Chimpanzees and other life forms are often used in labs for scientific studies. Sadly, some of these studies harm the creatures being studied, some don't. All are intended to further scientific knowledge, some are also intended to support commercial interests.

There is a decline in the Bee population. This has been linked to pesticides and habitat loss.

Extra Terrestrial Intelligence life probably exists elsewhere in the Universe, but so far there hasn't been any signs to vindicate the theory

Polarised lenses can be used to reduce reflected glare on the source of water by removing the horizontal portion of the light. This is useful but it also has a negative effect on LCD screens, making them difficult to see.

Radio telescopes are instruments that are used to detect radio signals in space. They are also invaluable for collecting data from satellites and tracking their position.

The Earth has an ionosphere caused by ultra violet rays breaking apart atoms of air, ionising it. The Moon does not have an atmosphere and so should not have an ionosphere, but it does. It was discovered that ultra violet rays were acting on grains of dust ionising them, and the Moon is a very dusty place.

Time capsules are a popular way of preserving the present for examination at a later date by future generations. Current artefacts are placed in a sealed container, quite often cylindrical, and buried where it cannot be disturbed easily.

Bees are an essential part of the well being of Earth's Eco-system. Their decline is worrying scientists all over the world.

Someday, evidence that there is life out in the universe may be found

Polarised lenses are popular for sunglasses

Radio telescopes usually have a central antenna that picks up the signals reflected from a a large disc surrounding it.

The Moon does actually have a very thin atmosphere caused by gases escaping from rocks.

All you need for your own time capsule is an air and water tight container, and somewhere to put it that won't be disturbed for a very long time.
