Organic Carbon on Mars Found in Two Rocks 100 Metres Apart by Perseverance
NASA's Perseverance rover has confirmed complex organic carbon in two geologically distinct mudstone outcrops inside Jezero Crater, 100 metres apart — a discovery that rules out a one-off anomaly and intensifies scientific debate over whether Mars once harboured life.
Fossil Teeth Dated to 2.8 Million Years Ago May Rewrite Human Origins
Three fossilized teeth no larger than a fingernail have been identified as belonging to the genus Homo and dated to as far back as 2.8 million years ago — placing them among the oldest physical evidence ever recovered for humanity's direct evolutionary branch and forcing a fundamental rethink of when the human lineage first emerged.
Miami Is America’s Most Termite-Infested City for the 4th Year Running
Miami has claimed the top spot on Orkin's annual termite cities ranking for four consecutive years, driven by invasive Formosan and Asian subterranean termites that form overlapping colonies beneath block after city block. Florida also places Tampa third, making the state home to two of the three most termite-threatened metros in the U.S.
Charon’s Red Polar Cap Is Built From Pluto’s Own Escaping Atmosphere
Pluto's largest moon Charon sports a reddish-brown polar cap that no scientist predicted — built layer by layer from methane escaping Pluto's own atmosphere, frozen in polar cold traps and transformed into complex organic tholins by radiation.
Swift Telescope Is Falling From Orbit — A $30M Robot Is Racing to Catch It
NASA's 21-year-old Swift gamma-ray telescope is slowly falling from low-Earth orbit, accelerated by solar storms it cannot counteract. On July 3, 2026, a $30 million robotic spacecraft called Katalyst LINK launched on an unprecedented mission to catch and reboost it before an uncontrolled reentry scatters debris over unpredictable terrain.
Fossil Fuel Lobbying Buys Access, Not Votes — Here’s What Research Proves
Studies consistently correlate fossil fuel industry lobbying with anti-climate voting, but researchers draw a careful line between documented patterns and direct causation — and the 'dark money' gap means disclosed figures almost certainly undercount total influence.Load More
