<h3><a href="https://www.steemstem.io/#!/@samminator/our-humanity-the-pri-1568960627">
The Price To Pay For Technological Advancement?</a></h3>

<center><img style="padding:5px" width="350" src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRHaJTgYtuV2B5khxqxJwkfjPVBnEi7MoU7orNWYgpwrs/Neil%20harbisson.jpg"></center>

@samminator, one of the oldest SteemSTEM members still on board, returned to write about STEM this week. He discussed the future of the human race when technological enhancements are accounted for, and emphasise the risk of getting to two classes of humans (enhanced and non-enhanced ones). Please pass by and contribute to the debate.<br>


<h3><a href="https://www.steemstem.io/#!/@svemirac/astronomy-news-05-gr-1569116670">Gravitational waves, black holes &amp; star clusters</a></h3>

<center><img style="padding:5px" width="300" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/1961/31209212018_34af4757f9_o.png"></center>

Gastrophysics is a very young field in physics. @svemirac provides a crash course on the topic in his last post and details how gravitational waves have allowed us to directly discover black holes for the first time in human history. In addition, he also briefly mentions how life was imported to Earth by asteroids and the new results of GAIA.
