If you could look down on the solar system plane from above on May 21, 2021, you'd see that the sun, Earth and Jupiter form a 90 degree angle in space, with our planet Earth at the vertex of this angle. The Lunar Crater Radio Telescope is now moving into Phase 2 of development. It'll be built by robots, into a ...

On May 5, 2021, a team of scientists announced new research from the northern shores of Lake Malawi in eastern Africa, providing the earliest evidence to date of a more subtle – but equally powerful – form of human mastery over fire. Part of the evidence is archeological, dense clusters of stone artifacts dating as far back as 92,000 years ago. Part is ...
