Humanity’s farthest and longest-lived spacecraft, Voyager 1 and 2, achieve 40 years of operation and exploration this August and September. Despite their vast distance, they continue to communicate with NASA daily, still probing the final frontier.

If current trends continue, the Arctic will be ice-free on August 15, 2017. Nobel laureates agree with my conservative forecast.

Progressives worried about climate change and social justice have a message for Prince William and Princess Kate: Stop having children.

CNN recently showcased the world’s first “active laser weapon,” deployed by the Navy.

A so-called seismic zone off the coast of Alaska could trigger deadly tsunamis like the one that caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011, a new study finds.

Adults in the UK who have poor sleep patterns are more likely to be overweight and obese and have poorer metabolic health, according to a new study.

The possibility of alien life on the icy planets and moons in our Solar System could be lower than previously thought, because any water on them will quickly vaporize, according to a new study in Nature Geoscience.

Observations conducted with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have uncovered a young stellar cluster designated NGC 3293. The data provided by the spacecraft reveal insights about its stellar population. The findings were presented July 27 in a paper published on arXiv.org.

Naturally, we have all recently been focussing on EVs, as far as electricity demand has been concerned.

But what about domestic heating and cooking, as RogerJC rightly asks?

German physicists: “CO2 plays only minor role for global climate”

In a just published study in The Open Atmospheric Science Journal here, German scientists Horst-Joachim Lüdecke and Carl-Otto Weiss have used a large number of temperature proxies worldwide to construct a global temperature mean over the last 2000 years, dubbed G7, in order to find out more about the sun’s role on climate change.

Thousands of aging solar panels sited throughout China could trigger an environmental crisis over the next two decades, according to industry experts.

The most powerful exploding stars are popping up in unexpected places, new research indicates. It turns out that these super-bright “rebel” supernovas can form in “heavy metal” areas, using elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, scientists said in the new study.

Australian scientists at the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) ordered a review of temperature recording instruments after the government agency was caught tampering with temperature logs in several locations.

US government scientists work hard to protect the public. Some researchers study infectious diseases and effective treatments. Others ensure that drugs, food, vehicles, or consumer products live up to their claims and don’t harm anyone.

A growing number of researchers think that the sun is actually larger than commonly thought.

Scientists don’t know the sun’s size as precisely as the details of the Earth and moon, making it a sticking point for perplexed eclipse modelers.
