 Daytona Beach FL (SPX) Mar 06, 2018 
At first, inflatable habitats in orbit around Earth may sound like a dangerous idea, given that the vacuum of space is littered with, as NASA says, "millions of pieces of human-made debris or space junk consisting mainly of fragmented rocket bodies and spacecraft parts created by 50 years of exploration."
Most space debris is tiny - almost microscopic - but there are also millions of natur ... more |

 Minneapolis MN (SPX) Mar 08, 2018 
For nearly two decades, scientists have noted dramatic changes in arctic tundra habitat. Ankle-high grasses and sedges have given way to a sea of woody shrubs growing to waist- or neck-deep heights. This shrubification of the tundra challenges animals like caribou that are adapted to low-stature arctic vegetation.
Pinpointing a cause has been difficult. However, new UMN research published ... more |
