A Quiet Region of Italy Is Hiding a Vast Reservoir of Magma : ScienceAlert
Scientists have discovered a vast reservoir of magma bubbling beneath the Tuscan soil that may not yet have erupted.
With no obvious volcano to mark the spot, the immensity of the system and its extreme heat had gone unmeasured until now.
The…

Scientists test a fundamental rule of gravity on cosmic scales — and it holds up
For more than 300 years, Isaac Newton’s simple rule about gravity has held up: the farther apart two objects are, the weaker their pull on each other. It works for apples. It works for planets.
Now, scientists have put that same rule…
