![]() Like what you’ve read? Oh, but there’s more. A California court has ruled that bees can legally be considered fish under specific circumstances, especially to protect them. Seuss riddle, even if it sounds like one. Explore some of the treasures in the Arabian desert that tell the story of the Emirati people’s connection to both land and sea. Don’t worry: The observatory is still preparing to share its first hi-res color images on July 12. – The James Webb Space Telescope’s giant golden mirror was dinged by a micrometeoroid. And if you’re eager for more dinos, “Jurassic World: Dominion” was released this week. Thanks to a number of fossils recovered from the island, the Isle of Wight is known as the UK’s dinosaur capital. But scientists need more information to make the determination. It’s possible that the bones, from an animal that lived 125 million years ago, belonged to a newly discovered species instead. ![]() The spinosaurid, a two-legged dinosaur with the face of a crocodile, was larger than a double-decker bus. Anthony Hutchings/University of SouthamptonĪncient bones newly unearthed on the Isle of Wight once belonged to one of Europe’s largest predators. This illustration depicts the fearsome Isle of Wight spinosaurid as it may have appeared in life. Meanwhile, NASA’s DAVINCI spacecraft will face the opposite conditions when it orbits and then attempts to land on the hellish surface of Venus in 2031, descending through immense pressure and scorching temperatures to capture never-before-seen images of the planet. Reports are that the Perseverance rover has adopted a pet rock in the meantime ( and we’re not joking). But the copter’s team has a plan that could help Ingenuity survive and continue flying high on Mars. The little chopper now faces frigid nights without its heater and has less solar power due to a lack of sunlight. The arrival of cyclical dust storms caused the NASA team to lose contact with Ingenuity for two days in May. The Ingenuity helicopter is battling a hazy shade of winter on Mars. Recent evidence suggests there are more like her on the island – but any future expeditions, and the tortoises themselves, face formidable volcanic challenges. Her discovery shocked scientists because they thought Fernandina tortoises were extinct, especially given the island’s very active volcano.Ī new genetic study revealed Fernanda is indeed a native species of her island, especially when compared with the DNA of a male tortoise specimen collected from the island in 1906.Īnd Fernanda may not be the last of her kind. The lone small female tortoise was found living on Fernandina Island in the Galapagos archipelago in 2019. She’s kind of a big deal in the Galapagos Islands, and we don’t blame you if you sing a version of ABBA’s “Fernando” in her honor. ![]() Having humanlike hands could one day enable robots to help us with a surprising range of tasks.įernanda now lives at the Fausto Llerena Giant Tortoise Breeding Center on the island of Santa Cruz in Ecuador's Galapagos National Park. The researchers are interested in adding a vascular system that could help the skin sustain itself, grow nails and even sweat. The humanlike skin was even able to repel water. The same cells that serve as the building blocks for human skin were used in the trials. This advancement is one step closer to giving robots the look and touch of living creatures, according to the researchers. ![]() There is only one other fast radio burst known to do this, which has astronomers questioning if there is more than one kind of these unexplained phenomena.įor the first time ever, scientists have learned how to grow humanlike skin on a robotic finger. The celestial object constantly released weaker radio waves between the repeating bursts. Now, a pulsing burst of radio waves has been detected in a galaxy about 3 billion light-years away – and it’s even weirder than the others. ![]() Mysterious fast radio bursts have long intrigued astronomers because they don’t understand what causes the bright, millisecond-long flashes in space. An artist's illustration shows a neutron star with an ultrastrong magnetic field, called a magnetar, releasing radio waves (red). ![]()
