NASA Discovers Potential Source of Cosmic Space Radiation
NASA has discovered the potential source of cosmic space radiation detected on Earth. Scientists who spotted a rare cosmic particle observed by NASA’s Advanced Composition Explorer, or ACE, believe that the cosmic radiation must have come from a supernova explosion that occurred a couple million years ago, according to Pulse Headlines. The team of scientists who made the discovery, led by Martin Israel and Robert Binns of Washington University, including scientists from Caltech, published thei..>> view originalHow Does a Company Prove It Is Really Climate Compliant?

Many craters on Pluto have bright halo effects in the western side of the planet, according to the latest shared images by NASA’s New Horizons team. New Horizons has spotted many unique craters with a halo effect in the Vega Terra region on Pluto. The craters with bright halo effect are quite big in size, some of them even 30 miles across, according to NASA report. NASA team said that the bright hued craters seemed like spread across the dark region on Pluto.

More than 150 years after Charles Darwin proposed his theory of evolution by natural selection, the birds that helped shape his thinking are still actively evolving. And scientists have the genes to prove it.A team of researchers has identified a gene involved in shaping the beaks of Darwin's finches – small, seed-eating songbirds in the Galápagos islands, according to a paper published Thursday in the journal Science. The gene, HMGA2, is still actively molding the famous finches today. Darwin'..>> view originalAstronaut Completes London Marathon From The International Space Station

The Kepler space telescope is back on its job of the K2 mission, which is to lookout for exoplanets, the planets beyond our solar system. By 8.30am PDT today, the spacecraft was performing the tasks allocated to it and the team informed that everything was working perfect with Kepler space telescope. Late Tuesday, the team started the process of returning the spacecraft to science. The recovering process involved a number of steps that were taken during the next two days.

The combination of threats are contributing to a dramatic decline in monarch butterfly population Monarch butterflies may be facing more threats than initially thought. Many previous studies have associated the decline of monarch butterfly population with the lack of milkweed, which is the primary food source for monarch larvae, excessive use of pesticides and genetically modified crops. But a new research suggests that problem is not limited to just those few threats.Researchers from Cornell ..>> view originalThe Amazon River is home to uncharacteristic, vibrant coral reef life
c/o Lance Willis A team of scientists has found a large, vibrant system of coral reefs near the mouth of the Amazon River. This proved to be something unexpected, given how murky the river is. The reef ecosystem extends about 3,700 miles, and researchers found this interesting because coral is not expected to grow in that area. Coral reefs typically are found in clear, tropical waters, but the sediment-rich nature of the Amazon River normally makes it hard for coral to grow in those areas. Not m..>> view original
