Scientists discover molecules that store much of the carbon in space
A team led by researchers at MIT has discovered that a distant interstellar cloud contains an abundance of pyrene, a type of large, carbon-containing molecule known as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). The discovery of pyrene in this far-off cloud, which is similar to the collection of dust and gas that eventually became our own solar system, suggests that pyrene may have been the s
Google educates users about the moon cycle with new Doodle game
Google is educating users about the lunar cycle with its latest interactive Doodle released Thursday. The Doodle commemorates October's last Quarter moon - better known as a half moon because of its half-full appearance - before the Waning Gibbous phase culminates in the New Moon. A smiling, half-lit moon winks above the Google search bar. The lunar cycle is illustrated at the
