Mars has fascinated humanity since Galileo Galilei accurately observed it more than 400 years ago. Now we’re getting to the point of trying to land spaceships on the planet, which is the stated goal of President Donald Trump and his advisor, Elon Musk.
Join us this Sunday at 8.00pm UK time for an exhilarating episode of The Amish Inquisition! This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Physics Professor Michael Pravica as our special guest. Michael has taken the world by storm with his groundbreaking insights, following a feature in Popular Mechanics that delves deep into the enigmas of consciousness and hyperdimensionality.
Some Las Vegans have been looking to the sky for hints of alien life for decades, but ºÚÁÏÍø geoscience professor Libby Hausrath has gotten closer than any of them to finding sound proof.
Foxx and Annie spoke with Professor Michael Pravica about the asteroid that is moving towards earth. He's a professor of physics and astronomy. Will the 2024 YR4 asteroid hit NYC?
Science enthusiasts are closely watching asteroid 2024 YR4, the most hazardous asteroid ever detected.
Could Asteroid 2024 YR4 hit Earth? FOX 9 All Day chats with Michael Pravica, an astrophysicist at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, about the potential. The odds of the asteroid hitting Earth did recently go up, again, to 3.1% or a 1-in-32 chance.
Germs are everywhere, but these spots in your home are extra ick!
Las Vegas locals began a project in the 1990s to protect a geological marvel at the edge of town. They made educational signs and were joined by politicians including late Sen. Harry Reid and then-Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, but the area was vandalized soon after.

NASA's Perseverance rover has been busy gathering bits of Mars — rock cores the size of chalk sticks, clusters of broken fragments no bigger than pencil erasers, and even grains of dust fine enough to sit on the tip of a needle.
New research and samples released today by NASA and ºÚÁÏÍø show some early results of a years long mission dedicated to determining whether the planet Mars ever supported life.
ºÚÁÏÍø recently released a report with findings on the first ever handpicked samples from Mars.
