just as the daffodils are waning, the ornithogalum have stepped forward. The white bells nodding sweetly are such good place holders for the drama of the alliums coming up soon.
astronomers have discovered an exoplanet orbiting Barnard’s star, the closest single star to our Sun. On this newly discovered exoplanet, which has at least half the mass of Venus, a year lasts just over three Earth days. The team’s observations also hint at the existence of three more ...
Earth: 1 moon Moon. Radius: 1,737.4 km (1,080 mi). Mars: 2 moons Deimos: Named after the Roman god of dread, Deimos is the smaller of Mars’s two moons. Dimensions: 15 km x 12.2 km x 11 km (9.3 x 7.6 x 6.8 mi). Phobos: The larger moon of Mars, gouged and nearly shatter...
The 14-ft tall, six-footed carbon fibre and titanium lander descended from a moon-skimming orbit and guided itself to the surface, searching for a relatively flat spot among the cliffs and craters to make its landing near the south pole. Back on Earth, the team had to...

To estimate the impact of hypothetical climate changes on the coverage of suitable niches of studied plants we used the same climatic variables as considered in the present models. The layers based on the coupled global climate models were used (http://ccafs-climate.org). Three various emission...
Certain beneficial features of all-iron RFBs have emerged, including a high level of solubility, improved discharge energy density, operation stability with less precipitation even at increased electrolyte temperatures, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, low-cost redox species, and abundant earth metal...
