The Artemis II mission astronauts have released their first video messages from space, giving the public a glimpse of deep-space travel roughly two days into their historic journey. In the crew’s first broadcast, the astronauts describe the stunning view outside Orion’s windows. “You can see the entire globe from pole to pole,” NASA astronaut Reid…
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, born April 3, 1926, in Mitchell, Indiana. As one of NASA’s first seven astronauts, he became America’s second astronaut to fly in space when he launched aboard the Liberty Bell 7 spacecraft on July 21, 1961, just weeks after Alan Shepard’s historic…
We’ve all had that moment when we’re standing in the middle of the Home Depot aisle, looking at a glowing neon-green Ryobi tool at a great price and thinking, “I might as well buy one.” I have a growing selection of Ryobi tools and battery packs throughout my garage, and I’m a huge fan because…
The large rodents were reintroduced in an enclosure at the Lowther Estate near Penrith, Cumbria, in 2020, but Forestry England said its initial expression of interest for a wild release plan in west Cumbria had been successful and it had been invited to convert it into a full application.

Growing up in a suburb of the northern Alberta city of Edmonton, it’s easy to get spoiled by northern lights. While they didn’t necessarily happen often, my parents would occasionally wake me in the middle of the night as a child to see a wild laser light show unfold across the big open skies of…

Solar-power photocatalysis—turning sunlight into energy—holds promise for sustainable and cost-efficient energy and chemical production. Advancing the technology, though, has been hindered by a lack of understanding of exactly how the process works. To that end, a team of Yale researchers has developed a technique that allows them to observe the sunlight-to-fuel conversion in real time,…
A rare “sungrazer” comet is about to pass very close to our star and could become visible in daylight — or it could completely disintegrate before our eyes. Either way, there could be something special to see in the night sky, with a large tail potentially visible late this week. Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) was…
