Scientific expeditions require months of planning before scientists can acquire the first data. A bark cuts through the Arctic silence, waking Anna up. She slept only three hours after collecting the last sample. Anna reaches for her rifle, exits the tent, and steps onto the midnight ice. She pets the guard dog she rented a…

Archaeologists in Australia have discovered centuries-old Indigenous rock art depicting Tasmanian devils and the now-extinct Tasmanian tiger, a new study reports. The findings suggest that the Tasmanian tiger may have survived on the Australian mainland until much more recently than previously thought. The team documented around 14 new rock-art drawings of the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus),…

As the month of March comes to a close, many movies will be departing Netflix for the foreseeable future. When they return, your guess is as good as mine. Every genre will lose movies, including thrillers. One of the movies on this list leaves on April 3, which we’ll note in its entry below. The…
Nasa is preparing for the historic launch of its first lunar fly-around mission in more than 50 years. Training for the Artemis II mission began soon after the crew was named in 2023, according to the mission’s chief training officer Jacki Mahaffey. Much of training takes place in the Orion mission simulator at Johnson Space…
For tens of millions of years, squid and cuttlefish barely changed. Then, almost suddenly, they exploded into the diverse, fast-moving, shape-shifting creatures we know today. A new genomic study in Nature Ecology & Evolution maps that turning point, using DNA from nearly all major squid and cuttlefish lineages to build the most complete evolutionary tree…
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA began the countdown Monday for humanity’s first launch to the moon in 53 years. The 32-story Space Launch System rocket is poised to blast off Wednesday evening with four astronauts. After a day in orbit around Earth, their Orion capsule will propel them to the moon and back. There…
By probing supercooled water with ultrafast lasers before it crystallizes, physicists at Stockholm University observed telltale signs of a long-theorized transition between two liquid states, including surging heat capacity and critical fluctuations. You et al. studied supercooled water at timescales before ice formation by heating high- and low-density amorphous ices using infrared ultrafast laser pulses,…
