Can You Really Buy Land On The Moon?
Landing on the Moon created contentious claims that you could actually land on the Moon. Owning land on the Moon can be done through several firms who sell plots at various locations on the Moon, and who keep detailed records of these claims. These companies claim that the sale of ownership right is legal. Let us examine these companies claims, the debate surrounding their claims and the law that exists to support those claims. Read more
Migration To The Moon – Is it in your future?
Space has always held a fascination for humans. Galileo and to NASA, we will always want to explore the stars. Besides our desire to explore, we crave science fiction in writing and film. Isaac Asimov is on of the most prolific writers of our time and we wonder what first contact will be like and if there are other species in space. Read more
The Study of Fossils
The study of fossils is an important activity as this gives researchers a peek at what kind of life was hosted on Earth millions of years ago. Its study is a science that is known as Paleontology. This is an important step in the proper understanding of the history of the planet. Read more
Mama Tiger Raises Orphan Pigs
These pictures were taken in a California zoo. A tiger gave birth to triplet cubs and the cubs died. After her babies died she started to get really sick acting and they thought that she was probably real sad over the loss of her babies. The animal doctor thought that if she had another baby to take care of she would get better. Since they couldn’t find another tiger cub they decided to dress some little orphan pigs up in tiger costumes made of tiger skin. Read more

Godzilla Snake
Wow! This snake is huge. Fossils from northeastern Columbia are of the biggest snake ever found. This giant was between 42 and 45 feet long and weighed as much as 2,500 pounds. That’s about as long as my school bus. This snake was even bigger than that monster 40-foot snake in that old movie “Anaconda.”
Scientist said that this huge reptile probably ate crocodiles in the rainforest about 58 to 60 million years ago. It doesn’t sound like this snake would make a very good pet but if you could train it no one would mess with you for sure.
Have You Ever Wanted an Exotic Animal?
Gone are the days when the word “pet” usually meant having a dog, a cat, a parrot or a fish. These days, pets also come in the form of snakes, spiders, crocodiles, wolves, bears and animals we used to see only in zoos or on TV. The modern world is also the world of pet owners who prefer the exotic from the typical domesticated creatures of yore. Read more
UPS Flight Safety Record
Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one; a reassurance to those of us who fly. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a ‘gripe sheet,’ which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Read more
Giant Golden Rays in Mexico
Giant golden rays are amazing creatures aren’t they? Don’t you wish you could see them swimming in the ocean as they migrate from one place to another. I sure wouldn’t want to be in the water with them though. These golden rays are a pretty color and huge. A friend emailed several pictures and an article about them. Everyone I have showed this to really thought it was one of the neatest things that they had seen so I wanted you to be able to see this ocean of golden rays too. Read more
Earth’s Magnetic Fields
Have you ever wondered about the earth’s magnetic field? Have you ever used a compass? The earth’s magnetic field allows that compass to work and it also does a whole lot more. The magnetic field acts like a shield protecting the earth from solar particles emissions from the sun. Solar particles are constantly generated and they stream out from the sun going in all directions. During solar flares, large amounts of these particles are generated and this creates huge extremely active particles that speed toward the earth at speeds up to 1000km per second. Read more
