Planned launch of 500,000 satellites may destroy Hubble’s mission
Simulations suggest that satellite streaks could spoil about one in three Hubble images, even when the telescope stays above Earth’s weather.
A team of researchers modeled plans that could put about 560,000 satellites aloft by the 2030s.

Samples
Fetuses were obtained after voluntary terminations of pregnancy, which were performed either via medical or surgical procedures. The termination methods used did not compromise the integrity or morphology of the fetuses analysed in this…

NASA Study Suggests Saturn’s Moon Titan May Not Have Global Ocean
A key discovery from NASA’s Cassini mission in 2008 was that Saturn’s largest moon Titan may have a vast water ocean below its hydrocarbon-rich surface. But reanalysis of mission data suggests a more complicated picture: Titan’s interior…

Colliding galaxies create the brightest, fastest growing black holes at their centre
New data confirm that the titanic collisions of galaxies ignite the most powerful active galactic nuclei.
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are phases in which supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies actively feed on matter…

NASA Study Suggests Saturn’s Moon Titan May Not Have Global Ocean
To remotely probe planets, moons, and asteroids, scientists study the radio frequency communications traveling back and forth between spacecraft and NASA’s Deep Space Network. It’s a multilayered process. Because a moon’s body may not have…

From prey to predator: how carnivores spread beneficial fungi
Animals help disperse seeds and spores for many plant and fungal species. This typically happens when animals eat the fruiting bodies of plants and fungi and pass seeds and spores through their digestive systems.
Mycorrhizal…
