The construction of 64 such telescopes on a vast, adjustable grid of tracks covering 40 square km is daunting. The combined collecting surface of the receivers will measure 6.000 square metres, the size of a football pitch.
Each Alma receiver will consist of a transportable structure supporting a dish measuring 10 metres in diameter. Extending outwards from the smooth metal surface of the dish will be 3 support arms that hold a sub-reflector.
NASA's Mars rover has made it's first major discovery, and it's one for the ages. Water once coursed over the now bone-dry surface, a finding based on the presence of rounded pebbles and gravel near the rover's landing site.
On the surface, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Larry the Cable Guy, and Rosie O'Donnell have little in common. Yet, these popular figures, successful in different fields, each had to take time off for the same reason: acid reflux.
Chicago's largest-ever public art installation, Color Jam, was unveiled in the heart of the city's Loop -- covering various surfaces of the intersection of State and Adams with multihued, geometric shapes.

Your wallet is a portable petri dish. Each bill carries about 3,000 types of bacteria on its surface, mostly harmless. But your cash also has DNA from drug-resistant microbes, and maybe even smudges of anthrax and diphtheria!

It's humbling to know that there are still vast swathes of our planet’s surface in which it’s surprisingly easy to lose things. Even a ship the size of a large building, like the 1,400 ton ghost ship MV Lyubov Orlova.

The recent death of a professional free-diver shows just how perilous it is to hold your breath for extended periods, regardless of physical conditioning. Divers often black out soon after returning to the surface.

Mars landing missions use wheels to move around, but their progress can be stymied by sand-traps, steep slopes and boulder fields. A hopper would simply leap across these obstacles to the next safest, flat surface.

Ebb and Flow, two NASA space probes, have been orbiting the Moon and measuring its gravity field for the last year. Now that their fuel is depleted, NASA will orchestrate their death, a plunge into the lunar surface.
