Our Apologies - Where's Don Draper When You Need Him!

Please accept our apologies for some of the absolutely awful and untargeted ads that have shown up lately in the Daily Galaxy advertising rotation. 

When our world-class premium advertising partners -IDG and Natural Path- have no ads to display, we have been using national ad networks that display what they call "remnant ads" -many of which we have learned-bodybuilding, video games and so forth- do not match either the quality of our content or the intelligence of our users -you!

We are attempting to have these offensive ads blocked from appearing on the site. Our thanks for your understanding and patience.

A Few Quick Questions That Will Help The Daily Galaxy Win the Planet's Top Advertisers

The Daily Flash -Eco, Space, Tech (9/15)

TiVo This: New Mythbusters Season Starts October 7th

Just a reminder that our friends at Mythbusters are starting their new season on October 7th. Did you know they've "tested more than 700 myths, conducted nearly 2,300 experiments, set off 711 explosions and destroyed 104 vehicles" since their 2003 premier?

MIT Students Explain How to Photograph Space for $150

On September 2, Justin Lee and Oliver Yeh successfully took these images of Earth's curvature and the blackness of space using only a weather balloon and off-the-shelf components—without complicated hacks. Total cost: $148. Here's how they did it.

Want Your Own Dinosaur? Place Your Bids

If you ever dreamed of owning your own dinosaur, now’s your chance. Possibly the most impressive natural history auction ever is set to take place Oct. 3 at the Venetian Casino in Las Vegas. The main event will be Samson, one of the best T. rex skeletons ever found. But there are around 50 lots for sale, including many impressive, museum-quality rarities, all of which will be on display to the public in the weeks preceding the auction.

China breaks ground on space launch center

China broke ground on its fourth space center Monday, highlighting the country's soaring space ambitions six years after it sent its first man into orbit. The space port on the southern island province of Hainan incorporates a launch site and mission control center for slinging the country's massive new rockets into space carrying satellites and components for a future space station and deep space exploration.

 Carbon Capture Summit

The average American generates 15,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Researchers are trying to figure out where to put all of it, since the atmosphere has turned out to be a less-than-ideal place. One notion is to sequester CO2 in forests or underground -- Norway and Britain are working on a way to put billions of tons under the bed of the North Sea.

Endangered Hawksbill Turtles Saved

Good news: 849 hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) were rescued last week from a farm in Bich Dam Hamlet in Nha Trang City. According to local news sources, police confiscated the endangered turtles from Mac Tien Nang, who said he had purchased the turtles last October. Nang was cited for violating endangered species trade laws, although the details of his citation were not yet published.
