Foxes are vital to ecosystems, helping reduce rodent and rabbit populations. However, they can also dig holes in yards, get into trash, tear up fencing, and steal fruits and vegetables from gardens. While they certainly are important, you may not want them in your yard all the time. Fortunately, there are ways to naturally and humanely deter them—here, we spoke with experts about a few go-to methods.
As four astronauts head toward the Moon in a module about the size of a small bedroom, Professor Mike Pravica joins us to break down the science behind NASA’s Artemis II mission. From what the crew will experience to the technology making it possible, we take a closer look at this next step in returning humans to the Moon.
Not all colorless gemstones are created equal. When it comes to the comparison of white sapphire vs diamond, white sapphires are often touted as an alternative to natural diamonds. In reality, they are distinctly different stones with different origins.

For the first time in more than half a century, Americans watched astronauts blast off for the moon again Wednesday as Artemis II lifted off, a milestone for space exploration that also sparked a rare moment of national unity.
The key is to evenly distribute elderly passengers, who move more slowly, among the aircraft cabins.
Faint flickers in the night sky have puzzled astronomers for decades. These subtle changes in brightness come from violent star systems, where one star feeds on another. Now, new research from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, offers a clearer explanation for one of the most confusing signals these systems produce.
