Studie zu planetaren Grenzen: Der Erde geht die Puste aus
Weniger Artenvielfalt, zu viele Chemikalien und Kunststoffe, zu intensive Abholzung: Sechs von neun planetaren Grenzen sind Forschern zufolge bereits überschritten. Die Widerstandskraft der Erde schwinde. Von Werner Eckert.
I went to space and discovered an enormous lie | Ron Garan
What astronaut Ron Garan saw in space changed his life forever – here’s what it taught him.
A curious phenomenon often occurs when astronauts travel to space and look out on our planet for the first time: They see how interconnected and fragile life on Earth is, and they feel a sudden responsibility to protect it.
My 6-yr old asked one of the BIG questions the other day.
"Daddy, why do we live?"
Knowing that he's being influenced by the ubiquitous #god botherers, I responded:
"Because of #electricity, little buddy. Kind of like the lightbulbs in our house, we all have a #spark in us that runs through our #bodies and #brains. When that spark goes out, we die."
He thought a bit about that, and then came the next BIG question:
"We become a part of the electricity that runs through the entire #planet that let's everything live. Which is super important, because without that electricity, nothing would live."
“Clean your refrigerator coils,” they say, “to #save#energy and the #planet.” Yet to access more than 1% of said coils, one must invert one’s refrigerator, which is a rather big ask. Could we get the Energy Saving People and the Refrigerator Maker People in the same room please? Thanks.
A pair of astrophysicists, one with Kindai University, the other the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, both in Japan, have found possible evidence of an Earth-like planet residing in the Kuiper Belt. In their paper published in The Astronomical Journal, Patryk Sofia Lykawka and Takashi Ito describe properties of the...
