September 28th is a newfound holiday and benchmark of yet another view into space for mankind; after 15 years of searching for evidence, this day in 2015 was the day water was confirmed to be on Mars. "Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of it in the past," says Jim Green from NASA, "Liquid water has been found on Mars." Dark streaks that marked the surface and slopes of Mars were further investigated and proven to be liquid water flowing down the planet's ridges. During warm…

Over thousands of years, intellectuals have presented their viewpoints on the guidelines of human existence. The Age of Enlightenment, hence the name, was a time of new thoughts, ingenuity, and a stronger understanding of the universe.
