Research Shows We Are More Anti-Social In A Shared Office Space
If we all work side by side in an open-plan office or ‘hot desk’, moving from place to place, it’s sure to increase collaboration! It turns out that may be wrong. If you don’t have your own space, perhaps you are better off working remotely with your cat for company. Research suggests that in shared working spaces there were increases in ’employee social liabilities’; distractions, uncooperativeness, distrust and negative relationships. More surprisingly, both co-worker friendships and percepti..>> view originalWhat Is DCLeaks? Colin Powell's Emails Come From A Sketchy Source
[ 15 September 2016 ] Pluto 'paints' its largest moon red News
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft captured this high-resolution, enhanced colour view of Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, just before closest approach on 14 July 2015. The image combines blue, red and infrared images taken by the spacecraft’s Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera (MVIC); the colours are processed to best highlight the variation of surface properties across Charon. Scientists have learned that reddish material in the north (top) polar region – informally named Mordor Macula – is c..>> view originalEarth in danger of major asteroid strike; humans need to be 'smarter than dinosaurs'
Earth in danger of major asteroid strike; humans need to be ‘smarter than dinosaurs' Amid the wars in different parts of the world and the recent issues that the planet has had to deal with, it’s easy to forget that there are other things that threaten to destroy Earth.

The sixth mass extinction — the one that seven billion humans are doing their darnedest to trigger at this very moment — is shaping up to be like nothing our planet has ever seen. That’s the conclusion of a sweeping new analysis, which compared marine fossil records from Earth’s five previous mass extinction events to what’s happening in the oceans right now.

Starving black hole at the heart of the mysterious dimming of Markarian 1018 galaxy Posted September 16, 2016 01:12:32 An international team of astronomers have cracked the case of a mysterious galaxy that has suddenly dimmed after shining brightly for 30 years. Key pointsMarkiarian 1018 galaxy is suddenly getting dimmer after 30 yearsData shows this dimming is caused by a black hole running out of fuelVariation in brightness over short time challenges how we think a..>> view originalMoon's Birth May Have Vaporized Most of Earth, Study Shows
The massive collision that created the moon may have vaporized most of the early Earth, according to a new analysis of samples collected during the Apollo moon missions. In the early days of planet formation, a grazing collision between the newborn Earth and a Mars-size rock named Theia(named after the mother of the moon in Greek myth) may have led to the birth of the moon, according to a prevailing hypothesis. Debris from the impact later coalesced into the moon. This "giant-impact hypot..>> view originalGaia's new star map will also reveal asteroids and dark matter

The space-based observatory just released its first map of the positions and distances of stars in our galaxy, and will chart a whopping billion stars before it is through. Such an accurate map will help pin down the Milky Way’s layout and evolution.

An underwater investigation of coral bleaching in the South Pacific By Justin Worland | Photographs by XL Catlin Seaview Survey Richard Vevers has traveled the globe to photograph coral reefs since quitting his advertising job. In 2011 he cofounded the XL Catlin Seaview Survey, a collaboration between the University of Queensland and a number of research institutions, photographing underwater corals as they adapt to climate change.
