A new study published in Nature suggests building powerful telescopes in Hawaii and Northern Chile might not be such a great idea.
Turns out astronomers choose Hawaii for powerful telescopes because they want to wear shorts and get a good tan.

Researchers say six COVID-19 categories of first-week symptoms can predict ultimate severity of infection.
Researchers at King’s College in London say symptoms developed within the first week of a COVID-19 infection can determine the severity of the infection and the likelihood a patient will require hospitalization.
NASA releases new images that reveal Mars’ rivers in unprecedented detail.
Wow. Check out the picture NASA just released. This photo shows images of a rocky cliff face that was formed by a flowing river more than 3.7 billion years ago. Stunning!
The record for the largest machine ever built by human hands, the Large Hadron Collider, is about to be beaten.
At nearly 17 miles long, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest machine every built by human hands. This week CERN says they are planning to build an even larger super collider – about 4-times bigger than the existing collider.
The mystery deepens – event GW190814, 2019’s epic cosmic collision, continues to baffle scientists and may rewrite what we know about black holes.
LIGO researchers released a detailed analysis yesterday regarding the event known as GW198814. The epic cosmic collision was believed to be a collision between a black hole and a neutron star. Now they admit, they don’t know what the heck happened.
Largest solar flare since 2017 has scientists excited that maybe the Sun is entering a new, active cycle.
The Sun has been really quiet lately. In fact, since late 2017, the Sun’s activity seems to have slowed down. That changed this week when scientists spotted the largest solar flare since October 2017.
You know that asteroid that struck the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and supposedly killed all the dinosaurs? Well it turns out it hit earth at just the right angle for maximum damage.
A new research paper published in Nature journal suggests the asteroid that formed the 66 Ma Chicxulub crater struck earth at just the right angle to create maximum damage. The asteroid’s trajectory was determined by studying “asymmetries int he subsurface structure of the Chicxulub crater” and 3D simulations. According to researchers, the impact direction and…
Crew Dragon launches today! For the first time in nearly a decade, the US will launch 2 passengers into space from US soil.
It’s really happening! Today NASA astronauts will board Crew Dragon. The capsule will travel to the International Space Stations (ISS) as a major test of SpaceX’s new Dragon 2 spacecraft. #NASA #SpaceX #Science
I feel like a kid again. Wednesday’s rocket launch starts groundbreaking new era for US human spaceflight.
It’s going to be a historic event – Wednesday’s launch of a rocket that marks the groundbreaking public-private partnership between the United States and SpaceX. And since we’ve suffered a disappointingly long wait after NASA retired the space shuttle fleet in 2001, well, it’s about time. This week’s mission, formally called SpaceX Demo-2, will launch…
Ultra-rare metallic blue bee spotted for first time in years in Florida.
The shiny little blue bee was observed on a flower “rubbing its head on the top portion of the flower”. This sort of behavior is unusual for most bees but a common characteristic of the blue calamintha bee. It has unusual facial hairs that it uses to collect pollen.
