Scientific Minds Want To Know
Europa has only been seen from afar, but its aura of intrigue
has inspired scientists to study ideas as to how to explore the icy
Jovian moon.
We have much in common with rocks.
The origin of the mysterious short-duration gamma-ray bursts
have eluded astronomers for decades, but a recent observation of a
"kilonova" by astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope has finally
nailed down the culprit.
Every 11 years or so, the sun does something quite profound
-- its magnetic field completely swaps polarity. That time has come.
"Making Waves" is a wonderful reminder of the struggles faced
by women scientists in a time when they were so few, and a celebration
of one bright mind that gave us so much.
Galileo invented the modern telescope, but centuries of development preceded that historic day.
After exhaustive computer modeling of the orbit of the
asteroid that hit the atmosphere over the city of Chelyabinsk in
February, scientists suspect the space rock may not have been alone.
