The infernal heat that planet Earth is facing right now is not just an innocent scorching sun, but has left many consequences in the world. A satellite image launched by Nasa shows that the situation is not the best.

The 1985 film Back to the Future featured “footage from the future” that was pretty real at times, don't you think? Remember flying cars? Well, for now we can't see them in the sky, but soon you will be able to order a taxi service that will take you to the desired address by air. This time, Uber and Nasa joined forces and presented UberAIR, which is expected to fly in 2020.
70 years have passed since the first flight that broke the sound barrier. That's when Charles Yeager piloted the Bell X-1 and made history for all time. Now, after so many years, NASA, in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, is planning a supersonic passenger plane. What is the thing that worries their engineers the most or scratching their brains? Let's see.
Assembling Ikea furniture isn't rocket science. After all, one of the basic guidelines of the Swedish giant is to keep products simple. Because NASA is not. At least that's what we can imagine. So what do NASA and Ikea have in common? So far, nothing tangible, but there has been some smoke between them lately. And where there's smoke, there's fire.
But maybe we'll finally get the Batmobile! At NASA or at her private Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, vehicles for the exploration of Mars are being secretly manufactured.
Are you fascinated by space photography? Then we have great news for you. The American space agency Nasa launched a new website on which it published all its photos and videos taken since 1920.
Whether there is life in the universe is a question that has plagued man for thousands of years. The American space agency Nasa is one step closer to the answer after it discovered substances on one of Saturn's moons (Enkelad) that indicate that there could be life on it, which means that there should also be conditions on it that would could make life possible.
Women have played one of the key roles in the history of the space program. Nevertheless, their stories are too often silenced. Recently, the movie Hidden Figures said something, and now the Danish toy manufacturer Lego is also paying tribute to female astronauts, engineers and scientists and their contribution.
As you probably know, NASA recently discovered seven planets that are remarkably similar to Earth. The US space agency is now looking for names for them, and you can help them. We would name the planets in the Trappist-1 system Grumpy, Giggle, Sleepy, Doubtful, Sweetheart, Earful, and Know-it-all, after the seven dwarfs from the timeless tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. What suggestion do you have?
A planet only 40 light-years away was discovered by NASA with the Spitzer Space Telescope. These orbit the star TRAPPIST-1. Of the seven planets in this system, as many as three meet the characteristics that life could exist on them, or that all the conditions for the formation of life are met.
The film Hidden Figures (2016) is a true and inspiring story about three black female scientists who worked at the American space agency NASA when the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union was at its peak. The film boasts three Oscar nominations, namely for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Octavia Spencer), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture.
In the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey asks Mary if she wants the moon and tells her to just say so and he'll throw a lasso around her and pull her down to Earth. Today it's a little easier, because Sonja Waldraff has made jewelry that is a mini replica of the Moon. How much, as evidenced by the fact that the Mondschatz space jewelry collection was created on the basis of NASA's topographical map of the Moon.
