DARPA is at last ready to test fueling up satellites in faraway Earth orbits, to keep those machines working a little bit longer.
DARPA’s (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) long-delayed Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellite (RSGS) demonstrator is slated to launch as soon as this summer, the U.S. military’s research and development group stated in a statement on Wednesday (May…
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray spacecraft has observed a super-bright, supercharged supernova explosion that may have been powered up by a highly magnetic dead star, a type of neutron star called a magnetar. This magnetar would have actually been born in the supernova itself…
In northeastern California lies a series of caves that formed thousands of years ago when volcanoes erupted lava that later solidified, leaving behind tunnels wide enough for humans to walk through. But Earth isn’t the only planet in our solar system with volcanoes —…

This lens is my new choice for panoramas. The Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM is a pro-grade, L-series, ultra-wide prime that delivers impressively sharp images without problematic distortion and flare.
Although modern-day zooms are offering better sharpness from corner to corner…
One Redditor got a big surprise this week, when they checked their rooftop solar app and saw something incredible – their 880 W PV system seemed to break physics by making more than 1,050 W of power!
True to their username, Redditor Full_Analysis_3392 didn’t immediately jump to the conclusion that physics was broken and the Apollo Moon landings were faked. Instead, they started in on the…
