 Washington (AFP) July 20, 2019 
Fifty years ago on Saturday, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans in history to set foot on the Moon, an event watched on television by half a billion people.
Their lunar module, named "Eagle," touched down at 2018 GMT (4:18pm ET) on July 20, 1969.
A little over six hours later, at 0256 GMT, Armstrong placed his left foot on the lunar surface, declar ... more |

A "vacuum" is generally thought to be nothing but empty space. But in fact, a vacuum is filled with "virtual particle-antiparticle pairs" of electrons and positrons that are continuously created and annihilated in unimaginably short time-scales.
The quest for a better understanding of vacuum physics will lead to the elucidation of fundamental questions in modern physics, which is integral ... more |

 Brisbane, Australia (The Conversation) Jul 22, 2019 
This weekend marks 50 years exactly since humans first walked on the Moon. It also marks Australia's small but significant role in enabling NASA to place boots on the lunar landscape - or at least to broadcast the event.
Those literally otherworldly images - beamed into countless schools, homes and workplaces - were at times routed through the Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales.
