Jupiter’s moon Ganymede has an ancient impact structure called a furrow system. This system is the largest impact structure in the outer Solar System, and the impact should have significantly affected Ganymede’s early history. Distribution of furrows and location of the center of the furrow system shown in the hemisphere that always faces away from
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured an amazing photo of the lens-shaped spiral galaxy IC 4709. IC 4709’s swirling disk filled with stars and dust bands is beautifully captured by Hubble, as is the faint halo surrounding it. The color image is made up of observations from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys
A team of researchers from Finland and Norway has identified two potential antivirulence compounds for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infections among bacterial metabolites harvested from strains of marine actinobacteria Kocuria and Rhodococcus from the Arctic Sea. The T091-5 strain of the genus Rhodococcus. Image credit: Pylkkö et al., doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1432475. “We show how advanced screening
Recent respiratory outbreaks have garnered substantial attention, yet most respiratory monitoring remains confined to physical signals. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) harbors rich molecular information that could unveil diverse insights into an individual’s health. Now, Caltech’s Professor Wei Gao and colleagues have developed the EBCare, a mask-based device for real-time monitoring of EBC biomarkers. For example
Archaeologists have discovered an ancient submerged stone bridge in Genovesa Cave on Mallorca, the main island of the Balearic Archipelago and the sixth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. The discovery suggests that humans settled the western Mediterranean much earlier than previously believed. The 5,600-year-old submerged stone bridge in Genovesa Cave, Mallorca, Spain.

Paleontologists have added another species to the Cretaceous-period dinosaur fauna of Europe, and this one was found in Normandy, France. An abelisaurid tooth associated with the holotype specimen of Caletodraco cottardi. Image credit: Buffetaut et al., doi: 10.3390/fossils2030009. Caletodraco cottardi lived in what is now France durign the Cenomanian age of the Early Cretaceous epoch
Gliese 229B was the first known brown dwarf, discovered in 1995. In new research, astronomers observed Gliese 229 B with the GRAVITY interferometer and, separately, the CRIRES+ spectrograph at ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Both sets of observations independently resolved Gliese 229B into two components, Gliese 229 Ba and Bb. They orbit each other every 12.1 days with a semimajor axis of
