Tim Peake, a British astronaut aboard the International Space Station, tweeted out an apology after dialing a wrong number from space.

In November 2015, a photo snapped from the International Space Station raised eyebrows of some UFO enthusiasts who suggested the image captured an unidentified flying craft.

A fake news article circulating online suggests that the planet will experience 15 days of darkness in late November 2015.

A graphic shows two images of our planet, one dated 1978 and the other dated 2012. The 1978 photo shows a much greener United States, while the 2012 image appears to be devoid of vegetation.

A claim circulating online states that the earth is slowing and a day is now 24 seconds longer than it was only two years ago. Is this true or false?
