QUESTION: Hello, re: Fauci Under Global Attack I have to disagree with your comment that China did not benefit. I think they had to have been somewhat aware of

Phil Hart Where to look? During a lunar eclipse, the entire night side of Earth can see the eclipse at the same time. However, local timings vary across Australia due to the different time zones. The eclipse begins with the Moon in the east and climbing higher as the event progresses. For Western Australia, the eclipse will start just after moonrise, so the Moon will be low in the sky and you’ll need a clear view of the eastern horizon. But by the time of totality, the Moon wi...

This Wednesday night, everywhere in Australia will have a box seat for a spectacular total eclipse of the Moon.

WHEN we think of the heroes of the current pandemic, frontline health workers and those who work on bringing effective vaccines to market come to mind. But a Scotsman of the cloth and self -taught engineer born in the late 18th century is unlikely to be viewed as a prime candidate. However, many experts believe the refrigeration technology of Robert Stirling, which he first patented in 1816, is making the vaccination programme possible. His work is, apparently, experiencing a renaissance....

Shawyer is currently working on the third-generation EmDrive design. After a widely reported set of recent studies all but killed the controversial EmDrive, the propulsion device’s inventor has fired back by pointing out what he calls critical errors in the research. Who’s who in this cutting-edge scientific mudslinging, and what does the future really hold for the “impossible” EmDrive? ➡ First, let’s briefly recap how we got here. For such a far-out concept, the idea of the EmDriv...
