Leave Them Alone and They’ll Come Home. May 8, 2013. Another Earth, full of life. The idea inspires awe and wonder, as well as sober reflection on the savage thrashing we give our own blue oasis. These notions are fuel for science fiction. But recent missions have inched Earth-like planets closer to science fact. In 2009, NASA launched the Kepler observatory. An artist’s rendition of Kepler-62f, a Earth-like candidate exoplanet identified by the Kepler Observatory. Thus, these measurements are possible, ...

Birds of a Feather →. November 13, 2013. A plume of magma may explain North America’s odd geology. At the entrance to the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup. A reminder that I live in the Ring of Fire. Earth’s active geologic processes are a blessing and a curse. They help sustain life. Since dinosaurs roamed the Earth. A team from the California Institute of Technology report evidence that eastern North America recently passed over a hotspot. 8220;From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.”. Evidenc...

The Next Generation →. May 12, 2013. You are here… somewhere. 8220;Little lamb, who made thee? And isotope analyses of these water molecules indicate that they share the same chemical signature as water molecules from Earth’s interior. Thus, the Moon’s water came from ancient Earth. Those pesky water molecules within Earth and the Moon are also chemically identical to water molecules from carbonaceous chondrites. An ancient class of meteorites. But all of these mysteries are roughly consistent with a...

Constant as the Northern Star →. Birds of a Feather. March 2, 2014. As we learn in our earliest playground adventures, cheaters are out there trying to exploit the labor of others. Cheaters want to prosper, and sometimes they do. For every Bernard Madoff languishing in prison, there could be another languishing in a Caribbean bungalow. Societies are best served by mechanisms that dissuade cheaters, as the cheater’s gain is the honest man’s loss. That is often easier said than done. Cooperation is the bas...

Birds of a Feather. Constant as the Northern Star. April 3, 2014. Some species struggle to adapt to climate change. Change is afoot. Climate patterns across the globe are shifting as the planet steadily warms. That climate change is occurring is largely a settled issue in the scientific community. The debate has now shifted to questions of degree. How much will climates change? How will climate change impact living creatures? A long-term study published recently in.
