Here is a quick demo about how to build a pinhole projector to safely view a projection of the eclipsed sun. When looking at the eclipse directly, protective eclipse glasses are necessary to prevent eye damage.

Imagine a backyard barbecue where the parents grill burgers and chicken kebabs they’ve grown from single cells using a home meat-making machine. Meanwhile, the kids are transfixed by grandparents’ tales of life in the 20th century, before google was a verb and when meat was brutally carved from animals that looked like their pets.
We’re not there, yet. But raising animals for consumption may soon become obsolete. Scientists have shown it’s possible to produce animal-free beef, chicken, turkey, and fish. The latest example is lab-grown fried chicken, revealed last month by San Francisco-based startup Memphis Meats. Tasters of the product described it simply as chicken, perhaps a little spongier

Animals, like humans, can’t live without oxygen — our cells need it in order to suck the most energy out of sugary glucose molecules. When we exercise, panting for more oxygen, we cut corners and only break down glucose a little bit, to a chemical called pyruvate. But that means producing lactic acid and storing it in our muscles until we have enough oxygen to deal with it. It can give us a little wiggle room on the oxygen front, but it’s hardly a perfect system.
Some bacteria have a different trick for dealing with a shortage of oxygen: They can break down glucose into pyruvate, then convert that compound into either lactic acid or ethanol and ship it out of their cell. We’ve taken advantage of that trick for millennia: When we humans are around, we set them up so that lactic acid or ethanol ends up in yogurt or booze. The definition of fermentation isn’t actually producing alcohol, it’s this process of breaking down glucose without any oxygen around.
And scientists just announced the first known group of animals that can get by on fermentation alone for long periods of time in an article published in Scientific Reports.

The Perseid meteor shower will peak in the early hours Friday and Saturday, but don’t expect to easily see them from your backyard if you live in Southern California.
To really appreciate the celestial show, you want to get as far from the urban glow of lights as possible. For those who want to go a bit far afield — at least 130 miles from Los Angeles — Death Valley, Joshua Tree and Anza-Borrego desert parks are tops.
Fortunately, there are places within an hour’s drive of downtown L.A. that offer good viewing spots too, provided skies don’t cloud up.
— Drive to the Angeles National Forest north of L.A., where you can pull off at an overlook, set out your chair and look up. More serious stargazers can spend the night at campgrounds ($12 a night) such as Chilao, 26 miles north of La Cañada Flintridge on Highway 2, and Buckhorn, 10 miles north of Chilao. Both are drive-in sites.

I’ve never been a big fan of astronomical events: there are just too many meteor showers or planet transits to keep up with, and a slightly larger Moon just doesn’t do much for me. But I have completely shed my cynical attitude regarding the upcoming total solar eclipse. The more I learn about it, the more excited I am to see it — and to photograph it. I’ll be heading down to Nashville, which lies in the path of the eclipse’s shadow, so I’ll have the opportunity to get an incredible snapshot of the Sun completely covered by the Moon.
I consider myself an amateur photographer, but I’ve never tried taking pictures of celestial events before, and I’ve never even witnessed an eclipse. So I turned to a self-proclaimed astrophotographer Justin Starr to give me some tips about how to best snap a picture of the Sun — before, during, and after totality. Watch his demonstration in the video above and check out a summary of his suggestions below.

Taking pilots out of the cockpit could save airlines billions. But would anyone buy a ticket?
The aviation industry could save $35 billion a year by moving to pilotless planes, according to a new report from UBS. Just one problem: The same report warns that only 17% of travelers are willing to fly without a pilot.
UBS said that the technology required to operate remote-controlled planes could appear by 2025. Further advances beyond 2030 might result in automated business jets and helicopters, and finally commercial aircraft without pilots.“The technologies in development today will enable the aircraft to assist and back up the pilot in all the flight phases, removing the pilot from manual control and systems operations in all types of situations,” the report said.

In a striking advance that helps open the door to organ transplants from animals, researchers have created gene-edited piglets cleansed of viruses that might cause disease in humans.
The experiments, reported on Thursday in the journal Science, may make it possible one day to transplant livers, hearts and other organs from pigs into humans, a hope that experts had all but given up.
If pig organs were shown to be safe and effective, “they could be a real game changer,” said Dr. David Klassen, chief medical officer at the United Network for Organ Sharing, a private, nonprofit organization that manages the nation’s transplant system.
There were 33,600 organ transplants last year, and 116,800 patients on waiting lists, according to Dr. Klassen, who was not involved in the new study. “There’s a big gap between organ supply and organ demand,” he said.

African penguins out for a stroll on Boulders Beach, South Africa.
Most African penguins are island dwellers living off the southern coast of the continent. Somewhat mysteriously, a colony has taken up mainland residence at Boulders Beach, South Africa. Scientists aren’t certain why two breeding pairs arrived ashore in the early 1980s, but the place must suit this breed of banded penguins, as thousands of them are said to live here now. And that’s a good thing—African penguins are an endangered species whose numbers have dwindled alarmingly over the course of the last century.
The colony at Boulders Beach sometimes wanders close to the beach-going public, but the penguins are protected by local laws and authorities. And they’re literally watched-over by folks perched on boardwalks above Foxy Beach, the penguins’ main hangout.

He approaches the first stranger with an expectant smile and an urgent query: “Do you know about the solar eclipse?”
The man shakes his head, and Mike Kentrianakis is launched. He’s here at the Hayden Planetarium as an emissary of the American Astronomical Society, and his mission is to spread the word: On Aug. 21, the moon will pass between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow across a swath of the United States. The spectacle will be like nothing most people have ever seen.
Carmen Irizarry, a science teacher from Staten Island, walks over with her two young granddaughters. She’s been thinking about taking them to a spot on the path of totality — where the moon will completely block out the sun for a few mesmerizing minutes. “I entirely encourage it,” Kentrianakis tells her. “It’s a completely different phenomenon. It shouldn’t even be called an eclipse. It should be called something else.”
