The Big Bang Theory Premiered On This Day 13 Years AgoWarner Bros.

It’s been 13 years since Leonard, Sheldon, Raj and Howard first entered our lives, meaning The Big Bang Theory is officially a teenager! Fitting, since the characters so often behaved as such. 

Sure, they might have been experts in their fields, winning awards and taking part in scientific efforts across Earth and beyond, but they also shied away from women – or used horrendous chat up lines to try and win them over – spent hours playing video games, and fought over comic books, movie props and action figures.

After kicking off in September 2007, the show went on to become the longest-running multicamera comedy in TV history, finally wrapping up last year after 12 seasons.

Over the years we saw the characters grow and mature, establish relationships and face multiple challenges, all while regularly spouting scientific jargon that only in-the-know viewers could understand.

Though science isn’t for everyone, the series proved incredibly successful as it racked up 52 Emmy nominations, 10 wins and seven Golden Globes throughout its years on screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Big Bang Theory concluded its run as TV’s No. 1 scripted comedy among total viewers, and ranked as TV’s most-watched comedy for seven of its seasons.

Johnny Galecki, who played Leonard in the series, said he wasn’t sure whether another comedy would ever match the reach and track record of The Big Bang Theory.

He commented:

They asked the cast of Friends the same thing when they wrapped the show, so I’m not sure.

I don’t see it on the horizon and I feel incredibly fortunate for many reasons. But to be the longest-running multicam sitcom and to have that schedule of 24 episodes a season? I don’t foresee that happening again. I feel like one of the last animals on the arc.

The series might be over, but its success proves it’s one that will be remembered for years to come.

ABC7/Nicole Lillig Klosowski/Twitter Police are investigating an ‘act of vandalism’ after a Black Lives Mural outside of Chicago was defaced to read ‘All Lives Matter’.  Authorities in Oak Park, a village near the Illinois city, said the incident took place overnight from Tuesday, July 7, into the following morning. The mural, nearly 100ft in width and located near Oak Park and River Forest High School, had only been painted two weeks ago. While police have yet to make any arrests connected with the vandalism, officers have ‘gathered evidence they hope will identify’ those responsible. Someone vandalized the BLM street painting in Oak Park, two blocks from my home. In this village people pride themselves on their openness to and respect for diversity. Clearly some who live here don’t place much importance in that, which is pretty fucking sad pic.twitter.com/VFJsj7pnbq — Peter Barber (@PeterBarber_sez) July 8, 2020 After a portion of the mural with the word ‘Black’ was cover

Scientists Believe The Moon Is Now Rusting

Unsplash The Moon’s surface has started to turn red, leading scientists to believe the planet may be rusting.  Rust – or iron oxide – is created when iron comes into contact with water and oxygen; two things the moon does not have. This has left the researchers at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) who obtained the data puzzled as to how it has been created. PA Images A reddish-black mineral form of iron called hematite has been discovered to be forming, especially near the Moon’s poles, which is giving it this unique colouring. Lead author of the paper detailing the discovery is Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii, who described the findings ‘very puzzling’. He added that ‘the Moon is a terrible environment for hematite to form in’. Li then turned to JPL scientists Abigail Fraeman and Vivian Sun to see if they could help. In a statement to NASA , Fraeman said: At first, I totally didn’t believe it. It shouldn’t exist based on the conditions present on the Moon. But sin
