Bam. Dawkins is a jerk.

THIS. I’m fed up with people continuously flocking to support him as a person, because of his professional achievements.

heythereuniverse: jtotheizzoe: How much do you think you know about science compared to the average Earthling? Take Pew Research Center’s 13 question Science and Technology Knowledge Quiz and see where you stack up. Hopefully reading It’s Okay To Be Smart will help you all get 100%. How’d you do? 100% ^^’ Lol that test is easy. :P

A selection of images of Earth from space, taken by Landsat 5, which is set to be retired after 29 years.

Originally set to orbit Earth for three years, the satellite lived well beyond its intended means. But, a recently broken gyroscope has declared the end of the machine’s time in space.

It orbited Earth more than 150,000 times, capturing more than 2.5 million images of our world’s terrain. In honor of the mission’s end, here are a collection of Landsat 5’s best images of our planet. Landsat 7, which has been orbiting Earth since 1999, will remain overhead and Landsat 8 will be launched into space in February 2013. (x)

Student physicists at the University of Leicester, in a paper titled “Trajectory of a Falling Batman,” determined that Batman’s velocity as he approached street level — 50 mph — would be too great for him to survive without serious injury. “If Batman wanted to survive the flight, he would definitely need a bigger cape,” co-author David Marshall suggests helpfully. “Or if he preferred to keep his style he could opt for using active propulsion, such as jets to keep himself aloft.” [telegraph]
