Today, Chris Hadfield, Canadian astronaut and the commander of Expedition 35 on the International Space Station, tweeted pictures of a huge piece of debris that he captured on film floating near ISS. Upon closer inspection, the object…

Doctor Evil’s two-headed shark discovered in Gulf of Mexico
Researchers confirmed last week that the two-headed shark discovered in the Gulf of Mexico on April 7, 2011, was indeed a single shark with two heads and not a conjoined twin. The specimen was found by a fisherman in the uterus of a pregnant female shark near the Florida Keys. It is the first confirmed…
Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket engines recovered from floor of Atlantic
Two of the five Saturn V rocket engines that powered NASA’s July 19, 1969 Apollo 11 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, has been recovered from the Atlantic ocean floor in an expedition sponsored by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. The rockets, which had a shelf life of only 165 seconds, were jettisoned into the waters…
De-extinction for the first time – bizarre extinct frog species brought back from the grave
Rheobatrachus silus, the gastric-brooding frog, is different from most other frogs – it gives birth from its mouth, swallowing eggs to hide in its stomach until they’re ready to hatch then spitting out live baby frogs. Sadly. the frog was last seen in the wild in 1979 and became extinct a few years later. Luckily,…
NASA warns of powerful radioactive solar blast heading directly towards Earth
NASA has warned that a massive, radioactive solar blast is heading towards Earth, screaming in for a direct hit at 900 miles per second. The event, called a coronal mass ejection, or CME, while not occurring as frequently as solar flares, is still common. What is not so common, is for the projected particles to…
New study goes back 11,300 years to chart Earth’s global temperature changes – things just got worse
A new study published by Science reconstructs global temperatures further back than any previous study, going back a whopping 11,300 years to study historic global temperature changes in the Earth’s atmosphere. The most notable study prior to this was Penn State University’s 1999 study which used tree rings to show a massive uptick in temperatures…

Mars Curiosity rover drills hole in Mars for the first time – powder samples collected for testing
The Mars Curiosity Rover has drilled a hole in Mars for the first time yesterday. Curiosity used the drill at the tip of its robotic arm to drill a small .8 inch (2 centimeter) hole into the Martian rock affectionately named “John Klein”. The so-called “mini-drill test” marked the first time Curiosity used both the…
New impact debris measurements nail Giant Asteroid impact to within 11K years – precisely when dinosaurs disappeared
Paul Renne, a geologist at the Berkeley Geochronology Center (BGC), along with colleagues from U.C. Berkeley as well as researchers from the UK and Netherlands, has resampled radio-isotope measurements from impact debris. It has been over two decades since the debris was analyzed to determine the impact date that theoretically doomed the dinosaurs. The new…
Biologist to tag 1,000 wood ants with tiny radio receivers in order to track and map ant behavior
Samuel Ellis, a biologist from the University of York, is about to begin a mufti-year project which will involve the radio tagging of over 1,000 hairy wood ants with tiny radio receivers. The project will be one of the largest radio-tagging experiments of insects in the wild. Each hairy wood ant, which are about one…
