A simple plan for Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance'?
(Johan Jarnestad/ The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences)
Blood moon lunar eclipses may be creepy, but quantum mechancis is can be "spookier." Now, scientists say there maybe an easier way to recreate the so-called "spooky action at a distance" between subatomic particules by using AI to generate quantum entanglement? Sound like magic? We assure you, it's real science.

Private moon lander fell over and died
(Intuitive Machines)
While we're still talking a bit about the moon, we finally know what happened to the private Intuitive Machines moon lander during its landing last week. New images from the probe show that it fell over during landing. It tipped on its side inside a moon crater. Unable to generate power, it was declared dead shortly after.

New gravity recipe unites Einstein's general relativity?
(Robert Lea (created with Canva))
We've looked at quantum entanglement today, but now we're turning toward something perhaps a bit weirder with "quantum gravity," which scientists now think may arise from entropy, possibly solving puzzles put forth by the elusive dark universe.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter enters orbit
(-/Getty Images)
On March 10, 2006, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter entered orbit around the Red Planet. The spacecraft launched on August 12, 2005, travelling to Mars to study the geology and climate of the Red Planet. The main aim of the MRO mission was to probe the atmosphere to a depth of around 0.6 miles (1 kilometer), hunting for traces of water. To reduce the amount of fuel consumed by the MRO as it looped around Mars, over the next six months, the spacecraft lowered its operating orbit.
