Jupiter's Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, may be heating up. Its intrinsic magnetic field is generated through a process called a dynamo, powered by the electrically conductive, churning liquid iron in its core. #astronomy https://buff.ly/fgv7sju
The solar system's largest moon may be heating up — offering clues to its mysterious origins
The largest moon in the solar system — Jupiter’s Ganymede — has a unique and inexplicable magnetic field. New research could finally explain it: the moon is heating up.
Bizarre patterns on #Venus have scientists puzzled. Huge circles of fracture systems that we think are basically the surface expression of a plume of hot material moving upwards from the interior of the planet. #astronomy https://buff.ly/XAhiFoC
Bizarre patterns on Venus have scientists puzzled
Scientists are trying to understand Venus' bright surface formations, called coronae, using new 3D maps.
Reprint: Strongmen Doomed to Fail! Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and Imperial Japan all built their military strategies on a version of this ideology. And in each case, the strategy failed, undone by its own contradictions. #warriorethos https://buff.ly/OPaNVVO

The ‘warrior ethos’ promises victory — history says it leads to defeat Hitler and Mussolini salute Nazi ...
'Last titan' of Thailand discovered, and it's the longest-necked dinosaur on record from Southeast Asia, lived up to 120 million years ago when the region was semi-arid, would have used its long body and large surface area to shed heat and keep cool. #paleontology https://buff.ly/oZGad9H
'Last titan' of Thailand discovered, and it's the longest-necked dinosaur on record from Southeast Asia
A newfound species of long-necked dinosaur from Thailand lived up to 120 million years ago, and it's the largest known of its kind from Southeast Asia.
Physicists confirm 'negative time' is real in mind-bending quantum experiment. When a beam of light passes through a cloud of atoms, photons (particles of light) sometimes appear to spend a negative amount of time there, with light seeming to exit the cloud before it even enters. https://buff.ly/WwNO8x2
Physicists confirm 'negative time' is real by asking the atoms themselves
A new experiment confirms that photons passing through a cloud of atoms can spend a negative amount of time there, and the atoms themselves are the ones saying so.
There's a new T. rex from the dinosaur age — and it ruled the seas with a skull-crushing bite. A new species of mosasaur, Tylosaurus rex, lived at the same time as dinosaurs (Cretaceous period 145-66 my ago). https://buff.ly/vz29m9i
There's a new T. rex from the dinosaur age — and it ruled the seas with a skull-crushing bite
The newly described mosasaur Tylosaurus rex spanned up to 43 feet (13 meters) long and may have been one of the fiercest marine predators of the dinosaur age.
