Scientists in China have found a way to grow teeth from urine.  Something about stem cells in human pee.  First of all, where did this idea come about.  Were these scientist having lunch and one jokingly said let's see if we can make teeth from pee.

Scientists believe that the key to discovering extraterrestrial life could lie deep in the festering, underground oceans of Jupiter’s ice-covered moon Europa. New research suggests that if the salt water ocean beneath the surface of the frigid moon ever makes it's way to the surface, creating an intergalactic petri dish capable of producing a life-promoting environment.

Scientists are making revolutionary advancements in how they study alien planets. Recently, astronomers discovered that they could use the process of reflecting starlight in order to create composite maps of unknown worlds that would enable them to define pertinent aspects of planetary life, such as land, water and clouds.

All too often we get carried away believing (or worse, repeating) everything we are told and don't spend enough time questioning what's actually been said. We've picked 10 very common health mantras you hear everyday and weeded out the worst of the lies, because we want you to eat all the avocados. All of them.

And because we can't do cat videos all day every day,* here are ten amazing facts about the internet.

We realize asking people to stare at a bunch of out-of-sync metronomes is kind of a hard sell, but this is actually really cool. For a while it seems like it's not going to happen, then, magically (note: technically physics, not magic), they do. Here's why.

Bill Nye the Science Guy has taken the internet by storm with Twitter rumors that he was killed in a balloon accident (sparked by The Onion) and his new Web series for Big Think. Most recently, however, our favorite childhood TV scientist sparked a lively debate through his video blog, pitting science against creationism, and America, obviously, had something to say about it.

It was back on this day in 2006 that everything we had been taught about the planets was wrong.  It was back on this day that, My Very Educated Mother Just Served us Nine Pizzas would not longer help us to remember the order of the planets.  It was back on this day that anyone born after 2001 would not know that Pluto was once a planet because scientists said it wasn't.

Most people have what’s called ‘personal space‘ — an amount of room that we’re comfortable having between us and other people. But have you ever wondered why?

Every so often something in space happens that sends excitement throughout Earth.  Back in the 80's it was Haley's Comet (which is something you can only see every 75 years).  Every time we have a lunar or solar eclipse people get excited.  However, something is happening today that is a once in a lifetime event.

Spongebob Squarepants is a cartoon on Nickeloden loved by most children and hated by most parents.  However, with that said it is a cartoon and of course the stuff that goes on in that cartoon is pure fiction.  So with that said Spongebob can live in a pineapple under the sea if he wants no matter what the mathematical world says.

Every now and then it is important for adults to have a night out on the town.  That is why the Don Harrington Discovery Center offers nights where they have events just for adults.  If you have never attended on of their evening events you are missing out.  However, don't worry because you are in luck because the Mad Scientist Ball is happening on Friday, October 22nd.
