After three decades, and the purchase of Lucasfilms by Disney, the next Star Wars adventure, Episode 7, is being released. Star Wars:The Force Awakens is being heralded as a wonderful new sequel with all the adventure and power of the original three. This review says it delivers. Star Wars was and is an art form that imitates life as we are coming to know it in the 21st Century. Two more episodes, 8 and 9 are in the offing as well. May the Force be with us all!
At the recent Istanbul Security Conference (Dec. 3-5), a Saudi royal HRH Princess Basmah Bint Saud bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, daughter of King Saud & granddaughter of King Abdel Aziz (founder of the modern state of Saudi Arabia), spoke out against chemtrails and geoengineering.
Were the Apollo moon landings faked by the government to gain political advantage at a time when it was not technologically possible to land a man on the moon then bring him home safely? Many alternative researchers and skeptics of government and cultural narratives have put together a substantial and rather captivating case that the moon landings were faked with the help of emerging television and film technologies.
A comprehensive pair of reports by dozens of researchers convened by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) offered “a damning critique of geoengineering,” according to Tim McDonnell of Mother Jones. Highly controversial, geoengineering refers to technological efforts to counteract global warming by altering the atmosphere’s chemical composition.
Learn why China’s pollution is doing more than just harming China and why you should care!
Scientists believe they may have caught a glimpse of a parallel universe bumping up against ours. They’ve seen hints in signals from the most distant points of the universe that suggest the fabric of our universe has been disrupted by another incredibly different universe.
No significant radio signals were detected in observations carried out from the Allen Telescope Array between October 15-30th (nearly 12 hours each day)
In February 2015, Tim Radford reported for the Climate News Network that atmospheric warming is capable of reaching thousands of meters below Greenland’s massive ice sheet, potentially increasing the glaciers’ rate of flow and creating pools of “meltwater” trapped below the ice. Two separate but related studies confirmed that surface melt can drain down to fill concealed lakes under the ice, ultimately contributing to rising sea levels.
The image of a huge asteroid that made a Halloween flyby of Earth yesterday looks so much like a skull, it’s scary.
A spooky asteroid will invade the Halloween sky as it passes close by Earth, just a little over 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) from the orbit of the moon
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope is tasked with finding small, rocky worlds orbiting distant stars.
Jupiter is the first to get its new close-up, and the new ultra-HD 4K images have revealed some interesting new features, including a rare wave just above the planet’s equator, and a stringy feature in its Great Red Spot.
The uptake of water by contrails in ice-supersaturated air and the release of water after ice particle advection and sedimentation dehydrates the atmosphere at flight levels and redistributes humidity mainly to lower levels. The contrails impact the entire hydrological cycle in the atmosphere by reducing the total water column and the cover by high- and low-level clouds.
The debate over whether or not US astronauts landed on the moon will finally be put to rest.
Scientists are to send two spacecraft to knock an asteroid off course, as part of a practice for what they would do if a rock was threatening the future of humanity.
