Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider during a science experiment, giving him superpowers. Uncle Ben, who was Peter’s uncle, was killed by a burglar. Peter has to deal w

At the same time, the bald eagle population was also poor. Native to Tennessee, the bald eagle was sitting at a few to no bre

This mission allows us to test to see how life-supporting technology will allow us to travel in deep space. And now we have broken the record of how far humans have been from Earth. Also, we get to take pictures of the far side of the moon that we have never seen before. But the overall end goal of this mission is to construct a moon base in roughly 4 year

By: Axel Rivas We are currently climbing up to the climax of many amazing media adaptations. If you are a fan of comics or manga, you are definitely hearing the hype of 2 shows that are releasing their very anticipated stories weekly: Jujutsu Kaisen and Invincible. Both shows feature intense fights, magical powers, and very in-depth, jaw-dropping storytelling. I highly recommend getting into these shows, even if you aren’t into anime or superheroes, and a graphic content

By Gage Snyder March Madness is one of the most exciting sporting events of the year. One of the reasons that March Madness is so popular is because of all the chaos that happens with it. For example, the low-sided teams beating the higher-sided teams make them a Cinderella team. There is almost always a Cinderella team that makes it further than anyone expected. Another way that makes March Madness so special is the brackets that people make. In 2025, there were more th

By: Pablo Gonzalez You might have heard about how AI(Artificial Intelligence) affects our environment in bad ways. Using massive amounts of water to cool the computers, high energy consumption, and carbon emissions. But I bet you did not know that AI is messing with our electrical frequency, which distorts power supplies. This is called bad harmonics. You can think about bad harmonics as the static noise you hear on a speaker’s volume when it is higher than it can handle.

It is a strategic tool used for espionage, econom
