Top quality French wines could stop soon due to clmate change
Comments (0) Drink up whilst you can, as top quality French wines might soon be a thing of the past due to climate change. A study by scientists of 500 years of records shows global warming is causing grape harvests to begin weeks earlier than usual. And as an early harvest normally signifies a good vintage, any further increase in warming will see the end of quality wines from the region. Temperature is the main driver of grape-harvest timing and in the last 30 years, gradual warming h..>> view originalCoral Reefs Bounce Back Despite Warming Of Oceans – Global Warming, Pollution And Humans Still Destroying Them
Coral reefs have managed to bounce back, despite being under constant threat of extinction. However, marine scientists caution these fragile ecosystems are still being threatened by global warming, pollution and human activity. The discovery of a large number of coral reefs in excellent health has been quite a joyous occasion for the researchers who routinely deal with ominous news like mass die-offs, worldwide bleaching events, oil spills, and such other calamities which have been pushing the ..>> view originalSaturn's inner moons may have formed only recently, from a giant ring
NASA It's common to think of the Solar System as a fairly static place. Yes, everything is moving around all the time, but the same basic system of planets and most of their moons seems to have more or less existed as-is since the relatively early days of the Solar System. Earth’s Moon, for example, is thought to have formed less than 100 million years after the Solar System coalesced, coming into existence when Earth collided with a Mars-sized body. And so it has gone for the last 4.5 billi..>> view originalWTF, Japan? Bad Week for Whales As Japan Defends Slaughter Of 200 Pregnant Minkes, Calls It 'Scientific Research'
Last December, four vessels embarked from Shimonoseki harbor in Japan with a mission. On Thursday that mission was accomplished when the fleet returned with its bloody bounty. The cargo holds of the ships contained the bodies of 333 minke whales. Two-hundred and thirty of the whales were female, and 90 percent of the female whales were pregnant, says Reuters.

NASA radars captured haunting images of the historic comet flyby that occurred earlier this week. The shadowy images of the comet flyby, one of two occurring within the span of a week, were recorded over three days from March 21 to 23. NASA scientists were able to take a series of images of the comet flyby by using instruments in the Deep Space Network located in Goldstone, California. The Deep Space Network is a scientific telecommunications system that was designed to link a series of massive..>> view originalIs A New Era Of Physics Dawning? Physicists "Electrified" By Discovery Of New Particle
Physicists around the world were thrilled last month when news broke about a new type of subatomic particle—the so-called “tetraquark”, an unheard-of arrangement of four quarks. But scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, looked at their own data, and they’ve said they’ve tried and failed to find concurring evidence. The existence of the four-flavored tetraquark was posited by researchers who worked off data from a particle accelerator at Fermilab, near Chicago. ..>> view originalSolar storms on Jupiter make brilliant auroras
Solar storms on Jupiter make brilliant aurorasPosted on March 26, 2016 by James Sullivan Solar storms are triggering X-ray auroras on Jupiter that are about eight times brighter than normal over a large area of the planet and hundreds of times more energetic than Earth’s "northern lights." Credit: NASA/CXC/UCL/W.DunnThe planet Jupiter is known for its powerful magnetic storms, but one violent solar storm in particular, made the auroras burned eight times brighter than usual under X-ray light. ..>> view original
