Shooting Stars to Set Your Clock By
The Perseids Meteor Shower only comes around once a year and it is quite a sight to see. Usually. The Perseids Shower will reach its height on August 12th and 13th this year (2022) under rather unappealing circumstances for most viewers, casual or otherwise. The moon will be full.

Space Quest
Space Quest by Stephen Koons Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so the ay. After the vibrant hum of a space motor, the violent landing, a man is relieved to release his safety belt. The stellar push through and among stars, where light seldom shines from a distant sun. Glad to be home, among trash piles albeit. There are men and women happening by the blue and red light districts. They buy Ramen noodles, smoke cigarettes. Women gesture, scantily clad out to passerby’s, soliciting their bodies. Roger Wilco is not so stressed. He has landed, crappily, a space scow, has filled in another workday at a landfill site. He flys overhead, again and again vaporizing garbage. He is a custodian for the business “Clean Sure” , and works every day to maintain cleanliness. He is paid scant wages, deals with the variety of beings, aliens, machines equipped to talk and do mundane things.

Four weird things science can't explain right now
1. In the remote mountain village of Namirore in northern India, There is A man in his 60s named Baya Mitchell. He had been practicing Yoga for more than 40 years. It was said that his body floated over the forest like a demon. Professor Karemans, an American physicist who had travelled around India for many years, decided to visit the "superman". The next day, with the old man's permission, Professor Clemans and others gathered in front of the cottage and set up video cameras and detectors. Baya Mitchell sat cross-legged on a thin blanket in front of her door, her eyes closed. All eyes, video cameras and detectors were focused on Mitchell. About 2 ~ 3 minutes later, I saw his body rose gently, about 10 meters high, he changed the cross-legged posture, stretched out his arms, like the wings of a bird, began to spin and fly. Mitchell seemed to drift into oblivion as he floated in midair. It was a stunning sight. After about 30 minutes in the air, Mitchell's body began to shake, then slowly lowered horizontally. The camera filmed him at every Angle in the air. When Mitchell hit the ground, several scientists noticed that his body had become as soft as cotton. As Mitchell slowly ascended, the detector detected a jet of air blowing from his body to lift him up. It takes a lot of energy for a person weighing 80 kilograms to get airborne. Where does this flow and energy come from? Scientists are scratching their heads.

When humanity perished, plastic still slumbered on the ocean floor!
After entering the 20th century, with the emergence of a class of materials with strong plasticity, a wide variety and superior performance, human life has undergone profound changes. This material is plastic. Our lives are inseparable from plastic products. The alarm clock that wakes you up in the morning, the earphones inserted into your ears during lunch break, the beautiful new clothes you buy... Plastic products are everywhere, and some people even say that the era we live in is "the era of plastic." ". However, while bringing us convenience, plastic also brings a serious pollution situation.

Renewable Energy: The Open Truth.
What is renewable energy? Renewable energy comes from sources or mechanization processes that are replaceable from natural sources if replenished from natural sources. However, the energy provided from renewable energy sources is flow rate limited and are not sufficient per a particular period of time. Take for popular example renewable energy from Solar Panels, Wind Mills, Geothermal energy, and hydroelectric energy power sources. Renewable energy is often revolutionized with clean energy and green energy, since renewable energy produces from natural sources, they do not pollute the environment. It is however important to provide a clear distinction between the three types of energy. The clean energy term means that the energy does not come only from natural sources it can come from a variety of other fossils that do not polute the environment. Carbon dioxide and emissions have to be reduced and are the number key enemy of the climate change revolution agenda. Hydroelectric energy however, can damage and plunge away natural habitats. Renewable energy is the innovation of the century and it currently boomerangs as it brings down energy cost delivery to ordinary citizens. Some countries across Europe and America have implemented this low-cost energy into their timeline, while other countries lag behind across Africa and Asia. The American solar and wind energy generation have been able to break into thousands of homes and impacted the dynamics of energy in modern-day power generation by iterating their reliability and reusability into the electrcity grid without compromising much of natures natural habitats.

Scientists Discover 'Alien World' that Upends Understanding of Life
Could alien life exist? This question has been explored for many years. Before we used telescopes or probes to explore other planets, many people would have assumed that alien life and alien civilizations were common, because we didn't know much about those planets. A very simple example, we humans have thought that recently more than 55 million kilometers from earth, as far as 400 million kilometers of the Mars may be in like the earth's ecosystems, until July 1965, the first successful over Mars probe "mariner 4," returned the first a picture on the surface of Mars, stunned the scientific community. That's because the images from the probe show Mars as a cratered, lifeless world, devoid of life and unlikely to support an intelligent civilization like Earth.
