A team works on the "Incredible Science Machine" on 7/16/15 at Detroit’s “Michigan Science Center”. This large chain reaction machine contained more than half a million objects, including about 200,000 dominoes and thousands of other common objects. Unfortunately the contraption didn’t quite set the record for “largest chain reaction machine” since several of its sections failed after being triggered on 7/18/15. (AP)

On 7/28/15, a team of scientists from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne announced the identities of four men buried within Jamestown Virginia’s historic 1608 church. The remains have been identified as Rev. Robert Hunt, Capt. Gabriel Archer, Sir Ferdinando Wainman and Capt. William West, all high-status leaders who helped shape the future of America during the initial phase of the Jamestown colony. (James Di Loreto/Smithsonian Institution)

NASA's NuSTAR telescope has captured high-energy X-rays coming from active regions across the sun. This image was created by combining observations from NuSTAR along with several other telescopes. The image was presented on 7/8/15 at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, Wales. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/GSFC/JAXA)

Caltech led scientists discovered a powerful auroral display – seen in this artist’s conception – on a brown dwarf star some 20 light years away. The scientists said that these auroras also happen to be hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than any detected in our solar system. This discovery was outlined in the 7/30/15 edition of the journal “Nature”. (Chuck Carter and Gregg Hallinan/Caltech)
