A planet similar to the size of Earth and a planet like Venus recently collided and were destroyed as they orbited around the star BD+20°307 in a mature solar system like our own. It is being called “the ultimate extinction event.”

German and Czech researchers studied satellites images of thousands of cows and deer around the world and found most of them graze and rest in a north-south position. Could they be sensing the magnetic field of the Earth? Or, maybe they just happened to stand and sit that way? In any case, it’s a pretty mooooving study!

Seismometers in Japan recorded ground-motion waves from a 2006 earthquake in southeastern Africa. A British geophysics team analyzed the resulting data and found “faint yet direct” evidence that the Earth’s inner core structure is solid--something scientists believe but find difficult to directly prove.
