Unbeknownst to me, the powers that are in Tokyo’s Minato ward, where many Embassies are located, and many international residents of Tokyo live, decided that the venerable camphor tree in the historic Arisugawa Park needed to be moved.

Newly discovered super-Earth orbits in and out of its star’s habitable zone. Could life survive its extreme climate?

The climate on such a world must be beyond bizarre.

The planet, known as HD 20794d, gets farther out from its star than Mars is from the sun and, on the other end of its orbit, as close as Venus. Each orbit the plan

I Captured The ‘Disappearing’ Beauty Of Greenland, And Here’s The Result (24 Pics)

Greenland is hot! Quite literally. Summer this year has been one of the hottest summers in Greenland. The icecap is melting faster than ever before. The current melt was only predicted to happen in 2070. And with 50 years ‘ahead of schedule’ it will only get worse. But Greenland is also ‘hot’ in another way.
