Among the many functions performed by skeletal muscles, an important one is maintaining our posture. If it weren't for these muscles, Earth's gravitational pull may make it difficult for us to stand and walk around. The group of muscles-mostly present in our limbs, back, and neck-which are responsible for maintaining our posture and allowing us to move against the force of gravity are rightly ca

In June and July 2022, heatwaves struck Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, as temperatures climbed above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in places and broke many long-standing records. The map above shows the surface air temperatures across most of the Eastern Hemisphere on July 13, 2022. It was produced by combining observations with a version of the Goddard Eart

Every spring, migratory birds arrive in the continental United States from south and central America to breed. But precisely when they arrive each spring varies from year to year. In a NASA-led study published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, scientists have linked this variability to large-scale climate patterns originating thousands of miles away. Migratory birds b

New method to map the surface of the moon increases accuracy to unprecedented levels
It is obvious from the picture that the surface of the Moon is anything but even. The changes in the topography reveal themselves in the shadows and light. But it is not immediately possible to see how much it changes. How deep are the craters, and how does it look if we need to go into even more detail? Credit: NASA/JPL.
