Binary star systems are more common than single stars, and though planets in triple star systems are more rare, they are not unheard of. However, researchers have now identified a planet that is only the second one to ever be discovered in a quadruple star system. The existence of the planet was confirmed

Earth has a long list of hits—and not of the musical variety, but of the rocky, celestial sort. In fact, asteroids have slammed into our planet and caused cataclysmic damage many times in its violent past. On less dramatic occassions, Earth is frequently hit with small asteroids that enter and disintegrate in its atmosphere. According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Earth was hit by 556 small asteroids between 1994 and 2013. Most don’t make it through the atmosphere, but

Though it looks more like a stability ball that you’d see at the gym, Guardbot is actually a round, land/water robot with many potential uses for broadcasting, spying, or security. Though it began as a potential bot for missions to Mars, it is now being tested by the United States military to possibly assist in future patrolling duties. The ball is about 60 centimeters (2 feet) in diameter, though it can be scaled up as large as 3 meters (9 feet) or as small as 10 centimeters

There are many incredible and enthralling things that happen right above our heads, every day. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions and light pollution, we’re not always able to see them. Fortunately, National Geographic has been kind enough to put together some breath taking footage so we can see it for ourselves. The Northern Lights (or ‘Aurora Borealis’ in the north and ‘Aurora Australis’ in the south) occur a result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth
