This is a [crude drawing of a] Hyper Dimensional Resonator, also known as an HDR. Invented in 1985, this device is said to manipulate time and space, allowing its user to embark on strange out-of-body experiences (OBEs).

Actually, these strange circles on Google Maps are exactly that: the result of circle irrigation, a method some farmers use to water crops. You know, by rotating sprinking equipment in a big circle. Better coverage that way, I guess. …
Spanning southern Bulgaria and parts of Greece, the Rhodope Mountains were named after Queen Rhodope of Thrace, a figure of Greek mythology.

Yesterday, CICLOPS (that’s Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for Operations) released a fascinating new image of Saturn titled “A Splendor Seldom Seen.” Courtesy NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, the image was taken on October 17, 2012. As you can see from the ghostly hues, Saturn is backlit by the sun, putting Cassini in the planet’s shadow. Because of …

While John Titor’s first fax in 1998 was devoid of many of the “plot points” found in his later posts online, his second fax, also sent to Art Bell in 1998, was a bit more consistent. In this second fax, we get to the good stuff. The person who wrote it (and it’s never been …
So, do you remember when I wrote about NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, aka the GRAIL mission? Back in February, its twin probes, Ebb & Flow (named by fourth graders at Emily Dickinson Elementary School, no less), gave us a fascinating look at the moon’s oft-unseen far side.

“For decades, scientists have theorized the existence of liquid water oceans on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. We’ve recently discovered new, captivating evidence that these sub-surface oceans do exist and could support life.

While this is effective, its fumes are harmful (“equivalent to smoking 2 packets of cigarettes every day”) and bad for the environment. But without reliable access to electricity, they really have no choice. Martin Riddiford and Jim Reeves, however, hope to …

In 10 days, I’ll stop talking about the Mayan apocalypse. I promise. We’re not there yet, though, so let’s take a look back at all the doomsday stuff we’ve witnessed over the past year, and what’s going on right now. It’ll be…fun? Well, as fun as the end of the world can be.
