JWST recently captured three of the universe’s earliest galaxies being pulled together by a giant, dark cloud of hydrogen gas. The three faint specks of red light in a recent JWST data set traveled more than 13 billion light-years through space to reach the telescope’s mirrors. That ancient light carries a snapshot of what galaxies…
Critics are responding to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has attributed recent major weather events and transportation crises to climate change, at least in part. On Sunday, Buttigieg appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” where he claimed the effects of climate change are to blame for recent incidents of severe airplane turbulence and extreme weather….

Geneticists have completed the first “end-to-end” genetic sequencing of the sex chromosomes of 5 great ape species. The analyzes provide insights into the evolution of the Y chromosome, which is usually present in males, and the X chromosome, which is present in both males and females. The researchers found that more than 90% of the…
