NASA HubbleSite

"On April 24, 1990, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off from Earth with the Hubble Space Telescope nestled securely in its payload bay. The following day, Hubble was released into space, ready to peer into the vast unknown. Since then, Hubble has reinvigorated and reshaped our perception of the cosmos and uncovered a universe of unexpected wonders. Hubble has revealed properties of space and time that for most of human history were only probed in the imaginations of scientists and philosophers. Today, Hubble continues to provide views of cosmic wonders never before seen and is at the forefront of many new discoveries..."

Piano Guys "Line Rider" Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 / Something Just Like This

"This mash-up of “Something Just Like This” and “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2” is one of our most intricate arrangements yet. When Liszt wrote music, especially for his 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies, it’s like he was piling material from several “hit songs” into a compilation of dazzling, finger-flying feats of melody and harmony."

Protecting Vulnerable Users On Instagram
Written by Erin McCowey

With a few weeks of the back to school season under our belts, it is easier to step back and examine our daily routines. Are our children making it to school on time? Are they eating a balanced diet? Are they spending too much time online? Are those interactions healthy? It can be difficult to answer those questions yourself, so it is helpful to include your teen in this conversation. Ask them their honest opinion about tech use and to reflect on their experiences thus far. If either of you notice there has been too much screen time, know that platforms continue to roll out features to help families carefully curate their online experience. Instagram in particular allows for the management of time, comment control, and content modifications for vulnerable users who may need help creating a healthier experience.

Why Parents Should Prioritize Mental Health This School Year

"How is summer already over? It seems that it’s only just begun. The reality is the kids will be back to middle and high school before the last sip of summer is had. And with the new year, there are often new challenges. As many say, “Little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems.” But mental health issues that are diagnosed and treated early have the best prognosis and do not have to become “big problems.” As our children grow into tweens and teens, there is a new landscape to understand. As parents, it is crucial to tend to your child’s mental health just as you do their physical health..."

7 Random Acts of Kindness for Kids
Article Written by Amy Morin

It’s easy to get so caught up teaching your child how to write his letters and how to cut his food with a knife that you forget to teach your child to be kind. And some parents worry teaching kindness could actually cause a child to lose his edge in today’s competitive world.

How to Geek:
Why Do Phones Explode?

Every few years, exploding phones find a way to dominate the news cycle. And while these accidents are incredibly rare, they’re a bit difficult to understand. Why do phones explode? And how do I know that my phone won’t explode?

Whenever a Li-ion battery explodes or catches fire, it’s undergoing a process called thermal runaway. This process can be a bit difficult to understand, so we’ll keep things short, sweet, and free of dense scientific jargon.
Lithium-ion batteries contain a ton of Li-ion cells. Each of these cells has a critical temperature—think of it as a boiling point. When the critical temperature of a cell is reached (due to external heat, overcharging, damage, or poor manufacturing), it enters an exothermic breakdown. Basically, the cell itself starts to release a ton of heat.
