The Titanic is back – and it’s ready to complete the voyage its predecessor attempted over 100 years ago.
The Titanic II, a replica of the original “ship of dreams,” will be setting sail in 2022, following the same Southampton, England, to New York route the famed Titanic tried in 1912.

The elusive Kordylewski dust clouds were finally spotted near the L5 Lagrange Point.
For more than half a century, scientists have debated over the existence of two puzzling celestial objects known as the Kordylewski dust clouds.
These dust clouds were first observed by Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski in 1961 and are thought to orbit our planet around the L4 and L5 Lagrange points — two of the five gravitationally stable locations found in the Earth-moon system.
In early 2020, the FACET-II facility aims to open for use by scientists across the world. Plasma accelerators are compact accelerators that are more affordable. FACET-II will be the upgraded version of the current FACET facility. Where the aim of the upgrade is to get the electron beam brighter by about 100 or even 1000 times. FACET-II will be the home of experiments that will add to medical and x-ray science, and particle physics. Currently, potential users are submitting proposals for experiments they would like to carry out at FACET-II. A program advisory committee will evaluate the proposals and select the most exciting ones with the largest impact in science for the upcoming experimental runs.
