This Monday, Mars fans rejoiced as NASA’s lander Mars InSight successfully
parachuted safely onto the large, flat plain of Elysium Planitia. In the days
that followed, the lander successfully has deployed its solar panels and begun
to unstow its robotic arm. Learn more about the landing, https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/insight-settles-in-on-

science news.
Then, wind energy development is spreading around the nation. But as developers move to identify promising locations for wind farms, however, they may need to consider more than just logistics, wind speeds, and distribution lines. Researchers report that “wake effects” from one wind farm can sap the energy of a downwind generating facility as far as 50 km away.
Part II of the Fourth National Climate Assessment describes how every part of our society and every state in our country will be impacted by a warmer world. Not just by hurricanes, floods and wildfires, but by https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/where-will-climate-change- impact-the-u-s-everywhere/" target="new">more rainfall in the Midwest, thawing permafrost in Alaska, and drier air in the Southeast.https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/where- will-climate-change-impact-the-u-s-everywhere/" target="new">
And finally, calling all science educators! We're teaming up with science educators across the country in our https://www.sciencefriday.com/educational-resources/2018-science- friday-educator-collaborative/" target="new">Science Friday Educator Collaborative Program, in which educators work with SciFri staff to develop resources for science learners everywhere. Applications are open now. Read more
