The EPAS1 Gene
long ago when hominids of every kind walked the earth, there was a stout hominid who escaped the brutal creatures of the land by seeking refuge high above the clouds, where the giant cats would not go, nor the wolve packs to hunt them. A life of survival meant that stout little Denisovan, with short knees and a penchant for climbing, would start to build their encampments, rather than live in caves.

The man drank 1,400 bottles of radioactive water, disintegrating from the inside out, leaving his body still feverish 30 years later
Sometimes people can be horribly superstitious about science! We now know to stay away from radioactive elements, because the particles and radiation released during their decay can be harmful to the human body, sometimes fatal even for a short time.

In July a 100 Mile Wide Comet's Coming To Visit Our Neighborhood
We’ve all heard of Haley’s Comet. If you don’t remember what a comet is, they’re essentially a galactic boulder made of frozen gases, rock, and dust that orbit the Sun. Frozen, they’re the size of small cities. When the orbit of a comet gets closer to the Sun, the comet warms and spews dust and gases into a giant glowing head larger than most planets. We then get the experience of seeing them fly through our solar system, hopefully not getting too close to our world. If one did, it would be catastrophic.
