Some believe that permitting their teens to drink in a controlled environment can help them learn to handle alcohol responsibly, reducing the allure of sneaking around to drink. Others may have cultural or familial backgrounds where moderate drinking is normalized, viewing it as a rite of passage. Additionally, some parents might feel that as long as their children are safe at home, it's better to allow them to drink rather than risk them...

Did you catch the comet? The human mind may find it difficult to conceptualize: a cosmic cloud so colossal it surrounds the Sun and eight planets as it extends trillions of miles into deep space.

Astronomers infer the Oort Cloud is there because it's the only logical...
