Celebrating history we don’t remember
Last year the US Education Department (claiming budget pressures) canceled the American history and civics tests within the National Assessment of Educational Progress. This “gold standard” test had been our single best tool to measure how well our schools teach history and civics. Now, rather than working to repair this crucial failing of our schools, we’ve stopped tracking it.

FYI: What Would Happen If You Shot Off Fireworks In Space?
Good news: they'll explode! Bad news: they might not be the prettiest fireworks ever.

Magic Mushrooms Expand Your Mind And Amplify Your Brain’s Dreaming Areas. Here’s How

See For Yourself How Many Animals Are Close To Extinction
Mass extinctions have happened before in Earth's history, for example when an enormous meteorite slammed into our planet and (likely) wiped out the dinosaurs. But we are now in the midst of one caused by, you guessed it, human beings--with species going extinct between 100 to 1,000 times the natural "background" level. But these numbers are a bit hard to picture. Thankfully, the online journalism outfit ProPublica has created an amazing visualization called "A Disappearing Planet" that tells the story very well through data.

How 9/11 Made The Global Helium Shortage Worse
After 11 September 2001, in the interest of national security, the US government started using helium-3-based neutron detectors ('radiation portal monitors') to uncover any potential bomb-making components entering the country. That increased demand, coupled with a large order from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2008, suddenly revealed that the US Department of Energy was allocating helium-3 faster than it could be produced. In 2008, the demand reached 80,000 litres, becoming unsustainable.

Discovery expands search for Earth-like planets: Newly spotted frozen world orbits in a binary star system
A newly discovered planet is expanding astronomers’ notions of where Earth-like -- and even potentially habitable -- planets can form, and how to find them. At twice the mass of Earth, the planet orbits one of the stars in the binary system at almost exactly the same distance from which Earth orbits the sun. However, because the planet's host star is much dimmer than the sun, the planet is much colder than Earth -- a little colder, in fact, than Jupiter's icy moon Europa.

Doing something is better than doing nothing for most people, study shows
People are focused on the external world and don’t enjoy spending much time alone thinking, according to a new study. The investigation found that most would rather be doing something -- possibly even hurting themselves -- than doing nothing or sitting alone with their thoughts.

Controversial clues of two 'Goldilocks planets' that might support life are proven false
Mysteries about controversial signals from a star considered a prime target in the search for extraterrestrial life now have been solved. The research proves, for the first time, that some of the signals actually are from events inside the star itself, not from the two so-called 'Goldilocks planets,' which were suspected to be just-right for life and orbiting the star at a distance where liquid water potentially could exist. No planets there, just star burps.

Timeline of human origins revised: New synthesis of research links changing environment with Homo's evolutionary adaptability
Many traits unique to humans were long thought to have originated in the genus Homo between 2.4 and 1.8 million years ago in Africa. Although scientists have recognized these characteristics for decades, they are reconsidering the true evolutionary factors that drove them.

Ultrasound for astronomers? A young star's age can be gleamed from nothing but sound waves
Determining the age of stars has long been a challenge for astronomers. Astronomers now show that 'infant' stars can be distinguished from 'adolescent' stars by measuring the acoustic waves they emit.

Dove Shampoo warning links - Internet/Facebook Rumour
The links lead to a website that requests users share the link on social media before proceeding. However this is just a scam that dupes users into either completing surveys (i.e. survey scams) or downloading malicious software onto their computer. Scams that ask users to share videos before proceeding are a popular modus operandi for Internet scammers. Identical versions of the above hoax exist for both Head & Shoulders and Axe.
