This confirmed detailed predictions of how such clashes created some mysterious γ-ray bursts and also most of the Universe’s heavier elements, including gold and uranium.

It carried away roughly 12% of the surface area of Larsen C - Antarctica's fourth largest ice shelf. ]]> 2018-02-20 17:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233409810 maddielowe https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233414641 NASA´s Cassini spacecraft met its end on September 15. Scientists and engineers at the jet propulsion laboratory in Pasadena, California, watched an incoming radio signal dwindle and die on a computer monitor as Cassini burned up in Saturn´s atmosphere ]]> 2018-02-20 17:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233414641 maddielowe https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233417210 The first total solar eclipse to cross the U.S. from coast to coast in 99 years occurred on August 21. It gave people across the country an excuse to duck away from their normal occupations and observe the phenomenon, but it also afforded scientists a rare chance to study the sun’s chemistry. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233417210 maddielowe https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233419477 Researchers found a 100-foot-long cavern using an innovative imaging technique that depends on high-speed particles called muons. Researchers used these cosmic rays to penetrate millions of tons of rock in the pyramids and reveal the hidden void via particle detectors]]> 2018-02-20 18:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233419477 maddielowe https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233888011 The Lost land of Zealandia sits on the ocean floor between New Zealand and New Caledonia. It wasn't always a sunken land, researchers have found fossils that suggested novel kinds of plants and organisms that lived there. This is an interesting fact because we seriously found new land that nobody knew about. ]]> 2018-02-21 17:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/maddielowe/572iujmmbjtx/wish/233888011
