Mercury is an extremely dangerous toxic metal that poses a great threat to fetal and infant development, as well as health concerns in adults. Consuming seafood that is low in mercury levels is essential during gestation, with crab being among those species with relatively lower mercury concentration levels – making it a good seafood choice…
Apollo wasn’t always popular among the general public. Following Apollo 1’s tragic accident that claimed astronauts Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Edward White’s lives, there was widespread public disbelief regarding both its cost and complexity of sending humans to space. NASA was ultimately successful in fulfilling their goal of landing humans on the Moon,…
Spacecraft require vast amounts of energy to move, far beyond what can be provided from burning rocket fuel like you use in your car. Parker Solar Probe currently holds the record for heliocentric speed; however, as its mission extends further away from Earth our frameworks for measurement deteriorate and ascertaining their speed becomes increasingly challenging….
The Sky Blue Octane car is an effective way to express yourself while playing Rocket League, with its simple dragon fire design making it standout on the field. As with any vehicle body, its value can fluctuate based on what color it’s painted in – therefore it’s essential to be informed of its current Rocket…
On July 16, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin embarked on their historic Apollo 11 space mission – both an extraordinary and costly venture. The Planetary Society used data NASA reported to Congress from 1960-1973 in reconstructing Project Apollo costs; these expenses have been adjusted for inflation. The Eagle One of the central tenets of…
Mercury, our closest neighboring planet to our Sun, experiences extreme daytime temperatures that make its surface scorchingly hot. Craters and basins dot its surface, from small bowl-shaped cavities to multiringed impact craters hundreds of kilometers across. Craters on Mercury are surrounded by massive scarps or cliffs that soar over one mile high, as predicted by…
As soon as light enters the atmosphere, it becomes scattered in all directions by oxygen and nitrogen molecules. Due to their natural resonance frequency being closer to blue wavelengths than reddish hues, blue light becomes more readily dispersed throughout the sky than its counterparts. So that is why the sky appears as an intense blue…
People have long been afraid that seeing a red Moon signals the start of an imminent catastrophe, yet this phenomenon simply results from passing through Earth’s umbra (shadow). Umbral light passes through Earth’s gaseous atmosphere and is scattered in green and violet wavelengths that combine into coppery red hues, giving an overall coppery red tint….
Hyenas are predators in the wild that consume birds, insects, small mammals and reptiles as their diet. These big brains have evolved to remember individual voices and ranks of clan members, helping them negotiate the strict social hierarchy without unnecessary conflict. A familiar whoop is used as a signal between clan members to signify that…
