An interesting article! In Austin, Texas, there were many people with solar panels on their roofs to generate electricity, and some of the electricity for our house was wind-generated from big turbines in West Texas.
The moon is eternally fascinating. I was especially interested in the description in the article of using seismic sensing to learn about how thick the moon's layers are.
An interesting commentary about all the "ripple effects" of the space race, not just in technological things like velcro and freeze-dried food, but in culture as well.
The story of mitochondria starting moving into other cells and just living there is really fascinating, don't you think? When I was in college that was a brand-new theory.
I have been fascinated by fuel cells that promise such clean, efficient energy. This sounds like a very interesting and promising new kind of fuel cell. What wonders the future holds!
This is a very interesting, technical and scientific website. If you continue to refer to this site, I hope you begin to talk more about how the tectonic plates' movements cause the earthquakes.
This is a fascinating bit of news about a comet with such a short period, or return cycle. I was excited to see comet Halley in 1986 but it wasn't very bright. One of my favorite American authors, Mark Twain, was born the year of Halley and died, 76 years later, the year Halley came back.
An interesting historical comparison - I was part of the generation who got some extra science at school because of the "Sputnik Scare." Are we back to students' not getting good science?
Very interesting! I didn't realize there were other cultures besides the Inca at the time of the Spanish conquest. I look forward to learning more about the mysterious circumstances around their death.
I never knew that evidence of feathers could be found from knobs on bones. Do chicken bones have these knobs, I wonder? Thanks for a good summary of an interesting article.
Thanks for writing about what is probably the most important "member" of our solar system in terms of life on earth. I was fascinated to find out that the Sun is actually quite a large star, in the top 10% by mass.
What an interesting idea to use the physical difficulty of climbing Everest as a metaphor, a symbol, and a laboratory to compare with Intensive Care in hospitals.
A very interesting article - I wonder what the next few years will bring in the U.S. for young people. Also I wonder if the whole "virus makes you fat" research we heard about will turn out to be important.
I had not heard of this mission. Sounds very interesting! Personally I think these unmanned expeditions are better science and more cost-effective than our proposed visits by humans to the moon.
What a wonderful use of the site! In my opinion this list really captures the spirit of site and it does so in a natural and fun way. As well, it demonstrates the beauty of knowledge sharing and community collaboration. Keep it up!
