You Need to See This NASA Video of Nearly 140 Years of Temperature Rises
When you're one tiny person living amongst 7.6 billion people on a small planet in just one Solar System in just one of billions of galaxies in the Universe - sure, it may be difficult to grasp the level of climate change affecting Earth right now.
New Qubit Now Works without Breaks
An international group of scientists from Russia, the United Kingdom, and Germany have presented an alternative qubit design which can be used to build a quantum computer. Nano-wires made of superconductors are the design’s main elements. In the first experiments, the new superconductor qubit proved to be no worse than the traditional one built on Josephson junctions.

Tour of the Moon in 4K
Take a virtual tour of the Moon in all-new 4K resolution, thanks to data provided by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. As the visualization moves around the near side, far side, north and south poles, we highlight interesting features, sites, and information gathered on the lunar terrain.

Distortions in Ancient Light Reveal Strands in Cosmic Web
Scientists have decoded faint distortions in the patterns of the universe’s earliest light to map huge tubelike structures invisible to our eyes – known as filaments – that serve as superhighways for delivering matter to dense hubs such as galaxy clusters.…

Low 3-D Flyover of Jupiter’s North Pole in Infrared
In this animation the viewer is taken low over Jupiter’s north pole to illustrate the 3-D aspects of the region’s central cyclone and the eight cyclones that encircle it.
The movie utilizes imagery derived from data collected by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard NASA's Juno mission during its fourth pass over the massive planet. Infrared cameras are used to sense the temperature of Jupiter’s atmosphere and provide insight into how the powerful cyclones at Jupiter's poles work. In the animation, the yellow areas are warmer (or deeper into Jupiter’s atmosphere) and the dark areas are colder (or higher up in Jupiter’s atmosphere). In this picture the highest “brightness temperature” is around 260K (about -13°C) and the lowest around 190K (about -83°C). The “brightness temperature” is a measurement of the radiance, at 5 µm, traveling upward from the top of the atmosphere towards Juno, expressed in units of temperature.

A Stunning New Video Shows a Comet's Surface as It Hurtles Through Space
This is the most beautiful thing we've seen today.
In August 2014, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft pulled up to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and studied the gritty, duck-shaped object for 2 years.
Today the ESA continues to publish new images taken by the probe, and in March it released a fresh batch of data.Many of Rosetta's photos were taken in sequence – so Twitter user "landru79" stacked and stitched the pictures into a stunning new timelapse movie, posted Monday.
"Amazing scene from #comet #67P," the ESA tweeted about landru79's work.
The video clip (below) shows roughly 25 minutes of flight past Comet 67P on June 1, 2016. The scene looks like something out of a science-fiction film:
