An asteroid impact may have caused one mass extinction in the past, but this article argues that relatively sudden releases of hydrogen sulfide gas from the world's oceans may have caused others. H2S is thought to be released as a consequence of high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. Guess what's happening now? picked by Fanatic 2 years ago

Previous estimates had ranged from 750 billion solar masses to up to 2 trillion. Lately, researchers have been leaning toward the higher figure. But now astronomers have used a more refined method to conclude that our galaxy's mass is slightly less than 1 trillion solar masses. picked by AutumnLotus 2 months ago

A strange Neptune-sized planet has just been discovered, with ridiculously hot surface temperatures of 520 degrees Kelvin (that's 246.85 degrees C, or 476.33 degrees F). Due to its incredibly-high mass, the water stays in a frozen state. So-called "hot ice" doesn't occur naturally on Earth, but has previously been created in a laboratory. picked by suebe 1 year ago
