Europe’s GOCE satellite has produced one of the most unique views of the Earth that we have ever seen. The colorful new map produced by the satellite depicts the influence the pull of gravity has around the world. Known as a geoid -- a mathematical figure of the Earth through gravitational calculations -- it essentially defines where the level surface is on our planet. It shows us which way is “up” and which way is “down”. The GOCE satellite flies so low in orbit that it comes very clo...

Six years after undergoing quadruple bypass surgery, one of the four bypass grafts Clinton received had become completely blocked. The solution seemed simple: After being admitted to a New York hospital for chest pain, Clinton underwent an hour-long surgery and walked away with two new stents that propped his artery open. Once considered a miracle, stent installations like...
