NASA moon mission uncovers water source
In a mission that took roughly a week in early October, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) tested the moon for any signs of water in an ingenious way. By forming a crater near the southern pole and taking pictures, spectrometer readings, and other careful measurements, scientists hoped to discover the presence of water [...]
MRSA goes by many names. Besides being formally known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, it is also sometimes known as a “superbug”—and if that weren’t enough, some say that it can be found not only in locker rooms or hospitals, but, unlike it was previously thought, in the kitchen as well. A July article in Prevention [...]
On Nov. 3, 2009, the voters of the state of Maine were given the superfluous opportunity to essentially alter the lives of their neighbors.
