Scientists Say: Heat Dome

Coverage: 2 sources

Heat dome (noun, “HEET DOHM”) A heat dome occurs when hot weather stalls over an area for days or weeks at a time. It forms when warm air at Earth’s surface gets trapped and cannot rise. Heat domes can cause periods of unusually hot weather called heat waves. In the atmosphere, warm air typically rises and cool air sinks. Air near Earth’s surface heats up, causing it to rise. As warmed air rises, it begins to cool and sink down again. This hot-c…See the Story

The first picture of a visible aurora on Mars, taken by Perseverance

On some Martian nights, a subtle, green glow hangs low in the sky. It glimmers just above the horizon in every direction. Now, for the first time, a Mars rover has observed one of these auroras. NASA’s Perseverance rover witnessed the light show on March 18, 2024. It was the first aurora seen from the surface of a planet other than Earth. And it hints that future astronauts may observe ethereal Martian auroras with their own eyes. “It would be a…Read Article

A genetic trick leaves these stinky plants reeking of rotting flesh

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Not all plants attract pollinators by smelling sweet. Some stink like rotting meat or even dung. Those odors can attract flies that will pollinate them. This stench comes from bacteria feasting on rotting corpses. How plants make such a foul smell has been a mystery — until now. Scientists in Japan looked at DNA in three unrelated groups of stinky plants. All had all evolved the same trick to produce this reeking scent. It involved tweaking one …See the Story

Analyze This: Moving Frogs to New Places Helped an Endangered Species Spread

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

A deadly fungus has been wiping out amphibians around the globe. But some frogs that have developed resistance to the disease are helping their species bounce back. Mountain yellow-legged frogs used to live in lakes all over California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. Their numbers started dropping in the past century when people brought into their habitat fish that eat frogs and tadpoles. Then in the 1970s, the deadly chytrid (KIH-trid) fungus arrive…Species · Mammoth Lakes See the Story

Can a supervillain destroy the sun?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

The sun’s light and warmth make life possible on Earth. But these same qualities also make the sun a tempting target for fictional supervillains. If an evildoer could control the sun, they could control the Earth — and even the whole solar system! But could it be done? Let’s learn about the sun Well, attempting to destroy the sun would be a huge undertaking. Our sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star. That name is a little misleading. “Dwa…See the Story

With grief bots, this researcher studies risks of digitally cloning the dead

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Consider this hypothetical scenario: 8-year-old Sam is texting with his mom, Anna. Anna apologizes for missing his concert last week. But Anna isn’t away on a trip. In fact, she isn’t even alive. The response was from a grief bot driven by artificial intelligence. Sam’s parents uploaded Anna’s texts, videos and audio clips to the app. The service then used these to create a digital clone. Sam’s parents hoped the bot could help him grieve once …England · England Read Article

The rear end of this ancient wasp was built like a Venus flytrap

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

One ancient type of wasp appears to have had an especially freaky way to trap prey 99 million years ago. It used a mouth-like structure on its backside, fossils now suggest. “When you look at the head, the thorax and the wings, [this wasp] looks quite normal,” says Lars Vilhelmsen. But its abdomen is very different, the insect biologist points out. Most stinging wasps, such as yellow jackets, have rounded abdomens that end in a point.
