A farming advisor to Reform UK – which would expand oil and gas drilling and scrap net zero targets – has spoken of the “soul-destroying” impact of extreme weather on his own crops. As the UK faces its fifth heatwave in four months, farmers have been left reeling from theContinue Reading
Scientists are searching some of Earth’s oldest rocks for tiny fossils that could reveal how simple microbial life made the extraordinary leap toward plants, animals, and other complex organisms. Solving that ancient mystery may also help determine whether complex life could emerge on worlds beyond Earth., Read MoreContinue Reading

The Starling swarm’s extended mission tested GPS-independent navigation, using onboard star tracking for self-orbit determination and space object catalog updates. Credit: NASA/Daniel Rutter NASA’s Starling mission has marked another milestone in spacecraft autonomy by using a new system that determines a satellite’s position in orbit by referencing other objects in space, instead of relying on a navigational network. The FALCON (Fast Autonomous Lost-in-space Catalog-based OpticalContinue Reading
