Climate change is real, and while it’s long-term effects on our planet may not yet be fully understood, science is providing unprecedented insight into the short-term movements of perhaps the biggest factor contributing to our world’s climate issues: Carbon dioxide. Using a combination of satellite data and high-powered computer simulations utilizing predictive atmospheric models, scientists…
Seeing is believing. At least, in 2018 it will be.
The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most successful tools in the history of science, and has engendered unprecedented understanding of how our Universe works, just in the past 2 decades or so that it has been operational. But like most tools of any science, it’s usefulness is coming to an end. And while…

The Cassini space probe, which has been orbiting Saturn since 2004, is about to pass VERY…
