Large-Scale Study Finds Ground Coffee Linked to Longer Lifespan

While exercising, getting enough sleep, and limiting alcohol intake are good ways to increase longevity, experts have discovered you can also drink yourself to longevity with the help of coffee. Research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, on Sep. 27, observed that amongst 450,000 adults with an average age of 58 over a…


LIVE: The Plan to Block the Sun With Chemical Trails from Airplanes, Space Bubbles, and More

As a move to fight against alleged climate change, researchers are developing technologies to block sunlight from reaching the earth’s surface. This includes a program from Harvard, financed by Bill Gates, to spray chemicals into the earth’s stratosphere that would mimic the effects of ash clouds from a volcanic eruption. Other programs include the use…

NASA Moon Rocket Back in Hangar, Launch Unlikely Until November

NASA’s moon rocket returned to the safety of its hangar Tuesday as Hurricane Ian approached Florida, its launch now unlikely before mid-November. Instead of trying to send it on its first test flight, the launch team moved the 322-foot rocket off the pad at Kennedy Space Center. The four-mile trip took all night. NASA official…


Scientists Say Tonga’s Volcanic Eruption Released Record Amount of Water Vapor Into Stratosphere

The violent eruption of an underwater volcano near Tonga in January blasted a record amount of water vapor into the atmosphere, but not all scientists agree about the exact amount. Tonga was hit by an underwater eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano and subsequent tsunami on Jan. 15, which wiped out an entire village on one…


NASA’s DART Spacecraft Successfully Hits Asteroid in Historic Test of Planetary Defense

NASA’s asteroid-deflecting DART spacecraft successfully struck a football stadium-sized asteroid in a historic test of the world’s first planetary defense system, designed to prevent a cosmic doomsday collision with Earth. “IMPACT SUCCESS!” NASA declared on Twitter after the spacecraft, flying at 14,000 miles per hour, struck “Dimorphos” on Monday at 7:14 p.m. ET. The U.S. space agency…


NASA Delays Moon Rocket Launch Due to Potential Hurricane

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—NASA is skipping next week’s launch attempt of its new moon rocket because of a tropical storm that’s expected to become a major hurricane. It’s the third delay in the past month for the lunar-orbiting test flight featuring mannequins but no astronauts, a follow-up to NASA’s Apollo moon-landing program of a half-century ago….


Approaching Storm May Delay Launch Try for NASA Moon Rocket

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—An approaching storm threatens to delay NASA’s next launch attempt for its new moon rocket, already grounded for weeks by fuel leaks. A tropical depression in the southern Caribbean is moving toward Florida and could become a major hurricane. Managers on Friday declared that the rocket is now ready to blast off on…


Improving Electric Vehicles: Researchers Develop New High-Speed Motor

A team of researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has developed a new record-breaking high-speed motor that could improve the range of electric vehicles (EV). The new motor is the fastest Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) that has ever been built with commercialised lamination materials, achieving speeds of 100,000 revolutions per minute, doubling…


Saudi Arabia Plans to Send Female Astronaut to Space in 2023
