Bivalves voraciously eat contaminants, potentially making them easier to clear from the water

Astronomers have been obsessed with WASP-18 b since it's discovery in 2009. Now the JWST's NIRISS instrument is feeding that obsession.

Robots will be one of the keys to the expanding in-space economy. As launch costs decrease—hopefully significantly when Starship and other massive lift systems come online—the most significant barrier to entry for the space economy will finally come down.

Tectonic events cause tsunamis that can affect the atmosphere and distort GPS signals. Those distortions may help predict tsunamis.
