“If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before,” said Stephen Hawking in 2008. The interplanetary migration of our species has been a stimulating prospect for ages, and, as technology is advancing by the minute, we are only getting closer to its realization. For this prospect, Mars is the sole candidate. There are many reasons why this is so, and there are many reasons as to why we should undergo the colonization of Mars now. But

Even though the bomb had successfully gone off, no significant structural damage took place. This did end up causing wide spread fear of terrorism though. The final fear that made the 90’s such a memorable era was the Hubble Space Telescope failure. After years of design, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched into space. The telescope ended up faulty though with unfocused lenses. This made the multimillion-dollar project almost a complete failure. In solution though, new lenses were able to be sent

An example of a “Renaissance man” is Leonardo da Vinci, he was an artist, inventor, and scholar. In this time period, there are still many of these well-rounded individuals who live multi-tasking lives. The criteria for a current “Renaissance man” would be they have excelled at more than one thing in their lifetime. They would also have to be good at things that are not in the same category, for example if you can direct, star, and do the lighting for a play, then you should not be considered a “Renaissance

In 1609 Galileo modified a three-powered spy glass; although Galileo did not invent the first telescope, his high quality modifications were well known and very popular. His alterations helped clarify the idea that the earth and planets revolve around the sun as opposed to the other way around. This powerful telescope, for its time, also helped astronomers see that there was a vast universe with a myriad of stars just waiting to be discovered (“The First Telescopes”). Just as Columbus’s discoveries

You all know about the discovery of North America by the European explorers, yes? But did you know that the Europeans were NOT the first ones to sail to the unknown lands that we live in now? It was ancient people, like the Vikings, for example. While we could say that it was discovered twice, that would be dumb. There was simply a lack of communication. So with that in mind, the whole point of this is: Discoveries can never be truly repeated. We’ve seen so many things, and we have records of discoveries

The article printed in the Nature News on June 18, 2015 describes the first look at the first generation of stars that give way to the universe. These stars, most likely from the late developing cluster of the first generation of stars, are strong evidence of primordial stars. Primordial stars are stars that are considered the original stars of the universe, and the precursors to the rest of the stars and celestial bodies in the universe. David Sobral and his team at the University of Lisbon led

Space Infrared Telescope Facility but later the named was changed in the honor of Lyman Spitzer Jr., who was a renowned astrophysicist, who also was the first person who propose the idea of having a large telescope in space and helped develop the Hubble Space Telescope. August 25, 2003, at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Pad, NASA launched the Spitzer space telescope into space for the mission Orbiter. Although this telescope was launched at NASA it was not launched by a Space Shuttle

What we call photography is limited by the fundamental thing it relies upon, light. What we call light is but one part of a much wider spectrum, electromagnetic radiation. As humans we are only able to see but a part of this spectrum. Some animals can see a wider spectrum of light, ultraviolet and infrared for example. This ability to see what we cannot, can be mimicked in photography through specialist films, such as infra-red and ultraviolet film. By limiting photography to just what we, as humans

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP... SLAM! Imagine you wake up to the vexing noise coming from your alarm. Stress fills your body head to toe because there is a big meeting at your work tomorrow that will decide the fate of the company, and you have to pitch ideas about how to save it. The reason you are stressed is not presenting, but simply because you did not write a single word for the meeting. The day of the meeting knocks at the front door, but you don't open. Instead of working yesterday, you goofed
