Lake Superior Still Has Ice Despite Air Temperatures In the 80s on Memorial Day Weekend

The Weather Channel Facebook friend Ben Ellison sent us this photo standing on a chunk of ice in Lake Superior on May 25, 2014. The temperature at the time in Duluth was 80 degrees. The first 80s since the week after Labor Day induced a full-blown case of summer fever in the northern Great Lakes on Memorial Day weekend. This led to the odd spectacle of folks heading to the Lake Superior

New Baby Dinosaur Fossil Reveals Cause of Death

After millions of years any number of things could happen to destroy fossils before they are discovered and documented by scientists, if the animal even fossilizes at all. Finding well preserved baby animals is particularly hard, since

FAKE OR REAL?! GHOST ATTACK CAUGHT ON CAMERA! Aggressive Spirit Attacks Man Caught On Tape

The echoes of departed spirits often show up on camera when those in shot were unaware of their presence. But, as this spine-chilling video shows, sometimes the undead are more than capable of making their presence felt. It purports to show the startling moment that a phantom pushes a man to the floor before seizing hold of his leg and dragging him along a deserted corridor. But just as

Molten lava meets a can of Coke

Freshly erupted lava can range from 700-1200 °C (1,300-2,200 °F). According to the manufacturers, Coca-Cola is best served at 4 °C (40 °F). Photographer Bryan Lowry wondered (as so many of us do): “What would happen if a can of Coke crossed paths with molten lava?” He decided to stage an experiment on a volcano in Hawaii. One can had a small hole punctured in the top too prevent the a

Scary fanged cannibal fish washes ashore alive

Visitors to Jennette's Pier in Nags Head, North Carolina, were shocked last week when an evil-looking fanged fish washed up alive on the shore. The monstrous fish has been identified as a long-snouted lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox), a nocturnal predator that's rarely seen near shore. The fish are known not only by their large fangs and tall dorsal fin, but also by their habit of eating thei

Solar FREAKIN’ Roadways!

Solar Roadways is a modular paving system of solar panels that can withstand the heaviest of trucks (250,000 pounds). These Solar Road Panels can be installed on roads, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, bike paths, playgrounds... literally any surface under the sun. They pay for themselves primarily through the generation of electricity, which can power homes and businesses connected via drive

Melting glaciers will destroy our planet

Melting glaciers will destroy our planet 5055 5 According to research scientists from NASA and the University of California, due to the melting of Antarctic glaciers global sea level rise in the foreseeable future to a critical level, which will lead to a large-scale disaster on the planet. Due to global warming and the ozone hole over Antarctica in the western part of the Antarctic ice

This Glass Sphere Could Revolutionize Solar Power on Earth

We all know that the sun is the greatest sustainable energy source available on Earth, but we're not quite at the stage where we're using it to the highest potential. The majority of PhotoVoltaic panels across the globe have a performance of just 15% or lower, and if these panels aren't tracking the movement of the sun in the sky, they are losing even more power throughout the year. Solar energy

“World’s Biggest Dinosaur” Discovered

Photo credit: José María Farfaglia, via MEF A farmer in Chubut, Argentina made an incredible dinosaur discovery about three years ago. While working out in his fields, he stumbled across some fossilized dinosaur remains. Paleontologists from the nearby Museum of Paleontology Egidio Feruglio excavated the area and found about 150 incredibly well-preserved bones from seven individuals of a sp

Hovercraft Coming To Market in 2017

No matter what anyone tells you, it is never too early to make your Christmas list for 2017. California-based tech company Aerofex has developed the Aero-X hovercraft that is slated to undergo flight tests in 2016 and—assuming no setbacks—they will hit the market in the US in 2017. They are expected to go for about $85,000. If you would like to be one of the first to get your hands on the Ae
