NASA to Make Major Announcement About Martian Rock Sample on Wednesday. Here’s How to Watch

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-14 15:45:16

In July 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover extracted a rock core from the edge of Neretva Vallis, a river valley cut into the Martian surface by water rushing into the Jezero Crater billions of years ago. This mysterious rock caught the attention of scientists on Earth, as its features may reveal clues about possible ancient life on the Red Planet. At 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 10, NASA will host a press conference to discuss the analysis of the sample, dubbed “Sapphire Canyon,” and the su

This Bizarre Fish Has 8 Rows of Forehead Teeth It Uses During Sex

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-14 15:55:29

Spotted ratfish are scaleless, rabbit-faced deep-sea fish, about two feet (61 centimeters) long, and native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean. As if that wasn’t a strange enough description, these distant shark cousins also feature teeth on their foreheads. While a number of marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and whale sharks, have external tooth-like structures called denticles, it turns out the spotted ratfish’s toothy features are straight-up true teeth, as true as the ones in your mouth.

Microplastics are found everywhere from kitchen tools to food storage. As a result, you're probably ingesting thousands of tiny plastic particles without even realizing it. Studies estimate the average person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles annually through food and beverages alone -- and when airborne particles are included, that number can climb as high as 120,000.

Geothermal is too expensive, but Dig Energy’s impossibly small drill rig might fix that

But for Dig Energy, the mud is a feature, not a bug, of its compact drilling rig.
