Need to chill out?

We hear you. This year’s been a lot so far.

So why not take a refreshing trip to one of Jupiter’s icy moons? We hear they’re lovely this time of year …

... and we know a robot who might be heading that way too

Rather stay here on Earth?

We’ve got some cool ground-bound stories for you as well. This week, we’re meeting five of WA’s newest Peacock spiders, renowned for their stellar dance moves and their fabulous fashion sense. We’ll also take a look at how we can literally keep cool – without making our planet hotter at the same time.

Let these colourful internet sensations brighten your day.

The impact that air-conditioning has on the globe may surprise you.

Earth day is upon us – or at least it was yesterday. If you missed it, there’s still time to catch up on your green fuzzy feelings today. Try hugging a tree, or listening to this week’s Particle Podcast with environmental scientist and author, H M Waugh.

Or why not dive in to some of our favourite articles from the Earth section of the site? We’ve collected a couple of our favourites below.

Feeling keen and green? Great! Let's start with the podcast.
