Why The U.S. Should Stay In The Paris Climate Agreement
The big news from the United Nations climate meeting that concluded in Marrakech on November 18 is that more than 190 nations, with or without the U.S., are united in their determination to push forward with the Paris Agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions and keep climate warming to well below 2 degrees C. The Paris Agreement came into force on November 4th, long before most observers anticipated as more than the required 55 nations accounting for more than 55 percent of global emissions m..>> view originalNASA, ESA experts insist successful Mars mission decades away

NASA Team Claims 'Impossible' Space Engine Works—Get the Facts
A prototype of the EmDrive, as seen in a test chamber at a NASA lab Photograph courtesy AIAA After years of speculation, a maverick research team at NASA’s Johnson Space Center has reached a milestone that many experts thought was impossible. This week, the team formally published their experimental evidence for an electromagnetic propulsion system that could power a spacecraft through the void—without using any kind of propellant. According to the team, the electromagnetic drive, or..>> view originalDear Science: What's the best way to cook a turkey?
By Rachel Feltman and Sarah Kaplan November 21 at 11:00 AM There is one scientifically superior method, if you dare say it. (Gillian Brockell,Sarah Kaplan/The Washington Post) Dear Science, I've been trying for years to find the ultimate Thanksgiving turkey recipe, but I've yet to find the best way to cook a holiday bird. After hours and hours of cooking, I end up with mostly dried-out meat and a center that barely cooks in time for dinner. What's the best way to keep a turkey juicy a..>> view originalNASA's Dawn Probe Finally Captured Alien Life Forms?
NASA's Dawn probe captured stunning new images of bright spots in the little planet of Ceres. Reports have it that they didn't see the Little Prince in those spots as scientists believe that it is a crater with briny materials that are bubbling up. The probe somehow went higher into the small planet to capture a different angle and it snapped an image of the clearest view of Ceres, Gizmodo reported. What the images revealed are the Occator Crater and the planet's interesting bright surface look..>> view original[ November 21, 2016 ] US military communications satellite moved to pad for Dec. 7 launch into space Delta 4

The extent of sea ice surrounding the Arctic and Antarctic regions are both at record lows for this time of year — marking the first time scientists have simultaneously tracked record low ice levels around each of the planet’s poles.Scientists say the below-normal sea ice extent — a rough measurement of the surface area of ice-covered ocean — in the Arctic is particularly worrisome because it is a strong indication of the effects of climate change.
