The Moon is a constant in the night sky, but all is not actually as it seems. It turns out that scientists have discovered the Moon is drifting away from Earth, and it’s changing everything we thought we knew about our planet’s relationship with its only natural satellite. It’s also having a very real impact on the length of days on our planet – albeit at an incredibly slow rate. By moving away from Earth over the course of millions of years, the Moon is simultaneously making the length of the average day longer.A study by a team at the...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Markings on a stone pillar found at the 12,000-year-old archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey have been newly decoded by researchers, who believe they may document a tremendous comet strike that led to a major shift in human civilization. The site, a temple-like complex some seven thousand years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza, contains intricate carvings that archaeologists think may collectively form the world’s oldest calendar, as well as those that record the Taurid meteor stream that gave rise to a twenty-seven-day-long rain of comet fragments that plunged the Earth into a roughly 1,200-year-long ice age in 10850 BCE. The comet strike is believed to have wiped out many species of large animals, and to have spurred the lifestyle change from hunting and gathering to farming that led to the birth of civilization in the Fertile Crescent of West Asia.
