However, when an earthquake strikes, the area that experiences the strongest shaking is not always the largest damage. In the fall of 1999, it caused a large -scale damage in Taiwan and adopted a…

Astronomers map ‘danger zone’ of planet-forming disks in star clusters
X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO/J. Drake et al, IR: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Spitzer; Image processing: NASA/CXC/SAO/N. walk Most stars form collections called clusters or federations that contain very massive stars. These massive stars emit large amounts of high-energy radiation that can destroy relatively fragile disks of dust and gas that are in the process of merging to form new planets. A team of astronomers uses NASA’s…

Full moon danger: 50% more collisions with wildlife vehicles on moonlit nights
A new Texas A&M study found that wildlife-vehicle collisions increase by 45.8% during full moons. Credit: Rachel Barton and Tanner Konarik/Texas A&M Engineering The moon’s influence on our planet, culture, and society goes beyond influencing the tides. A recent study by Texas A&M University published in the journal Transportation Research Part D shows that collisions with wildlife vehicles increase by…
