Police Puzzled by 180 Kilos of SpaceX-Branded Cocaine Found at Crash Site

A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white

A Collision With Another Planet Could Have Allowed for Life on Earth

the Earth you walk on today might not be the same planet that was born 4.5 billion years ago. Many scientists believe that in its infancy, Earth collided with another world the size of Mars, and that instead of being destroyed, it was transformed, incorporating the mass of that foreign body to become the planet we know. Recent research adds another layer of relevance to that hypothesized cosmic event: Scientists believe that without that other body, the basic conditions for life to emerge on Ear

Scientists Identify Rare Blue Pigment in Iconic Jackson Pollock Painting—But It’s Now Off-Limits

Jackson Pollock was a famous American painter best known for his abstract expressionism, including the “drip and splash” and the “all-over” style of painting (which look exactly like they sound). Now we finally know the chemical origin of the blue color he splattered onto his iconic Number 1A, 1948. Researchers investigated the vibrant pigment via laser spectroscopy, a technique scientists use to investigate matter at the atomic level. With this approach, they revealed it to be manganese blue,

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown quasi-moon that’s been shadowing Earth’s orbit for decades, undetected, and will likely remain there for a few decades more. The quasi-moon, named 2025 PN7, is one of around seven quasi-satellites that share Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

NASA Finds Evidence That Mars Devoured Huge Chunks of Other Planets

The Red Planet has a bloody history. Newly examined data from NASA's retired InSight lander suggest that there may be giant chunks of rocky material deep inside the mantle of Mars, which were lodged there after a barrage of massive objects slammed into its surface some 4.5 billion years ago. Some of these smithereens are so large, the researchers say, that they're effectively protoplanets — moon-sized objects in the early stages of becoming a planet proper.

Most American students learn in high school about the 1856 “caning” of Senator Charles Sumner by Representative Preston Brooks. Teachers love the incident because it serves as a tidy encapsulation of so many themes from that period of American history. The attack stemmed, like so many problems in the 1850s, from the dispute over slavery. Sumner was a fierce abolitionist who had recently given an aggressive speech opposing the Kansas-Nebraska Act. In that speech, he attacked Senator Andrew Butle
