Getty Images Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) allows satellites to bounce radar signals off the ground and interpret the echo – and can even peer through clouds. Clouds roll in two thirds of the world at any time, preventing conventional satellites from seeing much of the planet. But now a declassified technology known as Synthetic Aperture … Read more

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has recorded some of the youngest galaxies in the universe forming. According to a new journal article, the three galaxies are thought to have taken shape when the universe was only 400 to 600 million years old. Science. The universe is thought to be about 13.8 billion years old, meaning … Read more
High-intensity workouts are designed to be challenging. The point of running repeatedly for 30 seconds or a minute at a time is to achieve maximum cardiovascular exercise in the shortest possible time. But that doesn’t mean these workouts have to be punishing for your joints. The best-known of these workouts, high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, … Read more
I was once sitting with my dad googling how far different things in the solar system are from Earth. He was looking for exact numbers and was very obviously investing more with each new figure I shouted out. I was excited. Moon? An average of 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) away. The James Webb Space Telescope? … Read more
From the time you’re born until about age 2, the outer layer of your brain — the cortex — rapidly thickens in a frenzy of neuron formation. After all that excitement, that dense hedge of nerve cells was trimmed back in a process called “cortical thinning.” Now, a new study has found some key differences … Read more
Most humans alive today carry traces of genes inherited from Neanderthals, indicating a complex history of interbreeding between modern humans and their now-extinct cousins. But exactly when we first met our ‘cousins’ proved elusive. Recent genome analysis now suggests that this genetic mixing occurred about 47,000 years ago. If this research passes peer review, it … Read more
