May 25, 2026 Making Proxima Centauri B Habitable
What would it actually take to turn Proxima Centauri b into a livable world? 🌍✨
Orbiting the closest star to our Sun, this Earth-sized exoplanet sits in the so-called habitable zone—but that doesn’t mean it’s ready for humans. From deadly stellar flares and tidal locking to missing atmospheres and extreme radiation, Proxima b comes with some serious challenges.

May 20, 2026 What If Quetzalcoatlus Never Went Extinct?
A terrifying shadow casts over the city as a massive prehistoric creature, the Quetzalcoatlus, flies above, faster than the cars below, hunting in packs. Today, we explore what it would be like if this massive pterosaur had never gone extinct. Discover how Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar is connected to this story.

So, what is Quetzalcoatlus? Contrary to appearances, it is not a dinosaur or a pterodactyl but a pterosaur, a giant reptile from the past.
