How marine heat waves reshape ocean food webs and slow deep sea carbon transport

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

Simulations show Saturn's moon Enceladus shoots less ice into space than previous estimates

In the 17th century, astronomers Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini trained their telescopes on Saturn and uncovered a startling truth: the planet's luminous bands were not solid appendages, but vast, separate rings ...
