Bill Kramer felt the tip of a machine gun against his back, forcefully guiding him to the back room of an Indonesian airport. It was 1983, 11 years after he saw his first solar eclipse as a boy, and his wife had come along to see her first one, too. A small telescope in his carry-on bag had alarmed customs officials, and he had no idea how to explain that he’d merely brought it to see the moon perfectly aligning with the sun, shrouding the Earth in a magical sort of darkness.
“I’m sweating bullets, and this guy comes in with this big uniform and says in a perfect American accent, ‘Wow, what a nice telescope,’” Kramer, a 58-year-old retired computer scientist now living in Jamaica, recalled in a Skype interview. “The relief I felt was pretty incredible.”
Kramer is an eclipse chaser, and the officials surveying his bag weren’t the first people Kramer encountered who didn’t quite understand his passion. Chasers often make careers of their voyages to see the sun’s glowing corona, or they’re vigorous planners who book remote trips into the path of totality years ahead of time. And those of us who are “eclipse virgins” — a popular term among the chasers — probably won’t understand the appeal until we see one ourselves, they say. To them, eclipse chasing is a core identity, a lifestyle or – at the very least — travel with a purpose.

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.

In most of the Wi-Fi-enabled world, thumb drives are already a throwback; the latest Apple laptops don’t even come with a way to plug them in. But in the insular and rogue state of North Korea, USB drives have become a symbol of resistance.
Human rights groups based in South Korea, the United States and elsewhere load the flash drives with hours of foreign films like Titanic and TV shows like Friends, along with South Korean dramas and religious texts. Then they smuggle them north using drones, helium balloons or a secretive underground network.
The hope is that thousands, if not millions, of North Koreans will get their hands on foreign media on a scale so large it could someday undermine the same regime that’s trying to brainwash them.

A chaotic and violent day turned to tragedy Saturday as hundreds of white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members — planning to stage what they described as their largest rally in decades to “take America back” — clashed with counterprotesters in the streets and a car plowed into crowds, killing one person and injuring 19 others.
Video recorded at the scene shows a gray car accelerating into crowds on a pedestrian mall, sending bodies flying — and then reversing at high speed, hitting yet more people. Witnesses said the street was filled with people opposed to the white nationalists who had come to town bearing Confederate flags and anti-Semitic epithets.
City officials said it was too soon to tell whether the car crash was intentional, but the driver of one of the vehicles was taken into custody.
