Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new study led by Prof. Chen Yi from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS) provides an answer to the question of how young volcanism occurred on the moon. The researchers found that mantle melting-point depression due to the presence of fusible, easily melted components could generate young lunar volcanism. Their findings were published in Science Advances on Oct. 21. Lunar samples returned by the Apollo and Luna missions are all older than about 3 billion years, leading scientists to suppose that the moon has been geologically dead since…

If given the chance to record an album anywhere, where would you pick? Would you go the traditional route and pick some classic recording studios, like Abbey Road, Sound City, or Electric Lady? Or, would you take the unconventional route and prioritize atmosphere, helming an album with Rick Rubin “on top of a mountain” in Costa Rica like The Strokes did? Or craft your band’s opus at 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles — the location of the infamous Manson murders — a la Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral? For Phoenix‘s seventh studio album, Alpha Zulu (out this Friday, November 4th),…

Bo. is. back! You read that right. Peter Reckell’s iconic character will again grace our screens sometime soon.

Thanks to Megan Hathaway, Bo got a second chance at life, and the guardian angel that had to deal with his constant flouting of Heaven’s rules probably breathed a sigh of relief. The Bo resurrection storyline was a cliffhanger that had to be resolved. And now it looks like…
Jennifer Lopez has had so many statement fashion moments over the years. Remember the Versace dress, the Met Gala headpiece and, most recently, the custom Ralph Lauren wedding gown? But despite all the sparkle and glamour, it’s clear that when J.Lo dresses down, she always turns to denim. In the early days of her career, she relied on daring, low-rise styles. Now in her 50s, she’s branching out and perhaps revisiting some old favourites along the way.Between baggy, pleated, skinny, and bootcut, if it’s a jean style, J.Lo has probably tried it. She’s never one to shy away from experimenting…

Dressing up for Halloween isn’t for everyone, but for those who partake in the tradition, it’s usually the best part of spooky season. A lot of rock and metal fans choose to dress up as their favorite musicians for the festivities, so it’s fun to see what the actual musicians dress up as themselves.You may have already seen that Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox dressed up as Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson over the weekend because it was all over social media. With that, we decided to round up some other costumes rockers have sported in the days…
Even before the pandemic, movie theaters weren’t in the greatest of shape. Then along came a novel coronavirus, one that was particularly transmissible in enclosed spaces packed with lots of people. Theaters were shuttered for months, and when they reopened it was with strict rules on crowds, cleaning, and masks — all necessary for safety, of course, but not exactly conducive to a relaxing night of escapism.While theaters were closed, some studios sold off some of their titles to streaming services. Others used their unreleased productions to bolster their own streaming sites. Warner Bros., for example, released all of their 2021 big-screen titles…

It’s dinosaur lore that pachycephalosaurs — bipedal, Cretaceous beasts with massively thick, domed skulls — forcefully butted heads like bighorn sheep do today. But a new analysis suggests that this is far from the case; rather, pachycephalosaurs (pack-ee-SEH’-fa-low-sawrs) may have moved more like kangaroos, using their tail as a tripod that could prop them up as they launched powerful kicks at rivals.Paleontologists found evidence of this kickboxing behavior by analyzing a well-preserved skeleton of Pachycephalosaurus, making a virtual 3D model of it and noting that parts of the dinosaur’s anatomy resembled those of a kangaroo and moved in strikingly similar…
Patti Smith Group’s song “Rock n Roll N****r,” which has drawn condemnation since its release on Easter in 1978, has disappeared from streaming services, Rolling Stone reports. Smith has made no comment on the removal, and it is unclear who made the decision. For decades, she defended the use of the slur, saying she wanted to reclaim the term for artists and people on the margins of society.In a Rolling Stone interview promoting Easter upon its release, Smith used the N-word to describe Mick Jagger in a similar spirit. When the interviewer pointed out that Jagger had not “suffered like…

Mycology, aka the study of fungi, is having a moment. From mushroom illustrations as part of the cottagecore aesthetic look to foragers posting their finds on social media and scientists delighting readers with nonfiction mushroom books, the hidden fungi kingdom is suddenly quite popular. Broadly defined, a fungus, of the kingdom fungi, is a eukaryotic, heterotrophic organism, and while mycology was once treated as a subset of botany, it’s now thought that fungi bear more relation as a kingdom to animals than to plants. What accounts for much of fungi’s fascination is that these organisms can go largely unseen: while…

From its cast of good-old-fashioned self-serious actors to its classic power struggle story, HBO’s black comedy-drama Succession is an enthralling hit, so it’s no wonder it’s been renewed for Season 4. Succession, which initially premiered in 2018, follows the Roy family, the rich owners of the media conglomerate Waystar RoyCo. Patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) founded the company, but when the show begins, his ailing health leads his kids — Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin), Siobhan (Sarah Snook), and Connor (Alan Ruck) — to vie for control. The next installment of Jesse Armstrong’s series is slated to drop sometime…
In 2022, filmmakers decided it was time to make something personal and semi-autobiographical. James Gray made Armageddon Time, Alejandro G. Iñarritu made Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, and Sam Mendes is coming out with Empire of Light later this year.

Spielberg’s first writing credit in over 20 years proves to be a charming delight, showcasing a semi-autobiographic tale…

Midterm elections are almost here. Most of the conversation concerns Congress and governorships, but some of the most critical and underappreciated races affect people’s day-to-day lives. Positions like township supervisor, school board member or county commissioner are some of the more than 500,000 state and municipal offices in the United States that oversee complex policy, including on science-related issues including climate change, health care and reproductive choice. State-level positions spend $3.2 trillion in taxpayer funds each year, and many are held by people who deny facts, data and even reality itself when crafting policy. In the current environment of school…

And I’m not just talking about the impressive dossier of talented designers. The culmination of weather, history and the ever-changing zeitgeist has filtered out the items that just don’t feel quite right…
