Although the Moon does have an atmosphere, it is very thin and mostly made of hydrogen, neon, and argon. This is not a gaseous combination capable of supporting oxygen-dependent animals such as humans. On the Moon, there is an abundance of oxygen. It is just not in a gaseous state.

Due to more than a 1000 years of freediving and seafaring lifestyle, the Sama-Bajau have developed body capabilities that allow them to stay underwater for a longer period of time. Image credit: Fabio Achilli & ATI When we hold our breath and go underwater, our body will react by slowing down the heartbeat and constricting the blood vessels. After a few minutes, most of us would be dep
Have you ever considered the prospect of moving into the woods and living out your days in complete peace and serenity, far away from any big city? I know I certainly have. Of course, it’s easy to dream about such things. Turning them into a reality, however, is another matter entirely. I’m not sure what it is for me personally. Perhaps I’m just afraid to take the plunge. What I can sa
Photographer James Balog and his team were examining a glacier when their cameras caught something out of the ordinary.
