Roadside assistance for Mars rover
Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700
The Spirit rover is stuck in the Red Planet's fluffy soil, so engineers at JPL have re-created the scene in a sandbox to figure out how to get it free. Getting your car stuck is irritating enough, but what do you do when your vehicle is dug into the sand of another planet and the nearest auto club is 180 million miles away?
El Nino more like Los Ninos, weather study finds
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:59:00 -0700
The Pacific Ocean warming can be broken down into two distinct patterns, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers say. The finding could help improve North Atlantic Hurricane predictions. El Nino, the seasonal Pacific Ocean warming that affects the world's weather, may not be just one little boy -- it seems to be two little boys.
Sheep getting smaller in Scotland due to climate change, study says
Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700
The average weight and size of sheep on a remote island have been falling in small but steady increments since 1985. Milder winters mean smaller animals but a larger herd. Along with polar icecaps and sandy beaches, sheep on a remote Scottish island are gradually shrinking as a result of global warming, according to a study published today in the journal Science. The finding offers unusual proof that large animals are already evolving to adapt to changes wrought by climate change, experts said.
