Earth-like Planets May Be Easier To Find Than Previously Thought: Young Planets...
Hot, young planets may be easier to spot because they stay that way longer than astronomers have thought. A new study shows that newborn Earth-like planets could be easier to find than previously thought.

Origin of Alps-size Antarctic mountain range unknown ...
A U.S.-led, multinational team of scientists this month will investigate one of the Earth's last major unexplored places, using sophisticated airborne radar and ground-based seismologic tools to virtually peel away more than 2.5 miles of ice covering an Antarctic mountain range that rivals the Alps in elevation.

EPA's stormwater program needs a significant overhaul ...
( National Academy of Sciences ) Radical changes to the US Environmental Protection Agency's stormwater program are necessary to reverse degradation of fresh water resources and ensure progress toward the Clean Water Act's goal of "fishable and swimmable" waters, says a new report from the National Research Council. Increased water volume and pollutants from stormwater have degraded water ...

China needs sharper eyes in space ...
If China wants to become a dominant space power, it must step up and take a leading role in providing new Earth observation satellite (EOSAT) technology. However, the field is crowded and becoming more so, making this a far more difficult task than previously thought.

Origin, Adaptive Radiation, And Diversification Of The Hawaiian Lobeliads ...
Based on the extent of their morphological divergence, the Hawaiian lobeliads were long thought to represent up to five colonizations of the most isolated archipelago on Earth. We present a molecular phylogeny showing that they are instead the product of one colonization event and are the largest plant lineage on any single oceanic island or archipelago.

New images yield clues to seasons of Uranus ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- With an 84-year orbit around the sun, it isn't often that planetary scientists have an opportunity to observe the change of seasons on Uranus, a planet some 19 times farther from the sun than the Earth.

New Robotic Repair System Will Fix Ailing Satellites ...
Researchers are developing a new robotic system to service more than 8,000 satellites now orbiting the Earth, beyond the flight range of ground-based repair operations. Currently, when the high-flying celestial objects malfunction -- or simply run out of fuel -- they become "space junk" cluttering the cosmos.

Unique Fossils Capture ?Cambrian Migration? ...
A unique set of fossils indicates that 525 million years ago marine animals congregated in Earth's ancient oceans, most likely for migration, according to an international team of scientists. Fossil evidence of collective behavior is extremely rare. But what makes the find even more intriguing is that it indicates that such behavior was occurring at the beginning of the 'Cambrian explosion' -- a ...
