🔦 Next Tuesday night, NASA wants the whole planet to blink at Voyager 1. At 5:16 a.m. EST on Wednesday, Nov. 18, Voyager 1 becomes the first human-made object to reach one light-day from Earth: about 16.1 billion miles. A radio message from home will take 24 hours to arrive, and NASA won't hear back until the same time on Nov. 19. Launched Sept. 5, 1977, it took 49 years, 2 months and 11 days to get there, cruising at nearly 38,000 mph. In about 40,000 years, it will pass within 1.7 light-years of a star called Gliese 445. To celebrate, NASA invites everyone to point a light at the sky after sunset on Nov. 17 and flash "V-G-R," Voyager's call sign, in Morse code. Will you be flashing?

🕚 At 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918, the guns of World War I fell silent. But the Armistice had been signed around 5 a.m., in a railway carriage in France's Compiègne Forest. The fighting was allowed to go on for six more hours, and men kept dying until the very end. At 10:59 a.m., American Pvt. Henry Gunther charged a German machine-gun position and was killed, one minute before the ceasefire. He's remembered as the last American killed in the war. He fell during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, which ran from Sept. 26 to Nov. 11 and remains the deadliest campaign in U.S. history: more than 26,000 Americans killed.

🚀 NASA is hiring astronauts, and the job posting mentions a Moon Base. Applications for NASA's next astronaut class opened Nov. 7 and close at 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 3. The people chosen will train to work on the lunar surface and help lay the groundwork for the first crewed missions to Mars. The odds are steep. The last time NASA asked, in 2024, more than 8,000 people applied and 10 were selected. You must be a U.S. citizen, and most candidates need a master's degree in a STEM field or an equivalent. The final picks come in late 2027. Would you apply? Reply with your pick: 🌕 Yes, send me to the Moon 🔴 Only if it's Mars 🛋️ I'll watch from the couch Watch History by the Numbers, Episode 17 "Astronauts," on Curiosity Stream to see what it takes. #NASA #CuriosityStream

📡 On this day in 1896, inventor Guglielmo Marconi applied for the first patent for a wireless telegraph system in the United Kingdom. At a time when scientists believed radio signals couldn't travel beyond the horizon, Marconi had a different idea. In 1901, he successfully received a wireless transmission sent across the Atlantic Ocean—proving that long-distance wireless communication was possible. That breakthrough helped pave the way for modern radio, wireless communication, and even technologies that would later contribute to radar. It also helped save lives at sea, as wireless distress signals became an essential part of maritime safety. The most remarkable part? Marconi didn't invent radio waves. His genius was recognizing how a scientific discovery could be transformed into something practical that would change the world.

🪟 Before it was "Windows," it was called "Interface Manager." On Nov. 10, 1983, at New York's Plaza Hotel, a 28-year-old Bill Gates announced Microsoft Windows: a graphical add-on for MS-DOS that let you run several programs at once, each in its own window. Then came the wait. Windows 1.0 didn't ship until Nov. 20, 1985, two years later, for $99. Today, Windows runs on more than a billion devices. Gates had co-founded Microsoft with Paul Allen in 1975, the same year he left Harvard. Be honest: what was the first computer or operating system you ever used? 👇 (Bonus points for floppy disks.)

🩻 On Nov. 8, 1895, a physics professor in Würzburg saw something glow that shouldn't have. Wilhelm Röntgen had wrapped a cathode-ray tube in black cardboard. Yet a nearby screen coated with a fluorescent chemical lit up anyway. Invisible rays were passing right through. He didn't know what they were, so he called them "X" rays. On Dec. 22, he imaged his wife Anna Bertha's hand, bones, ring and all. Her reported reaction: "I have seen my death." Röntgen won the first-ever Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901, and he never patented his discovery, so everyone could benefit. Guess: how long did it take X-rays to reach doctors? Weeks, months, or years? 👇 Watch Oops, I Changed the World (Episode 7, "Hair Raising Science") on Curiosity Stream to see how messing around with a scientific toy gave us the X-ray. #XRay #CuriosityStream

How can a scientific theory put an innocent person behind bars? In this clip from CSI On Trial, the case of Audrey Edmunds reveals how “Shaken Baby Syndrome” became widely accepted in courtrooms—despite growing doubts within the scientific community. Fueled by fear, media attention, and cultural anxieties of the 1980s, a controversial diagnosis helped secure convictions that are now being reexamined. After 11 years in prison, Edmunds was freed when key expert testimony unraveled.
