A massive crater on asteroid Psyche may hold the key to whether it’s a lost planet’s core or something more complex. New simulations suggest NASA’s upcoming mission could finally solve the mystery. More than 200 years after asteroid 16 Psyche was first identified, scientists are still trying to understand how it formed. Psyche is the […]
Mars Was Once Warm and Wet. NASA’s ESCAPADE Is About to Learn What Went Wrong
NASA’s twin ESCAPADE spacecraft will uncover how the Sun stripped Mars of its atmosphere. Mars is a very different world today than it once was. Scientists believe the planet used to have a thicker atmosphere, liquid water on its surface, and a warmer environment. Now it is cold, dry, and surrounded by only a thin […]
Deep Ocean Microbes May Already Be Adapting to Climate Change
As climate change pushes heat deeper into the ocean, scientists have been concerned about disruptions to marine life’s delicate balance. But new research suggests that a key microbe, Nitrosopumilus maritimus, may already be adapting to these harsher conditions. Rising temperatures are no longer limited to the ocean’s surface. Heat waves and long-term climate change are […]

Extreme Weather Is Shrinking Baby Birds in a 60-Year Study
Sixty years of data show that cold snaps and heavy rain can stunt the growth of baby birds and reduce their survival chances. A study from the University of Oxford, published March 11, finds that sudden cold spells and heavy rain can slow growth and lower survival chances for young great tits in the UK. […]
Something Strange Is Happening Deep Inside Greenland’s Ice Sheet
Scientists discovered that Greenland’s ice sheet may be slowly churning deep below the surface, revealing a hidden process shaping its future. Buried far beneath Greenland’s vast ice sheet, scientists have identified enormous swirling, plume-like formations. These unusual structures have baffled researchers for more than ten years. Now, scientists at the University of Bergen (UiB) believe […]
