Description:
On April 11, 1960, astronomers began the first scientific experiment that would search for extraterrestrial life.<br/><br/>Known as Project Ozma, this experiment looked for interstellar radio transmissions coming from other star systems. This was the first time that radio astronomy was used to look for aliens. The effort was led by an astronomer named Frank Drake at Cornell University. He used an 85-foot telescope at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia to check out two nearby stars called Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. He first pointed the telescope at Tau Ceti, but he didn't detect any signals. When he pointed the telescope at Epsilon Eridani, he did see a signal, but it turned out to be a false alarm. He later found out that the signal was created by military radar equipment and was definitely not aliens.

_how-lab-grown-diamonds-are-made-the-process-and-environmental-impact.webp "Lab-grown diamonds are created through a cutting-edge process that mirrors the natural formation of diamonds beneath the Earth's surface. Using either High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) methods, scientists replicate the extreme conditions necessary for diamond growth in a controlled laboratory setting. These methods involve either subjecting a diamond seed to intense pressure and heat or using a carbon-rich gas to deposit layers onto a substrate, resulting in the formation of a diamond crystal over time.<br/><br/>One of the key advantages of lab-grown diamonds is their minimal environmental impact compared to traditional diamond mining. By eliminating the need for large-scale excavation and reducing the energy and water consumption associated with mining, lab-grown diamonds offer a more sustainable alternative. Additionally, they bypass issues related to unethical labor practices and the potential for conflict diamonds.<br/><br/>Overall, the process of creating lab-grown diamonds showcases the intersection of science, technology, and sustainability, offering consumers a responsible and eco-friendly choice without compromising on the beauty and brilliance of natural diamonds.")

Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production")
