It looks like something astronauts might wear in space, but this metal suit actually has a more Earth-bound purpose: to enable divers to work deep underwater without needing to spend time in a decompression chamber after they return to the surface.
The hard metal dive suit, known as Exosuit, is designed for users to operate underwater safely down to a depth of 1,000 feet (305 meters), reported Wired. The $600,000 suit is equipped with a so-called atmospheric diving...
A new study has revealed that it wasn't just climate change that
killed off the woolly mammoth. Instead, the changing diet of woolly
mammoths, woolly rhinoceros and other animals of the arctic was the main
driver behind their extinction. Eske Willerslev and his research team
at the University of Copenhagen have determined this theory through DNA
analysis.
Sometime
between July 2010 and May 2012, a really big space rock slammed into
Mars. An image of the resulting crater, released February 5 by NASA,
shows a scar about 30 meters across.
Impacts aren’t uncommon on
the Red Planet, which gets hit by more than 200 asteroids or comets each
year. But few crashes leave such visible scars as the one shown above.
The
photograph was taken November 19, 2013, by the High Resolution Imaging
Science Experiment camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Based
on the blue and black blast zone that appears to explode from the
crater, astronomers estimate that the impact threw material as far as 15
kilometers.
