When Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific in 1969, the recovered astronauts were sealed in a quarantine trailer for weeks because nobody could rule out lunar microbes, while around their capsule the ocean teemed with creatures far stranger than anything feared from the Moon

In July 1969, Apollo 11's crew was sealed in an Airstream trailer for 21 days while NASA tested moon rocks for life that wasn't there — meanwhile, the ocean beneath their splashdown site held vampire squid, 40-meter siphonophores, and single-celled organisms the size of dinner plates.

The couples who last into their seventies often aren’t the ones who never fought; they’re the ones who learned which arguments were about something real and which were just exhaustion looking for a target

Here is what is quietly at stake in a long marriage. It is rarely the big, dramatic blowup that ends things. More often it is the slow accumulation of small fights that were never really about what they seemed to be about, the kind that pile up year after year until two people stop reaching ...

People with a richer vocabulary for their inner life have measurably lower rates of depression — not because they feel less, but because they feel more precisely

Consider two people at the end of a difficult meeting. The first registers that they feel bad. The second registers that they feel humiliated — not angry, not embarrassed, not disappointed, but specifically humiliated. The feeling is not more intense in the second case. It is more precise. And that precision, according to a growing ... Read more Read more

In 1977, Jerry Ehman was paging through computer printouts from Ohio State’s Big Ear telescope when he saw a 72-second signal so strong and so cleanly from the direction of Sagittarius that he circled the column in red ballpoint and wrote a single word in the margin: Wow!

On August 15, 1977, Ohio State's Big Ear radio telescope recorded a 72-second narrow-band signal from Sagittarius that was 30 times louder than background noise — sitting almost exactly on the hydrogen line where SETI researchers had been listening since 1959. Jerry Ehman circled it in red ballpoint days later. It has never been heard again. Read more
