A wonderfully beautiful picture taken on the outskirts of the Atacma Desert shows a Geminids meteor falling in a perfectly dark sky above the apparently daylight landscape surrounding the La Silla Observatory (Chile). The picture, appearing to show a night sky in the daytime, is difficult to believe is not two separate images.

The miracle of science – new experimental cancer therapy clears baby girl of “incurable” leukemia after only two months.
One-year-old Layla Richards was suffering from incurable leukemia (a form of cancer). Her parents were told there were no options left to save their baby. Chemotherapy failed. So did bone-marrow transplants. Finally, doctors tried a new form of therapy – they gave Layla “genetically-altered immune cells” that attack the leukemia cells while leaving all of…
Large Hadron Collider may rewrite physics if contact with parallel universe is successful
The staggering complex Large Hadron Collider (aka Atom smasher) in Geneva is already running at its highest level. Thus far, it has discovered the God particle (aka Higgs boson particle) but this week, it could transform our understanding of the universe as well as open up a portal to something, or somewhere, beyond human comprehension.…
Meet death on eight legs – the fierce and awesome Camel Spider was born to give people nightmares.
It has been told that they eat camel stomachs – from the inside out – and are said to scream as they speed across the desert floor, leap incredible distances to chase fleeing humans, and kill people by injecting them with venom then feeding on their bodies as they sleep. Of course, none of this…

Fifty thousand dollars?!? For a snake!?! But Medusa is no ordinary snake. The four-year old Honduran Milk Snake, born in Florida, has two fully-functioning heads. In fact, the owner says the two heads even fight each other for food sometimes.
Here’s what it would have looked like had you been aboard New Horizons as if zoomed past Pluto
As NASA’s New Horizons space probe raced past Pluto, it snapped photos as fast as it could, beaming back pictures to the grinning geeks at NASA. NASA then took the images and created this animated gif showing what it would look like had you hitched a rid aboard the spacecraft. Each second of the movie…
Grab your bathing suits and sunscreen – ocean levels are rising much faster than we thought!
Scientists this week admit that they goofed (again) when estimating the increasing sea levels that result from global warming. If you live in any of the eleven of the fifteen largest cities in the world, you might want to make sure you have a bathing suit handy.
What a sight! Three Category 4 hurricanes pass through Pacific at the same time! (Very rare event)
If the satellite image above doesn’t make your skin crawl then you’ve got eh, skin made of steel. A very rare meteorological event occurred on Saturday when three Category 4 hurricanes plowed through the Pacific Ocean at the same time. The three hurricanes, Hurricane Kilo, Hurricane Ignacio, and Hurricane Jimena [cricket] had all reached sustained…
50 things you can do to help stop global warming (or 50 things you can do to guarantee seaside property after all the icebergs melt).
Global warming is a serious problem and if we wait for governments to propose a solution, it may be too late. In fact, it may already be too late to stop the unnatural warming of our planet. Many think the solution to the global warming problem lies in someone else’s hands but there are things…
Just how fast does a space probe travel? Experience the movement of a space probe without turning to mush!
If you’ve ever ridden in a commercial airplane, such as a Boeing 747 jet, you know the plane is travelling fast (about 550 MPH) but the scenery outside the plane seems to move sooooo slow. An SR-71 Blackbird plane, the airplane the United States government uses to spy on eh, overseas governments, travels significantly faster…
