Boaty McBoatface is heading to Antarctica to help scientists answer urgent questions

TwitterFacebook

The British research submarine that the internet named "Boaty McBoatface" is headed to Antarctica as part of the largest U.S. scientific collaboration with the U.K. in Antarctica in 70 years. 

The project, which will involve more than 100 scientists when it gets started later this year, is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the biggest wild card in sea level rise predictions: the fate of the remote Thwaites Glacier, and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet that it helps hold back from the sea. 

The autonomous Boaty McBoatface submarine, is designed to gather data underneath the ice and will be a key asset for the research program. (Initially, the Natural Environment Research Council, which put on the 2016 naming campaign, wanted the voting public to name a large, polar research ship, but after the people voted for the name Boaty McBoatface, the organization gave the honor of that name to the sub and went with the more dignified RRS Sir David Attenborough for the ship.)

That's the move Solange pulled on Tuesday when she unexpectedly announced she would be leaving Twitter without explanation. But before she left, she posed two important questions—and shared a heart-wrenching note on Instagram about the messiness we've all endured.  SEE ALSO: It looks like Beyoncé, Solange, and Michelle Obama all hung out (we're so jealous) "Deleting my Twitter soon, but before I dip," she wrote. "When we gonna pull up? And what we got to do to get my new hero Takiyah Thompson free?"  Read more...
