Floods and other extreme weather events are happening more often because of climate change.

The NASA-led investigation intends to inspire Native American youth to pursue STEM careers, while also preserving heirloom varieties.

Researchers unearthed the skull of a previously unknown starling-sized bird species named Navaornis hestiae that was so well preserved they were able to digitally reconstruct its brain and inner ear anatomy based on the shape of the braincase. It inhabited an arid environment about 80 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period, the last chapter in the age of dinosaurs. "This finding is one-of-a-kind," said University of Cambridge paleontologist Guillermo Navalón, co-lead author of the study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.

The recent boom seems a little more complicated.

Aerospace and defense company Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) reported Q3 CY2024 results exceeding the market’s revenue expectations, with sales up 54.9% year on year to $104.8 million. On top of that, next quarter’s revenue guidance ($130 million at the midpoint) was surprisingly good and 6.4% above what analysts were expecting. Its GAAP loss of $0.10 per share was also 6.4% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

On November 12, 2014, a European spacecraft named Philae tried to land on Comet 67P. To say it was a bumpy landing would be an understatement. Philae separated from an orbiter called Rosetta. It was supposed to use harpoons to secure itself on to the comet surface, but the harpoons never fired. When it touched down, it immediately bounced back up into space. The first bounce brought Philae half a mile above the comet's surface before gravity brought it back down. Philae drifted and bounced around the comet for two hours before Rosetta's cameras lost track of it. Scientists figured it was stuck in a shady spot where sunlight couldn't reach its solar panels. The batteries did last for more than two days on the surface, so Philae still got some science done. Most notably, it found organic molecules that had never been detected on a comet before. Philae was missing for almost two years before scientists found it. Images from Rosetta showed it stuck in a dark crevice on top of the rubber duck-shaped comet.

But is it cause or effect?

If you’ve ever followed a navigation app only to have it drift off course, the culprit responsible for the mix-up may be hovering 50-200 miles overhead. That region of the Earth’s atmosphere called the ionosphere can contain varying levels of free electrons that, when highly concentrated, can slow down GPS signals traveling between satellites and […]

Firefly Aerospace has raised a massive late-stage funding round ahead as it prepares for the launch of its lunar lander later this year and the first mission of its Elytra spacecraft next year. The $175 million Series D, which set Firefly’s valuation at over $2 billion, apparently closed in less than two months in a show of faith in the company’s new CEO — aerospace executive Jason Kim, who was installed in the position on October 1. Kim had previously led Boeing’s satellite maker Millennium Space Systems.

State aerospace leaders have outlined major upgrades around Cape Canaveral as they look to build on this year’s record number of launches, which were boosted Monday by the liftoff of two Falcon 9 rockets.

Scientists say they have found the world's largest coral near the Pacific's Solomon Islands, announcing Thursday a major discovery "pulsing with life and colour". "Just when we think there is nothing left to discover on planet earth, we find a massive coral made of nearly one billion little polyps, pulsing with life and colour," marine ecologist Enric Sala said.
