Dinosaurs, like modern animals, dealt with septic arthritis
Septic arthritis, as it seems, is an age-old affliction that doesn’t just cause great pain to humans and some present-day animals. In fact, it had existed at least 70 million years ago, and caused a certain type of dinosaur to feel such pain. A new study published earlier in the week details how a dinosaur found in what is now the southern part of New Jersey suffered from septic arthritis, which is a condition that can also be found in humans, crocodiles, and some birds. This makes it the fir..>> view originalNew Form Of Light Could Makes Study Of Quantum Phenomena Easier
In a development that could greatly help the study of quantum phenomena, scientists have created a theoretical model for a new form of light that combines the properties of photons and electrons. If turned into reality, the new light form could also be used to make electrical circuits which at present use electrons for conduction.Scientists from Imperial College London published a study in the journal Nature Communications on Friday that shows “it is possible to create a new form of light by bin..>> view originalThe Mystery Of Why Sunflowers Turn To Follow The Sun — Solved

Between Wednesday and Thursday this week, astronomers at NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) noticed something special - a comet in close proximity to the sun.And then it was gone.Astronomers watched the comet plunged towards the sun, where it was rapidly devoured by solar forces. Comet suicides aren’t necessarily the result of a direct impact with the sun, but typically occur when a comet passes too close to the sun to withstand the sun's gravitational forces and heat, and disint..>> view originalThaw could release Cold War-era U.S. toxic waste buried under Greenland's ice
OSLO (Reuters) - Global warming could release radioactive waste stored in an abandoned Cold War-era U.S. military camp deep under Greenland's ice caps if a thaw continues to spread in coming decades, scientists said on Friday. Camp Century was built in northwest Greenland in 1959 as part of U.S. research into the feasibility of nuclear missile launch sites in the Arctic, the University of Zurich said in a statement. Staff left gallons of fuel and an unknown amount of low-le..>> view originalApollo 11 lunar sample bag lands at center of lawsuits
August 6, 2016 — A small white bag that was once used by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong to hold the first-ever lunar samples to be collected from the surface of the moon is now at the center of not one, but two lawsuits over who owns it today. The zippered cloth pouch, which was labeled in bold black letters "Lunar Sample Return," was used on July 20, 1969 as the "outer decontamination bag" to hold the moon rocks for their trip back to Earth with Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

The Perseid meteor shower is already underway. The Perseids are bits of dust from Comet Swift-Tuttle that burn up in Earth's atmosphere. The shower gets its name from the constellation Perseus. Meteor experts are predicting the Perseids will produce a larger than normal number of meteors this year. There have been some over-the-top reports recently about the strength of this meteor shower. Predictions range from 120 to as high as 200 meteors per hour. Well, that sounds pretty good: At the maxi..>> view original
