It’s common knowledge that you should never look directly at the sun. But, like, what about during an eclipse? Surely you can look then?

How concerned are scientists about the Larson C ice shelf calving its most recent iceberg? Archeologists have also found new evidence that confirms earlier dates for the existence of ancient Australian humans.

Considering how massive our universe is, we know the distances to cosmic objects surprisingly well. What tools and clues do scientists use to measure distances that are so enormous they sound like made-up numbers?

Everyone is watching the sky during a solar eclipse, but but if you look down, you'll catch another kind of light show.
