Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the world of marine biology, finding that starfish and other echinoderms are essentially walking heads with very little body. This shocking revelation has upended long-held assumptions about the anatomy of these fascinating creatures. Echinoderms, including starfish, evolved from bilateral organisms but somehow developed a radial body plan, where body parts are arranged around a central axis. For years, scientists have debated how this unusual body structure came to be. One prevailing hypothesis proposes that echinoderms retained a general bilateral body plan and multiplied it, resulting in the multiple arms seen on sea stars.…

Scientists Discover Possible Remnants of Ancient Planet Within Earth’s Mantle Scientists conducting research on Earth’s origins believe they may have found remnants of an ancient planet buried deep within our planet’s mantle. Dubbed Theia, this Mars-sized planet is thought to have collided with Earth billions of years ago, leading to the formation of the moon. Through computer simulations, researchers have hypothesized that two massive regions, known as large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs), located beneath Earth’s surface could be remnants of Theia. These LLVPs were first identified in the 1980s and have distinct composition and higher density compared to the surrounding mantle.…

Europe’s space agency, the European Space Agency (ESA), has announced plans to call on the private sector to develop services for small rockets in a bid to drive future space reform. This decision is aimed at addressing the short-term gaps in space access caused by delays and technical setbacks with Ariane 6 and Vega-C rockets. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher hailed this move as a “paradigm shift” for space transportation. Under this new approach, the ESA will purchase services from the private sector, starting with the development of mini-launchers that could potentially replace Europe’s heavier rockets in the future. The…
