  • StarDate – Pulsar Timing
  • If you’re cruising through space, stay away from pulsars — they’re nasty. They produce deadly radiation, and their gravity rips apart anything that gets close. From many light-years away, though, pulsars could be handy.

Mountain snow in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California
If you live in or visit the mountains, you can look at the snow-covered hills as nature’s water towers. As that snow melts, it could provide 75 percent or more of the area’s freshwater each year. That’s true far downstream from the mountains too, and even in snowy flat areas. Around the world, snow provides 50 percent of our total annual freshwater supply.

9:30 am and 2:30 pm

Most maps and globes show the landmasses of our planet Earth in great detail. But most of the surface is a blank field of blue: the oceans

  • Bioneers – Revolution From the Heart of Nature on NestFM 
  • Next Gen Farmers: A Land-Loving Story
  • In the next 20 years, farmland ownership in the U.S. will shift on a continental scale—400 million acres. Yet 70% of American farmland is owned by people 65 and older. How can we help young, motivated agrarians become successful farmers to whom retiring organic farmers can transmit their wisdom? How can we invest in the democratization of our land base? These questions drive Agrarian Trust, started by Greenhorns founder Severine von Tscharner Fleming, one of the most visionary leaders in the young farmers’ movement.
