Watch live as NASA’s Osiris-REx spacecraft attempts to land on an astroid
WATCH LIVE: NASA’s Osiris-REx spacecraft is expected to arrive at a 1,640-foot wide, carbon-rich asteroid named Bennu to collect and return samples in hopes of learning more about the origins of life on Earth and perhaps elsewhere in the solar system.

What Happens When Two Black Holes Collide?
On September 14, 2015, signals from one of the Universe’s most mind-boggling, powerful events produced the tiniest signal in a pair of detectors, one in Louisiana and one in Washington state. They’d detected two already-wild objects, black holes, slamming into one another.
You’re probably familiar with black holes as cosmic vacuum cleaners, but they’re a little bit more complex than that. One core takeaway of Einstien’s theory of gravity is that heavy enough things actually change the shape of the space around them, and gravity is how we experience this warping. Black holes are regions of space so small and massive that they carry a point-of-no-return, an “event horizon” beyond which space is so warped that every path that anything could travel leads to the black hole’s middle. Nothing, not even light, can escape.
Billions of nanoplastics accumulate in marine organisms within six hours
A ground-breaking study has shown it takes a matter of hours for billions of minute plastic nanoparticles to become embedded throughout the major organs of a marine organism.
The research, led by the University of Plymouth, examined the uptake of nanoparticles by a commercially important mollusc, the great scallop (Pecten maximus).
After six hours exposure in the laboratory, billions of particles measuring 250nm (around 0.00025mm) had accumulated within the scallop’s intestines.
