Two satellites just avoided a head-on smash. How close did they come to disaster? Sydney, Australia (The Conservation) Jan 31, 2020 It appears we have missed another close call between two satellites - but how close did we really come to a catastrophic event in space? It all began with a series of tweets from LeoLabs, a co ... more

A "beating heart" of frozen nitrogen controls Pluto's winds and may give rise to features on its surface, according to a new study.
Pluto's famous heart-shaped structure, named Tombaugh Regio, quickly became famous after NASA's New Horizons mission captured footage of the dwarf planet in 2015 and revealed it isn't the barren world scientists thought it was.
Now, new research shows Pl ... more |

NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) spacecraft has discovered "layers" and "rifts" in the electrically charged part of the upper atmosphere (the ionosphere) of Mars. The phenomenon is very common at Earth and causes unpredictable disruptions to radio communications. However, we do not fully understand them because they form at altitudes that are very difficult to explore at Ear ... more |

 Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 05, 2020  Although plants don't sleep in the same way humans do, they have circadian rhythms - internal clocks that, like our own internal clocks, tell them when it's night and when it's day. And like many people, plants are less active at night.
When the Sun comes up, they kick into gear, absorbing sunlight to convert carbon dioxide they draw from the air and water they draw from the soil into food ... more |

It may not always seem so, but scientists are convinced that humans are unusually cooperative. Unlike other animals, we cooperate not just with kith and kin, but also with genetically unrelated strangers. Consider how often we rely on the good behavior of acquaintances and strangers - from the life-saving services of firefighters and nurses, to mundane activities like our morning commute and que ... more |

Bacteria in our environment can be difficult to study: They are tiny and often live under conditions hard to recreate in the lab, for example in the deep sea or as symbionts in an animal host (or both, as the symbiotic bacteria in the present study).
Investigations of the bacterial genome tell us what the microbes are theoretically capable of. What they actually do, however, is not reveale ... more |

 Tempe AZ (SPX) Jan 14, 2020 
If you jump out of bed too quickly, you might feel a bit light-headed.
That's because when you're lying down, gravity causes your blood to pool in the lower parts of your body rather than in your brain. Fortunately, when you stand up, within a fraction of a second, your heart begins beating faster, moving the blood to your brain and allowing you to maintain your balance.
The opposite ... more |
