Confusion continues over gay marriages
CLANTON, Ala.– Confusion reigns in Alabama over gay marriage, days after the first same-sex wedding licenses were issued in the Deep South state. Probate judges say it’s been a bewildering week of conflicting signals whether to issue those licenses or not.
Probate judges in at least 22 of the 67 counties are issuing the licenses but others are not -- either denying licenses to gay couples or shutting down marriage license operations altogether because the probate judges aren’t sure what to do.
SpaceX launches solar observatory
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX has launched an observatory inspired by former Vice President Al Gore toward a solar-storm lookout point a million miles away.
The unmanned Falcon rocket blasted off Wednesday from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the company’s third try to launch the Deep Space Climate Observatory for NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Air Force. Gore returned for the sunset liftoff.
