236-Million-Year-Old Fossil Challenges the Story of Mammalian Live Birth

Posted on by Dave

A 236-million-year-old fossil from Argentina is giving scientists a surprising new look at one of the most important developments in mammalian evolution: live birth. Researchers studying the fossil of Chiniquodon theotonicus, a distant mammalian relative that lived during the Triassic Period, have found evidence suggesting that this animal may have given birth to live young rather than laying eggs. If confirmed by additional fossils, the discovery could push the origin of live birth in the mammalian lineage back by as...Click for full post

NASA Extends Voyager 2 Mission With ‘Big Bang’ Power Fix

Posted on by Dave

Nearly five decades after launching from Earth, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft is still exploring interstellar space — and engineers have found another clever way to keep the aging probe alive. NASA engineers have successfully implemented a major power-saving maneuver nicknamed the “Big Bang” on Voyager 2. The carefully planned operation is expected to allow the spacecraft’s remaining science instruments to continue operating for at least another year. The achievement is another remarkable example of engineers extending the life of a...Click for full post
