You will need all afternoon to fully explore The Field Museum. We explored all of the exhibits when we visited and the Antarctic Dinosaurs was definitely our favorite. I never knew that there were dinosaur fossils under all that ice. Antarctica is on our bucket list so it was really interest...
In contrast, thermophilic (heat-loving) bacteria have been found in hot springs where temperatures exceed the boiling point of water. Living cryptoendoliths (green, black, green-blue lines) in a rock sample from Antarctica (left) and a thermophilic, rod-shaped bacteria (about 1 micron long) ...
So far, we have tried to make contact with Mars 40 times. The former USSR led the first five missions, which took place from 1960 to 1962. All the missions were flybys of the planet, meaning that vessels were to orbit Mars to send back images. Those missions were all failures; either...
How many minerals are found in the Earth's crust? How many rock-forming minerals make up the Earth's crust? How many minerals are there on Earth? How much does the Earth's crust weigh? What are layer silicate minerals? How many different minerals have been identified in the Earth's cru...

Humans have never experienced a mass extinction event, and if one happened, there’s a reasonable chance it would end the human race—either because the event itself would kill us (like a collision with a large enough asteroid), or the effects of an event would (like something that ...
because it would take so darn long. And usually our economic basis of doing this sort of activity requires a two-year time span for delivery of goods, so unless we start thinking very far out, like the Japanese, but hyper-cubed, then we really have to think of, well, why would we ...
