A school-bus-sized object, which has been orbiting in
space at about 5,600 miles per hour since 2014,
crashed-landed on the Moon on March 4, 2022. The
40-foot-long, 3,000-kilogram piece of space debris is
believed to have carved a massive — 60 to
100-feet-wide — hole near the Hertzsprung Crater on
the Moon's far side. However, since the exact impa...
It's St. Patrick's Day! This means you can pinch
anyone not wearing green, go on extensive searches
for lucky, four-leaf clovers, and chase down
leprechauns that lead to pots of gold. For those
wondering how the death anniversary of an Irish
clergyman grew into one of the world's most popular
holidays, here is a brief history.
Holi, the joyous festival of colors, is one of India's
most anticipated events. Though a predominantly
Hindu festival, it transcends all religious barriers and
is observed by people of all faiths. The fun holiday's
date is determined by the Hindu lunar calendar. It
will be observed on March 18 this year.
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began
on February 24, 2022, is showing no signs of
ending. While the brave Ukrainians have thus far
succeeded in keeping the Russian army from taking
over major cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Mariupol, the
war is taking a toll on the Eastern European nation.
Thousands of residential buildings, cemeteries and...
A new material created by Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) researchers is being hailed as
revolutionary. 2DPA-1 is as light as plastic and two
times stronger than steel. Unlike currently available
polymers, it can conduct electricity and block gas.
The scientists believe 2DPA-1 can help lower our
carbon footprint and perhaps even reduce the ram...
On March 13, 2022, most North Americans will mark
the start of Daylight Saving Time (DST) by
"springing forward" an hour. The clock manipulation
will result in the loss of sixty minutes of precious
sleep or leisure time on Sunday. However, it will
allow residents to enjoy longer days during the
upcoming spring and summer months.
The 2022 Paralympic Winter Games kicked off on
March 4, 2022, with a memorable opening
ceremony at Beijing's National Stadium. The
nine-day sporting event, which ends on March 13,
2022, features roughly 564 athletes competing in
78 medal events across six different sports — alpine
skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, sled hockey, ...
A neatly-laid out sequence of five handprints and
five footprints found near the village of Quesang in
Tibet is being hailed as the world's oldest human
art. The fossilized indentations were etched on
travertine — pliable limestone formed by deposits
from natural springs that harden over time. Based
on the dimensions, the researchers believe the foo...
When a group of Rye Junior High School students in
New Hampshire set sail a roughly five-foot-long boat
into the Atlantic in October 2020, they were not sure
what to expect. While some were optimistic it would
wash ashore in Europe, many believed the tiny
vessel, called Rye Riptides, would get destroyed
along the way. On February 1, 2022, the skeptics ...
