🔬 JWST Just Rewrote Planetary Science, a 43-Foot Sea Monster Resurfaces, and Your Ice Pack Might Be a Lie

Episode 366 Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered stunning new evidence that's blurring the line between planets and stars, forcing scientists to rethink how our cosmic family tree is structured. A massive 43-foot mosasaur unearthed in Texas is rewriting what we know about ancient ocean predators, while a 380-million-year-old Antarctic fish is offering a rare glimpse into one of the most pivotal moments in the history of life on Earth. On the health front, surprising new research challenges the go-to practice of icing injuries, a landmark study reveals how much exercise your heart actually needs, and scientists have uncovered a potential new link between fat molecules and Alzheimer's disease. NASA's Psyche spacecraft hit a major milestone with a gravity-assist flyby of Mars, and a new electric thruster just set a U.S. power record that could change everything about crewed Mars missions. Oh, and it turns out bees might be getting a little tipsy in your garden — science confirmed it.
