'Life' in the Lab
Just how life started billions of years ago on Earth, and how it might start on other worlds, are the focus of intensive laboratory investigation.Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
There we go: “a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution” is pretty much how Hawking and Hertog now describe the Universe itself, provides you accept that 'chemical' implies the underlying physics.
The Day Communication Went Global 🌍
Telstar 1, the world's first active communication satellite, was launched by NASA #OTD in 1962. Almost two weeks later, it relayed the first live transatlantic TV broadcast.
