The Perseid meteor shower peaked this morning but you still have a chance to see it. A good number of meteors should be visible through August 24 although you’ll see fewer after the peak. With the New Moon tomorrow morning, you’ll have a near moonless night tonight without moonlight to interfere with your viewing. The best hours are 11 PM – 4:30 AM EST.

We’ve all been there. While NASA’S Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite was taking photographs of the Earth, the dark side of the moon put itself into the view of EPIC: DISCOVR’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera. The images showing the moon passing over the Pacific Ocean near North America were taken last month from one million miles away.

We've all heard that you can tell how far away you are from a lightning strike by counting the seconds from the time you see the lightning until you hear the thunder. Every second counted equals one mile, right? Wrong!

This year's Robo-Con festival of bots is shaping up to be better than ever. Come out and see a Michigan State Police Bomb Squad robot. Get the rare opportunity to drive a full-size bot on the field and you can even challenge a robot.

I know, I know... you were hoping never to hear the word 'twerk' ever again. But trust me, in this case it's totally worth it!

First solar roadways, now food printers? What will they think of next... self-driving cars?

How cool would it be to have roads that automatically removed snow and warned drivers of upcoming obstacles, in addition to providing three times the energy that the U.S. consumes? How does a clean, energy-efficient future for our children and grandchildren sound?

NASA satellites provide useful data about our planet every day of the year and along the way some beautiful images to view on Earth Day. The trip begins at the San Quintín Glacier in Chile and ends showing Aurora and Moonglow over Western Europe.

We can transplant organs, clone living things, and now we can swap out penises.

With wind chills near 30 below zero tonight, we should ask the guys at Truck & Bus to top this!

First Sports Creek Raceway, then Little Darlings, Now Radio Shack? You've got questions, they've got... nothin'!

This is so ridiculous, yet so inventive, yet so stupid, yet so cool!
