For humans on Mars, the best radiation shield may be a deceptively rustic mix

Posted by in categories: health, space

Radiation may be the biggest threat to humans living on another planet.


To ensure astronaut health and safety, scientists are investigated several means of radiation protection. The optimal mixture is surprisingly rustic, they find.

Royal Caribbean wants to add Elon Musk’s Starlink high-speed internet to its cruise ships

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, internet, satellites

Elon Musk said deploying Starlink at sea ‘will be relatively easy.’

SpaceX’s Starlink internet is living up to its billing as a service that will be available almost anywhere on Earth, including in the air and out at sea.

That’s because the satellite internet service may soon be available for passengers aboard Royal Caribbean Group cruise ships, according to a blog post from the company.

Earth’s Core Is ‘Moving Under Our Feet,’ Switching Direction Every 6 Years, Scientists Say

Posted by in category: futurism

Nuclear explosions helped scientists triangulate the rate and extent of the oscillation.


Scientists have long postulated that Earth’s core doesn’t just spin—it spins faster than the surface does. But in new research published last week in Science Advances, a pair of experts from the University of Southern California (USC) say the core travels more slowly than the outer surface of Earth, and even changes directions about every six years. This movement pattern indicates that Earth’s core actually oscillates, turning decades of science on its head.

“The inner core is not fixed—it’s moving under our feet, and it seems to going back and forth a couple of kilometers every six years,” John Vidale, a USC earthquake researcher involved in the new work, explains in a press release.
