This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.

Brexit makes a trip to the UK a great travel deal

The collapsing value of the pound in the wake of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union is frightening news for the country’s economy — but great news for Americans itching to plan a last minute summer vacation.

What is it Like to Visit Jupiter?

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. For some perspective, if it were hollow, more than 1,300 Earths could fit inside of it! The giant planet contains two-thirds of all the planetary mass in the solar system and holds more than dozens of moons in its gravitational grip. But what about a visit to this giant planet?

Let’s be honest…Jupiter is not a nice place to visit. It’s a giant ball of gas and there’s nowhere to land. Any spacecraft – or person – passing through the colorful clouds gets crushed and melted. On Jupiter, the pressure is so strong it squishes gas into liquid. Its atmosphere can crush a metal spaceship like a paper cup.

Jupiter’s stripes and swirls are cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a giant storm BIGGER THAN EARTH! This storm has lasted hundreds of years.

Since Jupiter’s atmosphere is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium, it’s poisonous. There’s also dangerous radiation, more than 1,000 times the lethal level for a human.  

Scientists think that Jupiter’s core may be a thick, super hot soup…up to 50,000 degrees! Woah!

The Moons

Did you know that Jupiter has its own “mini solar system” of 50 moons? Scientists are most interested in the Galilean satellites – which are the four largest moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. 

Today, Galileo would be astounded to know some of the facts about these moons. The moon Io has active volcanos. Ganymede has its own magnetic field while Europa has a frozen crust with liquid-water underneath making it a tempting place to explore for future missions.

When Juno arrives to Jupiter on July 4, it will bring with it a slew of instruments such as infrared imager/spectrometer and vector magnetometer among the half a dozen other scientific tools in its payload.

Juno will avoid Jupiter’s highest radiation regions by approaching over the north, dropping to an altitude below the planet’s radiation belts – which are analogous to Earth’s Van Allen belts, but far more deadly – and then exiting over the south. To protect sensitive spacecraft electronics, Juno will carry the first radiation shielded electronics vault, a critical feature for enabling sustained exploration in such a heavy radiation environment.

Stunning Jewellery Collection Pays Homage to the Solar System by Lauren Beacham

American artist Lauren Beacham left her job as a gallery director to dedicate her herself and artistry to her newfound passion as a jewelry designer. With a BFA in photography, Beacham transformed a creative outlet into a full-time job. As the studio continued to grow, her husband joined Yugen as a partner and business development director. A reflection of her otherworldly-inspired work, her independent boutique is named after the Japanese term, which is defined as an awareness of the universe that triggers emotional responses too deep and mysterious for words.

Impassioned by our galaxy, Beacham recreates our solar system in every piece of her jewelry. Composed or a variety of materials, including rhodium plated brass, glass, giclee, magnets and other tools, small images of the solar system are present in every charm. The inclusion of the phases of the moon, one of the biggest muse in art is carefully placed in charming bracelets. Its obscure and intriguing beauty is easily admired up close.

Overall Beacham caters to the nostalgic stargazer who is in love with mystery and beauty beyond grasp. She allows us to take fragments of stardust everywhere with us. The demand to be inspired and to dream is reflected in her work.  Romantic in nature, every detail causes a sense of lost nostalgia and chimera. You can find her entire collection in her Etsy shop.
