NASA's Juno Probe Sidelined Just Before Jupiter Flyby
NASA's Juno spacecraft has encountered its second problem at Jupiter in less than a week. The probe went into a protective "safe mode" at 1:47 a.m. EDT (0547 GMT) this morning (Oct. 19), preventing the spacecraft from gathering any data during today's ...>> view original2 quake faults in the Bay Area could rupture together, causing major devastation, scientists say
The most dangerous earthquake fault in the San Francisco Bay Area is connected to another, which means both could rupture simultaneously and unleash major devastation, a new study finds.The Hayward Fault has long been considered a threat because it runs under densely populated neighborhoods east of San Francisco. The new study found that beneath San Pablo Bay, it joins with a second, less active underground fracture to the north. Scientists had already considered the possibility of both faults..>> view originalDid the Mysterious 'Planet Nine' Tilt the Solar System?

Europe succeeded in placing a methane-sniffing spacecraft in orbit around Mars today (Oct. 19), but it's still unclear if that probe's piggyback lander made it safely down to the planet's surface as planned. The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), part of the ...>> view originalAccidental discovery could be renewable energy breakthrough
In an unexpected twist of fate, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a process to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol fuel — a breakthrough with implications for the future of renewable energy.That discovery, which occurred in 2014 and has been replicated multiple times since then in the nanotechnology lab Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is explained in full in a new study published in ChemistrySelect.The finding was serendipitous, lead stu..>> view originalThose Ancient Stone Tools — Did Humans Make Them, Or Was It Really Monkeys?
