The blood moon is rising. Throughout the ages, when the moon bled in the sky, civilizations didn't see astronomy. They saw an omen, a warning. The Vikings believed wolves were hunting the moon and had devoured the world's light. In ancient China, people banged drums and lit fireworks to scare away a celestial beast. To medieval Europe, it meant plague or war. Tonight, we uncover the mythology, the...

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth flew out to the carrier on last Wednesday to give the crew the Presidential Unit Citation, the highest honor a unit can receive. The crew of the USS Gerald R. Ford returned in May from a 326-day deployment, the longest for an aircraft carrier in the past 50 years and a post-Vietnam War record. The Lincoln's 322-day deployment was just shy of that. Michigan's Senate ra...

On top of myths and legends about a Great Race and 12 zodiac animals, there's another item on the list this year. An ancient prophecy war...

DNA and RNA are the building blocks of life—and a space probe just found the components to make them on an asteroid. Plus the same sugar your body (and your favorite candy) runs on. Back in 2021, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission scooped up a handful of space dust from a one-in-many-millions asteroid, brought it back home, and now—finally—the truth is in about compounds critical to all life on Earth ended...

Penguins have taken over social media—or at least, one penguin has. The Nihilist Penguin. In the era of TikTok and AI soup, a video from an almost 20-year-old documentary from 2007 is going viral. If you thought the "he's thinking about the Roman Empire" memes were crazy, you're in for a wild ride: from being called "a psychological case study in collective burnout" to highlighting existential que...

When you think of ancient metalworking—you're probably thinking: swords, armor, and coins. Probably not computers. But what if I told you the world's first computer is 2,000 years old, and survived two millennia at the bottom of the ocean? Over 100 years ago, we uncovered a piece of ancient technology so unique and ahead of its time that it could predict the precise, astronomical movement of our s...

The world's first computer is 2,000 years old, and survived two millennia at the bottom of the ocean. Back in the year 1901, an unsuspecting group of divers made the discovery of a lifetime: a treasure-trove shipwreck off the coast of a small Greek Island. It was soon discovered that the coins, art, and marble statues recovered had been condemned to rest on the sea floor for over 2,000 years. But...

Your spidey-sense is tingling—and it has been for thousands of years. It's called intuition, the innate power of the mind that has baffled scientists and philosophers alike for millennia. Some of the world's most successful visionaries credit the quiet superpower with their world-changing ideas. But how do you define something undefinable? What really is this mysterious force? Can it actually be s...

Could a massive solar flare send us back to the Stone Age? Movies and social media posts often suggest that if a solar flare powerful enough snuck up on us, it could mean the end of the world. Are the concerns justified? Or is it all just artistic liberty? What could actually happen to our technology during a massive solar storm? Could a "superflare" really be in our future? And why—for the past t...

There's a lot more going on inside that flowerpot on your windowsill than meets the eye. Some of our most beloved books, movies, and storytelling bring trees to life—literally. Flowers that talk, trees that are sentient, and plants that see. They have communities, know who their friends and families are, and aren't shy about making sure characters like Alice (in Wonderland) and Dorothy in Oz know...

Should you really "trust your gut"? Biology will tell you the brain and gut are deeply connected. But what if gut feelings were more than just nerves?

Sounds crazy—but science might just be able to prove it. And it has everythin...

Are you afraid of the dark? It's a question most of us leave behind when we grow up, or at least, we say we do. Despite holding onto our nightlights more than we may care to admit, something curious happens to the human body when all the lights go out. In the deepest reaches of isolation, can the brain reject even the most profound darkness—and become its own light? Do the human body and brain rea...

And if that wasn't enough, they're completely invisible. They're some of the most bizarre objects in our universe—a favorite source of fascination among astronomers and space enthusiasts alike. Is it because we still understand so little...
