Find all the summer stars with this panoramic video

Many of us take time in the summer to get away from it all, and that happens to be the perfect place for some stargazing. "Skunk Bear," NPR's science show, explains how to find the most prominent constellations in the Northern Hemisphere's summer sky.

Phil Moore/AFP/Getty Images To global health advocates, there’s no breastfeeding debate: 'It becomes a matter of life and death' The U.S. appeared to push back aggressively on a World Health Organization resolution this week, but experts say that using formula is rarely necessary — and that in many parts of the world, it can be deadly for babies. That can be because of unclean water supplies or because the cost of formula leads poor mothers to overdilute it. And because babies get so much from breast milk, researchers say it’s the best choice even for very sick or malnourished mothers. Facebook Twitter AP The military said it needed their skills and offered a shortcut to citizenship. Years later, that is being yanked away Dozens of immigrants have been discharged from the Army in the past few weeks, with little or no explanation. Hundreds more are jammed in processing as layer after layer of security checks have been added to the program. “The solution is, 'Let's just get rid of these people because it's too much trouble to process them,' " says a retired soldier who helped create the recruitment plan. All this comes despite the military still desperately needing the immigrants' language, medical and technical skills.

We have Netflix now, but it’s still nice to get away from the bright lights and look out at the universe. Adam Cole of NPR’s Skunk Bear science show demonstrates how to use Ursa Major to find some of the Northern Hemisphere's most brilliant constellations. He’ll tell you a few of the old tales as well.

While he says they did arrange some adoptions, it mostly amounted to intimidating women and providers making what he now views as difficult personal decisions. "I live with regret. I remember women — some of them quite young — being very distraught, very frightened, some very angry. ... I became very callous to that."

A week ago, the country’s leaders met, embraced and declared an end to hostilities, and a new era of connection and cooperation. Residents of the long-divided neighbors were overjoyed. Some grabbed the phone and rang up random people on the other side of the border just to celebrate together.
