Terraforming: It Won’t Be Quite Like the Movies at First When you think of astronauts on Mars, what comes to mind? Did you picture a red planet turning green with time and continued human colonization? Unfortunately, those days are far in the future, if they even happen at all. During the interview, Davis explained, “Terraforming has a connotation of humans making another planetary body, like Mars, Earth-like. But really, it’s about humans changing their environment to make it more supportive o..>> view originalBiggest X-ray laser in the world generates its first laser light

In the right foreground, a Jupiter-mass planet is shown orbiting its parent star at the outside edge of an asteroid belt. In the background can be seen another narrow asteroid or comet belt plus an outermost belt similar in size to our solar system's Kuiper Belt. The similarity of the structure of the Epsilon Eridani system to our sola..>> view originalHumpbacks Block Killer Whale Feeding Frenzy in Wild Video
A pod of killer whales is stalking baby grey whales off Monterey Bay in California, but a patrolling group of humpback whales is doing everything in its power to foil the killer whales' attacks. At this time of year, gray whales and their calves are making their way up the California coast as part of their annual migration from Mexico to Alaska. A bounty of young, harmless grey whale calves is an irresistible lure for the top ocean-predators.

A 300-foot-wide rift in Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf, as seen in November 2016. John Sonntag/IceBridge/NASA Goddard Space Flight Center A crack in Larsen C, one of Antarctica's largest ice shelves, could shed a block of ice twice the size of Rhode Island. The crack recently split in two and forked northward. When the ice calves, more ice behind the block could destabilize and push into the sea. A slab of ice nearly twice the size of Rhode Island is b..>> view originalStephen Hawking Will Show How Humans Can Move Planet in 100 Years
