Wind turbines have existed for over a century, but are becoming a major focus in recent decades thanks to the growth of wind power and renewable energy

Technicians have fueled, stacked and tucked the first ten advanced IridiumNEXT mobile voice and data relay satellites inside the nose cone of a Falcon 9 rocket designated as SpaceX's 'Return to Flight' launcher - potentially as early as next week - from their west coast launch pad on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

NASA's NEOWISE mission has been responsible for many interesting finds, the latest of which are two possible comets that could be visible from Earth.

On the brink of 4600 Sols of a profoundly impactful life, NASA's long lived Opportunity rover celebrates the Christmas/New Year's holiday season on Mars marching relentlessly towards an ancient water carved gully along the eroded rim of vast Endeavour crater - the next science target on her heroic journey traversing across never before seen Red Planet terrains.

Fossil fuels, which are the decomposed remains of organic material, are the predominant source of energy in the modern era.

Alternative energy comes in many forms, all of which are being investigated as long-term replacements for fossil fuels, coal, and other conventional means of energy.

NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, MD - The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is now deemed "sound" and apparently unscathed, engineers have concluded, based on results from a new batch of intensive inspections of the observatory's structure, after concerns were raised in early December when technicians initially detected "anomalous readings" during a preplanned series of vibration tests, NASA announced Dec. 23.

Our pets are wiser than we think.

Well, it looks like we'll close out 2016 without a great 'Comet of the Century.' One of the final discoveries of the year did, however, grab our attention, and may present a challenging target through early 2017: Comet C/2016 U1 NEOWISE.

In the northern skies, in the direction of the Cygnus constellation, lies Messier 29 - an open star cluster that is slowly moving towards us!

As we celebrate the Christmas tidings of 2016 here on Earth, a lucky multinational crew of astronauts and cosmonauts celebrate the festive season floating in Zero-G while living and working together in space aboard the Earth orbiting International Space Station (ISS) complex - peacefully cooperating to benefit all humanity.

Located in the northern skies, surrounded by the Monoceros, Gemini, Cancer and Hydra, is the constellation known as Canis Minor.

The idea of colonization of Saturn's moons is attractive and presents many benefits, even if it is a challenging and distant prospect.
