A rare meteorite found in the Sahara may be a surviving shard of a lost Moon-sized world — one that formed beside the young Sun, followed a path unlike Earth or Mars, and was smashed apart while the planets were still being built. - Space Daily
A rock about the size of a fist, found lying in the Sahara, may be a surviving shard of a lost world nearly as large as the Moon. According to a new study, it formed beside the young Sun out of ingredients different from those that built Earth and Mars, and i…
Fossil jaws hidden inside Cretaceous rocks have revealed that 100 million years ago, some octopuses grew into giant predators — possibly longer than a bus and more fearsome than any octopus alive today. - Space Daily
Octopuses are among the worst animals to leave behind as fossils. Their bodies are mostly soft tissue. They have no backbone, no shell like an ammonite, and no heavy skeleton that can survive for tens of millions of years. That is why a few fossil jaws can ch…
Graphene Caught Holding Multiple Superconducting States At One Time - ScienceAlert
Superconductivity, the ability for materials to conduct electricity with zero resistance, is a valuable scientific treasure.
In November, a spacecraft that has spent eight years falling toward the Sun will finally settle into orbit around Mercury, a planet we have seen up close fewer times than almost any other in the solar system. - Space Daily
In November, a spacecraft called BepiColombo, after nearly eight years looping through the inner solar system, will finally let Mercury capture it into orbit. It is a quiet milestone for one of the least-visited planets we have. Only two missions have ever go…
