The mystery behind the disappearance of several boats in the Bermuda Triangle may have finally been unraveled in a new theory by British scientists. According to the recent research, "rogue" waves going up to 100 feet could be engulfing boats in the region.

In the darkest and coldest parts of its polar regions, a team of scientists has directly observed definitive evidence of water ice on the Moon's surface. These ice deposits are patchily distributed and could possibly be ancient. At the southern pole, most of the ice is concentrated at lunar craters, while the northern pole's ice is more widely, but sparsely spread...


Most of the newfound water ice lies in the shadows of craters near the poles, where the warmest temperatures never reach above minus 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of the very small tilt of the Moon's rotation axis, sunlight never reaches these regions.

Previous observations indirectly found possible signs of surface ice at the lunar south pole, but these could have been explained by other phenomena, such as unusually reflective lunar soil.

With enough ice sitting at the surface -- within the top few millimeters -- water would possibly be accessible as a resource for future expeditions to explore and even stay on the Moon, and potentially easier to access than the water detected beneath the Moon's surface.

Neat article, thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed that, thanks Tony.

I found this extremely interesting.

In Conformal Cyclic Cosmology the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang singularity of the next.

Heyyyyyyyyy....

Going back in time, I'd do it again. In fact, I'd skip the two years of teaching high school and just go directly to grad school.

Haha... I have my Ph.D. now. I've seen the first, not the second. Actually, shortly after I got my Ph.D. we were at a conference and while sitting at the bar waiting for our table someone was coming around asking if anyone was a doctor. My colleagues jokingly pointed at me... some dude was having a heart attack and they were looking for people to help. The guy wasn't amused when I said "not that kind of doctor... sorry."

You really went out on a limb on that one, eh?
