Woo-hoo! Finally, it's my year!
The 117th annual Golden Dragon Parade was held Saturday, Feb. 13th, along North Broadway in Chinatown to ring in the Chinese New Year. 2016 is the "Year of the [Fire] Monkey." Here are photos by LA Weekly's Levan TK.
While Los Angeles is a Latin American (L.A.) stronghold, it has a sizable and vibrant Asian community, many Asian communities. Even a parade celebrating Chinese and Buddhist culture in the shadow of the L.A. skyline is sure to have many Mexican-American and Latin American participants. Note the Mexican caballeros (cowboys) riding in the parade, Latina/o youth participating in holding up a good luck dragon, and social and civil rights being celebrated. One hundred and seventeen years of celebrating, and most of Los Angeles is probably not aware it went off on the eve of Valentine's Day. This city's very diverse.

In the good old days, Bruce Lee would help Jackie Chan "Enter the Dragon" (Alex Cole).

Rocky planet where it rains rocks

On Earth, strange things, including frogs and fish, sometimes fall from the sky, but on a distant extrasolar planet, the weather could be even weirder: When a front moves in, small rocks rain down on the surface, a new study suggests.

The exoplanet, COROT-7b, was discovered in February by the COROT space telescope launched by the French and European space agencies. Last month it became the first planet outside our solar system to be confirmed as a rocky body — most other known exoplanets are gas giants.

The planet is nearly twice the size of Earth and about five times the mass of our world. Calculations have indicated it has a density about that of Earth's, which means it is likely made up of silicate rocks, just as Earth's crust is. More>>
