It’s been a wild year for science. First, we managed to create new eye drops that let you see without glasses. Next, NASA found evidence of life’s building blocks on Mars. Now, researchers have managed to teach a bunch of brain cells in a dish how to play Pong. Not just that, the cyborg brain …
Have you ever wondered what a moon sounds like? Apparently, NASA has. Over the weekend, NASA shared a 50-second audio recording taken of Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon (and the largest in our Solar System).

Scientists say it’s the first super-elongated millipede from the …
Prepare for werewolves to come out in packs tomorrow, as we’re about to get the longest full moon of the year.
