Unexplained Intergalactic Radio Bursts Confirmed At Arecibo:

Four recently detected “blitzars” (red stars) have revealed that these sources of fleeting radio bursts are much more distant than known pulsars (black dots) (Image: C. Ng/MPIfR) You have almost certainly heard of quasars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and pulsars. However most people don’t really know too much about the grouping of stars that are called “blitzars.” This isn’t too

The Lion Soaking: Lioness takes no chances as she carries nine-week-old cub across fast-flowing river

Her jaws clamped firmly around the scruff of her tiny cub’s neck, this plucky lioness is taking no chances as she tackles a risky river crossing. As her nine-week-old youngster dangles beneath her, the mother skips gingerly between impromptu stepping stones.

Insects with Female Penises Discovered, the Birth of a New Moon, and More!

You'll never look at them in the same way again. On a slightly more scientific note, did you know that a dog nose print is as unique as a human fingerprint? This week on IFLS, a female insect develops a penis-like sex organ, the Kepler team discovers the most Earth-like planet YET, a meteorite explodes over Russia (again!), and much more!

Flying Lion: Buffalo Launches Predator Into The Air

THIS lion was flipped five metres into the air by a buffalo in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Norjalainen koulu kielsi puhelimien käytön koulupäivien aikana

Candy Crush Sagan pelaaminen, tekstaaminen, ja puhelimessa puhuminen ovat sallittuja ajanvietteitä kotona, koulu päätti. Oppilaskunta ja koulu tekivät päätöksen yhdessä. Puhelimia ei saa käyttää luokissa, käytävillä, eikä koulun pihalla. Sen sijaan, oppilaat siis jättävät laitteensa luokassa olevaan “hotelliin”, ja ottavat ne sieltä mukaansa vasta kotiin lähtiessään.

Mars Missions Could Make Humanity a Multi-Planet Species, NASA Chief Says

In order for humanity to survive into the distant future, we need to visit and learn how to survive on other worlds, according to NASA chief Charles Bolden. NASA is in the process of developing technologies that are expected to help humans get to Mars and beyond. Landing astronauts on Mars and even establishing a long-term human presence on the Red Planet is just one step toward learning ho

Amazing! Giant Megabats!

Amazing! Giant Megabats! The giant golden-crowned flying fox gets its species name from the golden fur around the head, in sharp contrast to the black body. Like all other fruit bats, they have no tail. They are among the largest bats, with a wingspan of 1.5–1.7 m (4 ft 10 in–5 ft 7 in) and weighing 0.7–1.2 kg (1.5–2.6 lb). The only other bats with comparable measurements are a few sp
