Alien material uncovered inside Earth's crater 'rewriting human history'
Researchers have uncovered traces of alien space matter within an ancient impact site in South Korea, a discovery that could fundamentally alter our understanding of how life began on Earth.The team examined the Hapcheon crater, the sole verified asteroid-strike site on the Korean Peninsula, where they identified stromatolites bearing extraterrestrial signatures.These distinctive layered rock formations, created by microbial activity, rank among the earliest known indicators of life on our plane...
Scientists map rocks with rare earth element potential, helping pinpoint new deposits
Researchers from Cambridge’s Department of Earth Sciences mapped occurrences of CO2-rich igneous rocks – the world’s primary source of rare earth elements – finding that their distribution is strongly tied to variations in Earth’s rigid outer layer, the lithosphere. Thicker lithosphere is key to creating the right rocks for enrichment, say the researchers, allowing pockets of molten rock to become trapped at depth where they slowly steep to concentrate metals. The findings, published in the jo...

Something coming: Here's what scientists know about a potential 'super' El Nino
Forecasters say a potentially “super” El Nino is rapidly taking shape in the Pacific — but whether it evolves into a history-making event could hinge on fickle winds and other volatile atmospheric shifts. The fast-warming tropical Pacific is pointing to a major event but a crucial weakening of trade winds — capable of turbocharging or throttling the phenomenon — has yet to materialise. Scientists say these interactions are notoriously complex and difficult to predict — making it too early to con...

SpaceX to give out bonus when 1m humans settle on Mars
NEW YORK: SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO filing included some out of this world details, including a provision that founder Elon Musk’s massive bonus only kicks in if one million humans settle on Mars.
