Researchers Have Discovered The World’s Largest, ~2cm Long, Bacterium In The Caribbean Mangroves. The Bacterium, Said To Have Pushed The Limit Of How Big And Sophisticated Microbes Can Become, Is Also Said Could Be The Missing Link In The Evolution Of Complex Cells. Researchers Are Proposing To Call The Bacterium Thiomargarita Magnifica.

Cancer Researchers, In The Netherlands, May Have Discovered A New Organ In The Nook, Where The Nasal Cavity Meets The Throat. The Organ, A Pair Of Large Salivary Glands, If Confirmed, Will Be The First Organ Discovered In Over 300 Years. Any Modern Anatomy Book Will Point To 3 Major Salivary Glands, But This New Organ May Make It The Fourth. Cool!

Scientists May Have Found A Material, In A Dinosaur Fossil, Which They Claim Looks Like The DNA Of A 74 Million To 80 Million Years Old Dinosaur, Hypacrosaurus, From North America. However, Skeptics May Not Believe It’s Dinousar’s DNA As DNA Cannot Survive For That Long. But If It Is Dinosaur DNA, Then Scientists May Clone Dinosaurs.

28 New Viruses, For The Past 15,000 Years, Were Hosted In The Tibetan Glacier. These Discovered Viruses, From Two Ice Cores, Could Inform Researchers On What Viruses Thrived Under Different Climates And Environments Over Time. However, The Discovery Is Troubling Because These Viruses Could Escape Into The Environment Via Global Warming.

Damn, Another Missed Asteroid, 2019 MO, Smashes Over The Caribbean. The Thought Of Agencies Like NASA Or European Space Agency (ESA) Missing Some Near-Earth Objects Is Scary. And This’s Why I’m So Glad That Bodies Like NASA Continue To Fund Institutions To Keep A Closer Eye On The Sky To Warn/Avoid Situations Like This.

With Dangerous Undetected Asteroids, Like “2019 Ok,” Coming Close To Earth, It’s A Breath Of Relief That NASA Continues To Award Funds, Like $19M, To Observatories Like The Iconic Arecibo Observatory, In Puerto Rico, To Watch Out For Near-Earth Objects, Especially Asteroids Within 5 Million Miles (8 million km) Of Earth’s Orbit.

The New Indication That A 9-By-12 Mile Meteor Impacted Mars, ~3 Bya, Giving Rise To A Thousand-Foot Tsunami, Which Created The Strange Landforms On Mars, Supports The Theory That Mars Did Have Surface Ocean. The Meteor Is Said To Have Formed The 75-Mile-Wide Lomonosov Crater In The Martian Northern Lowlands.

Scientists may have…

An Asteroid, Dubbed “2019 Ok,” ~426 Feet Long, And Traveling At A Speed Of 55,000 MPH Came Closer To Earth (~45, 000 Miles Away) Than Our Moon, On July 25th, 2019. And Guess What? No Body Caught It! This A Big Deal Because The Asteroid Could Have Wiped-Out A Whole City If It Had Impacted Earth. Makes You Wonder About Our Space Surveillance System? Phew!

The European Mars Express, Based On The First Geologic Evidence, May Have Identified Mars, 3-4Bya, As A Watery World, With Ancient Ocean Connected To Systems Of Underground Lakes That Spread Across The Entire Planet. The Evidence, Identified In The Northern Hemisphere, Includes Fan Shaped Sediment Deposits, And Crater Walls Channels Etc.

NASA Has Ended The Opportunity Rover Mission After It Failed To Respond Since June 2018, After A Severe Dust Storm. The Rover, Which Was Meant To Travel Less Than A Mile And Last 90 Martian days, Lasted For 15 Years, Making It The Longest Lasting Rover On Mars. It Sent Over 217,000 Images, And Discovered Signs Of Water On Mars.

The Little Ice Age, A Marked Cooling Period Btw 1500s-1600s, Is Now Speculated To Have Been Caused By Genocide Committed By The Migrating Europeans On The Native Americans. The Genocide Meant That More Farmlands Remained Uncultivated, Which Later Become Forested. The Forest Then Sucked Out The CO2 From Air, Resulting In Cooling. Wow!

A New Study, Though Contentious, Is Indicating That The Missing Link Between Early Humans And Ape-like Ancestors May Have Been Discovered In 2008 In A Cavern In Malapa, South Africa . The 2 Million-Year-Old Fossil, Australopithecus Sediba, Is Said To Bridge The Gap Between Ape-like Australopithecus Africanus And Homo Habilis.

Using The Moon As A Proxy, Scientists Are Speculating A 2.6 Times Increase In The Rate Of Asteroid Impact On Earth Since The End of The Paleozoic (About 290 MYA). They Speculate That We Don’t See The Signs Of The Asteroid Impact on Earth Due To Erosion, Geologic Processes, And Probably Atmospheric Burn.

For The First Time, Humans Can Hear How Wind Sounds On The Red Planet, Mars . And This’s Thanks To NASA’s Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy And Heat Transport Lander, InSight. InSight Is NASA’s Most Recent, Occupancy Period Of 10 Days, Rover On Mars Sent To Drill And Measure Marsquake.

Scientists From Harvard And Yale Are Proposing The use Of Aerosol To Reduce Global Warming Rate In Half. They Propose To Spray Aerosol At A Height Of 12 Miles In The Stratosphere To Dim The Sun. But This Could Hinder Crop Yield And Peharps Lead To Drought And Extreme Weather. Pretty Ambitious And Risky!

The Timing For This Could Not Be Better As Global Warming Is Projected To Catastrophically Affect The World. Scientists May Have Developed One Of The Cheapest And Most Scalable Method Of Trapping Carbon Dioxide Through Magnesite. Magnesite, Which Usually Takes 100s To 1000s Of Years To Form In Nature, Can Now Be Produced In 72 Days. Cool!

The Earth Is Just 1C From Reaching The Threshold, 2C, Which Could Cause A Run Away Global Warming Through Feedback Mechanisms Acting To Create A Domino Effect Resulting In Rapid Hotter Conditions Called “Hothouse Earth.” Scientists Expect This To Happen Decades Away Unless Green House Gases Emissions Are Drastically Reduced.

The World’s First Largest Dinosaur, To The Best Of Known Records, Has Been Discovered In Argentina. The Dinosaur, Named Lessemsaurids, Is Said To Have Existed Towards The Late Triassic Period. The Lessemsaurids Is Also Said To Belong To The Group Called Sauropodomorphs, Which Evolved To The Largest Dinosaurs To Ever Walk The Earth.
