LUNAR METEORITES HELP EXPLAIN MOON’S FORMATION
Ever since Galileo used one of the first telescopes to see the craters on the moon, scientists have sought to understand how we came by our huge natural satellite.

When Time Runs Out CH2
So, tell me: Why is it when you are put into a worst-case scenario, rock bottom is still two or three feet below that. Yet still, manages to come and bite you. Being face to face with this creature, gave me enough to question if the bottom had been hit yet.

Lost for more than 40 years, an American satellite suddenly appears and sends a signal to Earth. Who controls it?
A satellite that has been out of contact for more than 40 years suddenly sends a signal to humans. Should we answer? It's like something out of science fiction, but it's playing out in real life.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Nobody can see a dream in the absence of grace, that’s why we pray.

Section X
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. If anyone could hear anything I was doing right now, it would be a gift. My eyelids keep drifting shut as the blood running down the side of my face begins to slow. I think I have a concussion. I wasn’t this sleepy until I was wacked from behind. My Del4 Comm which lets me communicate with people who have the same model, wherever they might be, is missing. More likely that whoever bashed my head against the wall took it, which sucks. It’s the only way that I can reach my parents or anyone else on NorthStarDelta, a space station that floats about few million miles from Mars.

Blue Shadows
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Sound had to have air to travel, that was the science behind it. However Louise felt a chill run through her while she was on her walk. She couldn’t tell if it was a true scream or just her imagination. She had just watched an old horror film recently. She looked out the vast windows at the small blue sphere that lay beyond the horizon. The Earth was setting and she would have to return to her family’s cabin soon. All of the lunar colonies had been originally inhabited by single scientists and astronauts here for research so that eventually more Earth born dwellers could join. The Selene colony was first, designed for testing how to mimic the atmospheric conditions of Earth while still maintaining the level of gravity the moon did. Jericho was the colony that tested the long term effect of life in a lessened gravity environment. Such things as whether or not children would survive in the colony, or if they could even be conceived. There were huge ethical hoops to jump through as part of that establishment, which made it one of the last colonies to be tested. Once it was determined after years of research and volunteer missions, the moon was deemed fit for human habitation.

Spaces Between
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. As luck pervaded, it was 4:44 in the morning, on a dark and rainy night somewhere in Edinburgh. Yet another Magnificent echo of a city, buried in absolute stoned plasma and mud, immaculate. Yet another scene of horror. Was it 1894 or 4044 A.R (After Reset)? The thought didn’t resonate anymore. Nor did it matter. None remembered the ‘when’, or the ‘how’. All left were remnants of a muddied social control, or seekers of vengeance through fire and flood.

The Great Nothing
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Anyone else may find traveling through such a void horrifying, yet it’s all I can think about. Naturally, I mean the Great Nothing, 700 million light-years away. The observable universe is so large, but no area has fewer galaxies than that dark, desolate place. It’s practically an anomaly. Shrouded in mystery.

A Girl of Death and Starlight
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Anyone with a grasp on basic physics or astronomy would be able to tell you that; but the cries of the innocent could defy even the stone law of science.

Musculus Misadventures
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I tried to push the stupid thought out of my mind. Now was not the time for all the trivial blasts of information my mind was so used to spewing. A brief image of my mother fluttered through my mind before I forced myself to open my eyes. They closed again involuntarily as the sound came through my com.link. Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space… Or so they say. They were probably ignorant of the fact that we have com.links built into our suits. His scream was truly deafening.

Look to the Stars
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But if you could, what would it sound like? A blood-curdling yell? An anguished wail? The plaintive cry of a creature in pain, lost and alone?

Attempting the Impossible.
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” ‘Don’t say that!’ ‘Pfft- Sorry, ahaha, couldn’t help myself.’ Captain Nathan Atherton scoffs at his scientific counterpart’s expense.
