Satellite navigation signals already help cruise missiles to find their targets and hungry motorists their way to the nearest fast-food joint. Now it turns out they can also be used to seek out a valuable resource: water. The fleet of satellites making up the Global Positioning System (GPS) bathes the Earth in weak mic...
The rare gases known variously as 'inert' or 'noble' gases for their stability and resistance to reaction were discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers. They exist in the air, but because they are so unreactive, no-one had previously been able to isolate and identify them. The Scottish chemist Ramsay, an...

B. Geerts and E. Linacre The stratospheric veil of fine dust created by a large volcanic eruption (preferable near the equator) leads to appreciable, but transient cooling around the globe, especially in summertime and at high latitudes, due to an increase of planetary albedo (1)(Note 2.G). However, theory suggests tha...
If you think there might be planets circling other stars, how do you go about discovering them? You can't simply look at them through a telescope. A planet is going to be much fainter than its parent sun. In addition, it will lie very close to it in our sky, and will be lost in the star's glare. This is especially true...
You wouldn't guess it by their appearance—empty slabs of ice drifting slowly through frigid seas—but large icebergs sing with energy.

CRATERS ON THE MOON During the same years, a debate was raging among astronomers about the origin of the craters on the moon.
