Polling has consistently found that most people would prefer NASA spend money on things like monitoring climate change and averting asteroid collisions rather than human spaceflight.

Certain smaller sauropods could stand on their hind legs with surprising ease, giving them access to higher food and a defensive edge. Computer simulations show their bones handled stress better than those of their larger relatives. However, as they grew, the sheer weight made this posture much harder to sustain. What started as a useful trick in youth became a more limited, strategic move in adulthood.

A long-term project to remove or modify dams may clear the way for endangered wild Atlantic salmon to swim freely up to the Sandy River. But it faces opposition from business and lawmakers.

Astronomers have spotted a bizarre cosmic explosion that refuses to play by the rules—and it’s leaving scientists scrambling for answers.

Her best-selling 1989 book, “The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Washing,” based on her groundbreaking research, brought public awareness to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This could explain why some galaxies near early quasars appear faint or missing. The finding suggests galaxies grow and evolve together, not in isolation.

The four astronauts — three Americans and one Canadian — spoke from a prelaunch quarantine ahead of their scheduled Wednesday mission.

A network of meltwater lakes and drainage channels made an Antarctic ice shelf known for its blue ice areas even bluer.
