When did life start on Earth and how do they know? Life on Earth is believed to have originated around 3.5 billion years ago, as evidenced by the discovery of microfossils and biomarkers in some of the oldest rocks on the planet. These rocks, found in places like Western Australia, provide...
"How gold, orange, or red the moon appears during a total lunar eclipse depends on how much dust, water, and other particles are in Earth's atmosphere"according to NASA scientists. Other atmospheric factors such as temperature and humidity also affect the moon's appearance during a lunar ecli...
Though scientists warn that global warming will likely continue for centuries because of the long natural processes involved, there are a few things we can do to decrease the effects. Basically, they all boil down to this: Don't use as much of the stuff that creates greenhouse gases. On a...
Adding solar panels for solar energy generation to an existing home can be expensive — but there are lots ofother waysto make your home greener. How Silicon Makes Solar Panels Electrical workers in a boat check solar panels in 2021 at a photovoltaic power station built in a fishpond in Haia...
The benefit of this setup, however, is that a teleconverter is much cheaper than a high-focal-length lens. Do I need a tripod for moon photography? Now that we have covered the basics of being close up to the moon, we have a tricky situation on our hands. Such focal lengths make ...
Birds are one of the world's smartest creatures and choose the most suitable place to perch. Places near rivers, seas or wetlands where there is abundant food to forage are good choices for them. Zhongshan City in south China's Guangdong Province sits in the south of...

A relational database has its uses, but a knowledge graph is much better suited for use cases that involve relationships. As our world (and, therefore, our data) becomes increasingly connected, these use cases are becoming increasingly common. Knowledge graphs, typically built on a graph databas...
will connect theIntuitive MachinesNova-C lunar lander with two vehicles:Lunar Outpost’sMAPP rover, and Intuitive Machines’Micro-Nova hopper. But the successful testing of this small network will set the stage for much more sophisticated and expansive networks on future missions to the M...
