We are so sad to learn about the passing of Tony Dyson, who had the daunting task of building Artoo as a real life droid. #R2D2 #StarWars #Artoo #TonyDyson #droid

Is it a Meteoroid, Meteor or a Meteorite? It all depends on its location. If it is in space, it is a meteoroid. If it is in the Earth's atmosphere, it is a meteor. If you can pick it up off the ground, then it is a meteorite.

Orange Battery Artistic Scientist Generates Electricity Back to Light is a creatively scientific series by photographer Caleb Charland that explores the naturally electrifying power of ordinary objects like fruits and loose change. The images in the series features a number of materials, including consumables readily found in one's pantry, generating enough power to light lamps and LED lights. We had previously seen Charland light a lamp with 300 apples, but now the grocery list has expanded to include oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, pomelos, and vinegar. http://bit.ly/15xVIBf
