A New Kind of Aurora on Mars
Solar storms are brutal events on Mars. Without a global magnetic shield for protection, the planet gets battered by the radiation from super-hot plumes of plasma. Today, Mars’s atmosphere is mostly made up of carbon dioxide. During solar storms, the planet is bombarded with sun particles moving a million miles an hour, and Mars loses oxygen atoms at a rate 10 times greater than ...

Absurd Creature of the Week: The Mystery of the Arctic’s Toxic, Lethargic Shark
IN ICELAND THEY have this delicacy called hákarl that recently initiated diners describe as “the worst tasting food on Earth,” “the world’s foulest food,” and “the worst thing I have ever had in my mouth.” To say it smells like a urinal would be generous. Not that anyone should be surprised, considering hákarl is rotten shark meat fermented in the dirt or open air f...

THE HEART IS JUST A PUMP
Steve Williams couldn’t breathe. The former athlete had cardiomyopathy, which occasionally choked his lungs with fluid, making him gasp for air. But this felt different; Williams felt like he was dying. He was raced to an Orange County hospital, and shortly after checking in, his heart stopped. For 30 minutes, ER workers compressed his chest in an attempt to revive him. At one po...

Our Planet Is Among the First of Many, Many Earths
Throughout the universe, trapped in the halos of dark matter, there is enough planet-making material to create at least 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 more Earth-like planets. A billion trillion of them. In the Milky Way alone, that would mean another 5 billion Earth-like planets over time....

Hidden Planets, Ten Times the Size of Jupiter
When a star is born, it is the result of immense pressure on hydrogen atoms until fusion reactions begin. And for many stars, a pancake-shaped glob of gas and dust particles—a feature called a circumstellar disk—ends up hanging around for a few million years after formation....
