A hidden danger lurks beneath Yellowstone

admin

Mount Ontake in Japan rises 3,067 meters above sea level — a windswept giant standing head and shoulders above densely forested hills. This ancient volcano is a popular trekking site. A trail traverses its ash- and boulder-strewn ridges. There are several huts and a shrine. On September 27, 2014, hikers took advantage of a blue sky and gentle wind. At 11:52 a.m., over a hundred of them stood on the summit, eating snacks and taking photos. Disaster struck with little

No phones. No TV. No books. No booze. And definitely no talking. A very chatty ELEANOR MILLS reveals… How seven days of silence banished the insecurities I hid beneath a busy life

The gong chimes. The silent retreat begins. Earlier today I handed over my mobile phone to the teacher for safe-keeping. That deep bong means I’m in, we’re off — no speaking or interaction with the outside world for a week.

Around me, my 28 fellow retreatants (a mixture of ages, 26 women, two men) look a bit scared. 

Truth is, I feel pretty trepidatious myself, not to mention knackered. It is 8.30pm and my head is spinning from travelling to

Artemis was the twin sister of Apollo and goddess of the moon in Greek mythology. 

NASA has chosen her to personify its path back to the moon, which will see astronauts return to the lunar surface by 2025 –  including the first woman and the next man.

Artemis 1, formerly Exploration Mission-1, is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will enable human exploration to the moon and Mars. 

Artemis 1 will be the first integrated flight

A fantastical world of potential giant viruses lurks beneath the soil

admin

Giant viruses may try out all sorts of funky lewks.

New images reveal the varied — and sometimes whimsical — shapes of hundreds of potential soil-dwelling giant viruses. One shape is dubbed “haircut” for its fibers that bristle like freshly buzzed hair. “Gorgon” has tubelike appendages snaking from its shell. And flaps poking out of “turtle” resemble the reptile’s head, limbs and tail, virologist Matthias Fischer and colleagues report June 30 at bioRxiv.org.

These and other peculiar-looking shapes “clearly tell … Read more

A zombie apocalypse is poised to strike humanity. It won’t bring legions of the undead staggering through city streets hungry for brains, but it could be just as deadly. The threat comes from so-called “zombie” viruses and bacteria, frozen for tens of thousands of years, that are coming back to life as global warming melts permafrost in the Arctic regions of Siberia, Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia.

Granite likely lurks beneath the moon’s surface

admin

Watch out Yosemite — the moon has its own impressive rock display.

An enormous chunk of granite, measuring roughly 50 kilometers wide, may be buried beneath the lunar surface, researchers reported July 5 in Nature. Finding such a behemoth, by far the largest granite structure spotted beyond Earth, is a surprise given that forming this type of rock typically requires plate tectonics or abundant water.

When Apollo astronauts landed on the moon in the 1960s and 1970s, they encountered
