(Reuters) In his first presidential debate with Democrat Hillary Clinton on Monday night, Republican candidate Donald Trump played loose with the facts on how China is devaluing its currency, made an apparent shift in position on continuing to fund NATO defense of European allies and seemed to call for China to invade North Korea.

The spaceship that SpaceX is building to colonize Mars could also take people out to Jupiter's ocean-harboring moon Europa and beyond, company founder and CEO Elon Musk said. On Tuesday (Sept. 27), Musk unveiled SpaceX's planned Interplanetary Transport System (ITS), a rocket-spaceship combo that the billionaire entrepreneur hopes will allow humanity to establish a permanent, self-sustaining, million-person settlement on the Red Planet. Mars is the first planned stop for ITS, but it ..>> view originalGeysers On Europa: NASA Finds More Evidence Of Water Plumes On Jupiter Moon
NASA revealed on Monday that the Hubble Space Telescope has found what appear to be water vapor plumes erupting from the surface of Europa, one of the 67 known moons of planet Jupiter. Astronomers used Hubble to image what could be water vapor plumes erupting off the surface of the icy moon. The findings strengthen other Hubble observations that hint of geysers of water on Europa. Astronomers may use the James Webb Space Telescope, which is set to be launched in 2018 to confirm the plume activi..>> view originalControversial 3-parent baby technique produces a boy

Images acquired by NASA's MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft show geologic features that indicate Mercury is likely still contracting today, joining Earth as a tectonically active planet in our solar system. Previously undetected small fault scarps were observed in images collected during the MESSENGER mission's final 18 months in orbit around Mercury, according to a new paper in Nature Geoscience [http://www.nature.com/ngeo/index.html]. ..>> view originalStudy: Earth is at its warmest in about 120000 years
WASHINGTON — A new study paints a picture of an Earth that is warmer than it has been in about 120,000 years, and is locked into eventually hitting its hottest mark in more than 2 million years. As part of her doctoral dissertation at Stanford University, Carolyn Snyder , now a climate policy official at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, created a continuous 2 million year temperature record, much longer than a previous 22,000 year record. Snyder’s temperature reconstruction, published ..>> view originalDid your zodiac sign change? Don't worry, NASA says astrology is still fake
All over the world, people check their horoscopes to see what's in store for them for the day.

Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia are among the states challenging the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan, or CPP, in oral arguments Tuesday before the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. The CPP aims to reduce by about a third the power plant emissions of CO2, a greenhouse gas that scientists have identified as a major cause of climate change. The pollution reductions would come in phases over a little more than two decades. Supporters, including 19 states, several scientific and..>> view originalALERT: Red Tide Hits Tampa Bay Area
