Climate warming endangers Antarctic meteorite collection
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 09, 2024
Using artificial intelligence, satellite observations, and climate model projections, a team of researchers from Switzerland and Belgium calculate that for every tenth of a degree of increase in global air temperature, an average of nearly 9,000 meteorites disappear from the surface of the ice sheet. This loss has major implications, as meteorites are unique samples of extraterrestrial bodies th

Moon's early volcanic activity reshaped by internal movements
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 09, 2024
Approximately 4.5 billion years ago, a collision between a small planet and the young Earth dispersed molten debris into space, which eventually coalesced to form the moon. This widely accepted theory of lunar formation provides a backdrop to recent discoveries by the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, as detailed in a new study in Nature Geoscience. The research underscores s

The Latest: Dallas students elated by eclipse
A total solar eclipse has begun. Totality will last up to 4 minutes, 28 seconds in certain spots.
The eclipse is crossing North America, darkening skies along a path through Mexico, the United States and Canada.
Here's the latest:
DALLAS STUDENTS ELATED BY ECLIPSE
DALLAS—Emergency lights clicked on outside D.A. Hulcy Middle School as the last sliver of the sun disappeared. Students cheered and whooped, sitting on towels and picnic blankets in an adjacent parking lot.
"I'm a new person," eighth grader Nia Modkins said.
Students and teachers took off their eclipse glasses and pointed at the sky, taking pictures and videos. Once three minutes elapsed, their teachers told them to put their eclipse glasses back on as the sun prepared for its return act.
