Three astrophysicists have an out-of-this-world solution for the climate crisis — mining dust from the moon and using it to build a shield around Earth that blocks the sun's rays.

Researchers Benjamin Bromley, Sameer Khan, and Scott Kenyon say they've found that dust grains from the moon could be the right size to scatter sunlight

    There’s no trait that distinguishes humans from all other mammals more clearly than the way we walk. Human habitual bipedalism – obligatory walking on two legs – has long been a defining trait of our species, as well as our ancestors as far back as 4.5 million years ago.
