May 22, 2018 Lisa Mungovan

This weekend, China launched the Queqiao, a satellite that will orbit the moon. It will relay messages from the Chang’e-4, a lunar lander that China plans on sending to the dark side of the moon. It also carried a radio antenna from the Netherlands and 2 microsatellites, named Longjiang 1 and 2. The moon will be well connected!

Pot of Gold at the End of the Drainbow

March 18, 2018 Lisa Mungovan

A Dutch drinking water company was laying new pipes underground in Hoef en Haag when they found a surprise. There must have been leprechauns living in the Netherlands in the 15th century, because workers found an ancient pot of gold! The treasure of gold and silver coins was at the end of the drainbow, haha hehehe.
