Fossils of giant marine reptiles found high in the Swiss Alps 28 Apr 2022 - 08:50 pm
Reconstruction of a scene from 200 million years ago in what is now the Swiss High Alps. Geological deposits dating to more than 200 million years ago of an ocean that was the precursor of the Mediterranean Sea have been preserved in the Swiss High Alps. Fossils of whale-sized marine reptiles called ichthyosaurs, which came from the open sea occasionally into shallower water, have been unearthed in the Swiss High Alps.

Surprised astronomers find new type of star explosion - a micronova 20 Apr 2022 - 07:23 pm
This artist's impression shows a two-star system where stellar explosions called micronovae may occur. The blue disc swirling around the bright white dwarf in the center of the image is made up of material, mostly hydrogen, stolen from its companion star. Towards the center of the disc, the white dwarf uses its strong magnetic fields to funnel the hydrogen towards its poles. As the material falls on the hot surface of the star, it triggers a micronova explosion, contained by the magnetic fields at one of the white dwarf's poles. European Southern Observatory/M.
