Astronomers used data from the ALMA telescope and JWST’s NIRCam to study 3 galaxies that formed roughly 2 to 3 billion years after the Big Bang, during a period of rapid star formation known as "cosmic noon." #SciComm #SciNews sciworthy.com/what-were-an...
Scientists determined that tsunamis caused by slip-to-the-trench earthquakes are common in the Japan Trench. #SciComm #SciNews sciworthy.com/the-history-...
The evolution of land plants about 450 million years ago altered many of Earth’s geologic processes, like weathering and erosion. Now, researchers think they might have fundamentally altered rivers as well. #SciComm #SciNews sciworthy.com/how-did-plan...
