When most of us think of spiders, we shudder in fear, disgust, or sheer horror. However, while that may be our first thought, the fact of the matter is that spiders are not our enemies. In a very informative article, Matt Bertone an Entomologist who works with North Caroline State University explains something I think everyone needs to...
Perhaps one of the most asked questions by humanity is "What happens after we die?" And while we all have our own opinions, ideas, beliefs, and even close encounter stories, the question remains unanswered. With that in mind, one scientist believes he has the answer, and to be honest, it's kind of shocking. Sean Carrol is a cosmologist...
Recently, astronomers discovered that two supermassive black are currently spiraling towards collision. The closer they get to colliding, the closer they move towards merging into one extremely supermassive blackhole. Caltech-IPAC Based on the theory of relativity, upon colliding, the event will create ripples in space through gravitational waves. This pair of black holes can be found 89 million...
In a beautiful rainbow image, there is a myriad of colors. However, less than 25% of people can see all of the colors, can you? Recently, an image and post went viral after Professor Diana Derval shared a tutorial explaining the basics of color vision. In the test, she goes in-depth to explain different color variations that people...

Fast radio bursts are short flashes of light from space that are unpredictable. Since they were discovered in 2007, scientists and astronomers alike have been trying to better understand them. Flashes or bursts typically only last thousandths of a second, yet have just as much energy as the Sun gives in just one day. Each day, there are...
Recently, China's Yutu-2 rover made a strange discovery on the moon. According to Chinese space authorities, they have found server mysterious glass spheres on the far side of the moon's surface. Their findings were published in a study in Science Bulletin, which describes the globes as being spheres of translucent glass. According to their findings, the spheres are...
Bernardinelli-Bernstein was found during a Dark Energy Survey on accident by Gary Bernstein and Pedro Bernardinelli. They were actually observing the data set collected in 2014 in order to observe other phenomena when they stumbled upon the find of a century. In the midst of their data, they discovered a tiny dot that was moving through the images....
If you didn't know any better, you would likely think that space is a relatively quiet place. However, that couldn't be any further from the truth. On the contrary, space is very loud, with various sounds and signals being detected throughout. While many of these sounds can be explained as the sounds of shifting planets, some of these...
On the Sun, there are massive sunspots, which produce eruptions in the form of coronal mass ejections. When this happens, the Sun will shoot radioactive plasma through space, which eventually makes it into Earth's atmosphere. When this happens, it causes a geomagnetic storm, which can result in power grid disruptions, or worse, depending on the intensity of the...
