Astronauts currently stationed on the International Space Station, or ISS, prepared pizzas in zero gravity on Monday. Timelapse footage from the station shows the team of astronauts throwing pizzas to one another as they floated in mid-air. ISS Manager Kirk Shireman decided to surprise the astronauts with the ingredients for making pizzas, after the topic was brought up at a live public event.
Scientists at Moscow's Skoltech may have found a way to dramatically reduce solar energy costs by making solar panels with a new inorganic super-efficient material called Perovskite. Perovskite is the name given to Calcium Titanate, a rare mineral found in the Earth's mantle and named after Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski. In 2009, researchers discovered that Perovskite can efficiently convert the energy of visible light into electricity, and experiments on using the material in solar panels began. Now, a new and improved Perovskite solar panel is just about ready to hit markets.
NASA astronauts use a 6 ½ hour spacewalk to install a docking station for upcoming commercial space taxis, which will end U.S. reliance on Russia for rides to the orbiting outpost. Rough cut (no reporter narration).
