Daunting—but not impossible. One way to help prepare for our imminent arrival is to gain a better understanding of the frequency and effects of meteorite strikes on the lunar surface. NASA isn’t only relying on its brave squadron of astronauts like the recently returned Artemis II crew to do the work, however.

But a new study of brain variation reveals that Neanderthals and humans were much more alike than previously assumed.Neanderthal skulls are quite obviously different in shape from those of early modern humans. While Neanderthals had longer, lower skulls with heavier brow ridges and larger nasal openings, modern humans have more globular skulls with smaller facial features. The inside of the skull, called the endocranium, also…

A rock discovered by NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover contains “the most diverse collection” of the building blocks of life ever seen on the Red Planet, including seven never found there before, new research confirms.In 2020, Curiosity discovered and drilled into the rock, which has now been confirmed to contain organic molecules that bear the life-friendly element carbon.

Earlier this month, Activision revealed that Peter Berg was set to direct the upcoming Call of Duty movie from Paramount.
