid of The Hunger Project, we present to you a mini Xmas special episode covering the comic strip 'A Christmas Story' from 1965's TV Comic. Cast Aid is a collective of podcasters helping to end world hunger through music (or something vaguely resembling it). Inspired by the efforts of Bob Geldoff and Midge Ure in the 1980′s, we’re creating a supergroup of podcasters creating alternate, geeky, and parody versions of classic Holiday tunes. All these tracks are available for free or donation. All proceeds will go to charity The Hunger Project, in the spirit of the original Band Aid’s message.

This video takes SDO images and applies additional processing to enhance the structures visible. While there is no scientific value to this processing, it does result in a beautiful, new way of looking at the sun. The original frames are in the 171 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet. This wavelength shows plasma in the solar atmosphere, called the corona, that is around 600,000 Kelvin. The loops represent plasma held in place by magnetic fields. They are concentrated in "active regions" where the magnetic fields are the strongest. These active regions usually appear in visible light as sunspots. The events in this video represent 24 hours of activity on September 25, 2011.

The Gunfighters was about the gunfight at the OK Corral, so surprisingly we're covering the gunfight at the OK Corral in this edition of Drunken History.

Unsurprisingly, this week's Drunken Time Travel Extra is about the joyful subject of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
