Evolution of the Moon
We’ve known the Moon as it is currently for our entire lives. That’s what the Moon is to us, the speckled, shady rock in the sky. It’s interesting to think, though, that it hasn’t always been that way. This video gives us a very interesting representation of how Moon turned f[...]

This is truly the next step for air travel. They’ve figured out a way to massively cool the air going in to a jet engine so that the engine doesn’t have to account for any overheating. This means they’ve basically taken the leash off of what jet engines are capable of and given the[...]

What Earth would look like without water.
These hypotheticals are always fascinating to me. I don’t know the specifics, but clearly in this hypothetical, life would change dramatically for us, most likely resulting in this planet no longer being able to sustain life. It’s very interesting to see, though. Kind of reminds me of th[...]

Capturing light with high-speed photography.
I’m always fascinated by high-speed (super slow-mo) videos, as I’m sure many of you are as well. It’s just so interesting to see the way things work and react in a way that is impossible to tell with the naked eye. Not surprisingly, there are many scientific benefits that go along [...]
