How 'Earth's twin' Venus lost its water and became a hellish planet

"Venus has 100,000 times less water than the Earth, even though it's basically the same size and mass."

Model suggests Milky Way warp and flare due to tilt of dark halo

New Simulation Reveals the Churning Interiors of Giant Stars

Stellar fusion happens at a star's core, where the enormous temperatures and pressures fuse hydrogen atoms into helium, releasing radiation. Waves of turbulent convection generated in the core can take hundreds of thousands of years to ripple outward through the stars' layers, finally reaching the surface. A new simulation shows waves generated deep inside stars, more massive than the Sun, make their way to the surface and affect the star's brightness.

Modeling of European Neanderthal migration hints at hidden archaeological hot spots in Iran

Researchers modeling eastern Neanderthal migration from Europe have found the area south of the Caspian Sea in northern Iran to be the most likely route, suggesting there could be significant yet-to-be-discovered archaeological sites hidden in less explored areas along the way.
