Space

Space exploration is something that gets many people excited, but one thing that always dampens the party is the fact that, if we want to keep going, to explore deeper, we’re going to have to come up with a bunch of new technology that helps us circumvent all of the issues with just how vast the...

I’m pretty sure that about 95% of the population could use an extra $500,000, right? The only catch is that you have to be smart enough to figure out a solution to a problem that the literal smartest people on the planet – those who work at NASA – have been poking without success for...

I know the year-that-shall-not-be-named seemed as if it went on and on, and that we limped into the new year hoping things would be different. While that hasn’t necessarily seemed true (at all), scientists say there is at least one big thing about 2021 that’s bound to set it apart from other years – it’s...

Space is expensive. Oftentimes, those expenses, for one reason or another, turn into a whole lot of money down the drain. That’s exactly what happened at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The groundbreaking dish-like telescope unfortunately collapsed when a 900-ton platform hanging over the observatory detached and fell to the ground. The structure is...

We are currently in the middle of a mass extinction event, in which we are in danger of losing hundreds, maybe thousands, species of animals forever. It’s sad to think about, this morbid marking of time passing, of the marks we humans leave on the planet, but recent evidence suggests it’s not a novel event...

You’ve probably noticed that any time scientists find water in outer space, they get super excited about it. Unless you’re a scientist yourself, or maybe a space enthusiast, you might not know why we’re supposed to be so amazed and excited, too, though – and we just can’t stand for that. NASA has always known...

Yes, you actually read that headline right. Science is just getting weirder and weirder. We’re one step closer to actually making the Star Wars universe a reality, since Nokia is about to put a 4G network on the Moon. Soon enough, there will be literally no excuse for any cell service to be bad. In...

Whenever the word “nuclear” is mentioned, some people seem to get a little bit nervous because of the negative connotation it has. But maybe nuclear energy is the ideal component we need moving forward when it comes to concerns about the environment? I really don’t know much of anything about this subject, so I’m gonna...
