STAR WARS: Oscar Isaac Endorses Idea of Finn-Poe Romance

by
Oscar Isaac

A bisexual Star Wars fan got actor Oscar Isaac to ‘full endorse’ the theory that Poe Dameron hooks up with ex-Stormtrooper Finn. The rumor of a romance between Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Isaac) was ignited in The Force Awakens, after they were seen gazing at one another. Disappointingly, their rumored romance was not addressed in follow-up Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But one fan wanted to get to the bottom of it in the hope that the pair lock lips by the end of the trilogy. Madeline, 16, caught wind that Isaac would be appearing on WABC’s Live With … Read more

A huge, trillion-ton iceberg about the size of Delaware broke free from Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf in July 2017. As it moved away from its chilly birth mom and into the Weddell Sea, a vast expanse of water saw the light for the first time in up to 120,000 years. And this month, a team of scientists will venture to the long-ice-buried expanse to investigate the mysterious ecosystem that was hidden beneath the Antarctic ice shelf for so long. The newly exposed seabed stretches across an area of about 2,246 square miles (5,818 square kilometers), according to the British … Read more

SPACE: New Horizons Spacecraft Reaches New Record

by
Kuiper Belt Objects

The New Horizons spacecraft’s imager (called the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager) captured these false-color images in December 2017 of Kuiper Belt Objects 2012 HZ84 (left) and 2012 HE85. These are, for now, the farthest images from Earth ever captured by a spacecraft. The photos don’t look like much: blurry green splotches against pixelated blue. But they’re arguably among the most amazing photographic images ever. That’s because they were taken from the farthest point from planet Earth of any images ever captured, snapped by a spacecraft just over 3.79 billion miles (6.12 billion kilometers) from its home planet. That spacecraft is … Read more
