History Of Twitter From Twttr To IPO Is Full Of Memories [Infographic]
So many people are quick to bag on Twitter these days. They go on and on about how it's not profitable, how the number of new users is dropping, and how investors are pouring millions of dollars into a social media site that is on the decline. I'm not so quick to pass judgment and count Twitter out ...
Han Solo In Carbonite Was Found On Planet Mercury (Not Surprising)
It's not surprising that Han Solo was found encased in carbonite on planet Mercury. I mean, we see people and faces in stuff all the time. Whether it's Jesus in toast, Elvis in a potato chip, the Virgin Mary in a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich or the man on the moon - it happens. Sometimes it l ...
High Tech Wind Chimes Receive Real Time Solar Wind Data From NASA
It seems as though even something as simple as wind chimes cannot escape the touch of technology. In this case, it's a good thing because these high tech wind chimes are fantastic. They basically allow you to listen to the solar wind in real time. Since there is no sound in space, it's the first tim ...
Scientist From NASA Makes The Aurora Borealis In A Big Glass Jar
I thought it was interesting to learn the origin of the words 'Aurora Borealis' today. The Roman goddess of dawn is named Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind is Boreas. If you've seen the Aurora Borealis, you know it's an incredible light show in the sky. According to the Geophysical Insti ...
3D Printed Airplanes: Around Year 2050 You Could Be Flying In One
People trust that 3D printed body parts are safe enough to be attached to their bodies. People also trust that 3D printed food is safe enough to eat, and that 3D printed parts are safe enough to be used on a car. However, would you trust a 3D printed airplane to fly you safely to your destination? I ...
Mars Rover & Higgs-Boson Nominated For TIME’s Person Of The Year
With the Mars Curiosity Rover mission by NASA and the discovery of the Higgs-Boson particle by CERN, it has certainly been a banner year in science. These two marquee projects came to the fore in big ways this year. They have opened doors to our universe that we could have only imagined a few short ...

Spectacular Space Shuttle Flight Decks [10 Photos]
Every since Neil Armstrong's untimely death last month, space and everything space-related has been a hot topic on the web. I can't get enough of it, and I wish it were like this all the time. These photographs I'd like to share with you today are so incredible, I can't stop staring at them. If you' ...
Dan Winters Space Shuttle Photos May Singe Your Eyebrows
Let’s be honest, humans are suckers for awesome visual illustration and photography. I know I am, and maybe that is why I love Instagram. It pairs images with technology to tell our stories visually. I tell people unfamiliar with the app that I compare it to being a visual twitter. Since curiosity o ...
Whoa! A Saturn V Rocket Created With 120,000 Lego Bricks
When I look at this Lego build, the only word that comes to my mind is WTF. Wait, is WTF a word? I guess it's three words, but that's not the point. The point is that this thing is ridiculously insane in every possible way. Obviously creating Lego builds with over 100,000 bricks is becoming more and ...
The Highest Resolution Photograph Of The Moon Ever Taken
Whoa! I've never seen the moon look like this before! I always thought it was just a big boring blurry blob with a few craters in it. I bet this one picture will inspire school children everywhere to become more interested in astronomy.
This absolutely gorgeous photo is the highest resolution pic ...
NASA’s ’70s Promise: 10,000 People Space Station By The Year 2000
It's amazing how inspired we can become from just watching the major developments in pretty much every area of research and development these days. It's been a technology race for a couple of decades now, and we're seeing stuff being built that we never thought would be possible. We have computers t ...
22 Reasons To Explore Outer Space
I'm completely fascinated with outer space and the universe we live in. I read today that even though many people have always thought the universe was infinite, scientists are on the verge of proving it's finite. However, from a physics perspective, if the size of the universe has always been expand ...
Waste In Space: It’s Not Just Earth That Needs Cleaning Up
I know there is a lot of garbage on earth, that's no surprise, but I never thought about it being in space before. And yes, most of the trash in space is caused by humans. Space debris is commonly defined as nonfunctional, human-made materials in orbit caused by everything from spent booster stages ...
This Is How NASA Imagined Space Stations In 1970
I always get overly excited and impressed every time that NASA launches another spacecraft into space. The force and the technology seems almost dreamish when you see it in its full scale. However, I always get slightly annoyed that they still have somewhat old school interfaces when we see the insi ...
How Marijuana Affects A Spider’s Ability To Spin A Web
Before I tell you about a cruel experiment done with spiders, I want you to know that I don't condone this or any cruelty to animals, even if they are pesky spiders.
Many years ago, NASA performed an experiment where they wanted to test the effects of certain drugs on the behavior of living thing ...
