For millennia, our species looked at the Moon as a place that would forever be beyond our reach, but 20th-century technologies finally made our natural satellite accessible to probes, landers, and ev… [+1091 chars]
Jupiter is more than huge. To put it into perspective it is equivalent to 318 Earths or twice the size of all the rest of our solar systems planets combined. If thats not scary enough to think about… [+1169 chars]
Nearly two years since the Mars 2020 mission first launched, the robot astrobiologist known as Perseverance has given us a novel and sometimes surprising look at the Red Planet. Outfitted with a wea… [+9922 chars]
A spiral wave of electrical activity in the heart can cause catastrophic consequences. One spiral wave creates tachycardia -- a heart rate that's too fast -- and multiple spirals cause a state of dis… [+3308 chars]
Once again, life has been found in an environment that would be deeply inhospitable to most organisms living on this planet. Fed by waters that pass through 600 meters (1,970 ft) of permafrost, the … [+4284 chars]
