New Horizons probe sends more amazing pics of Pluto and a tiny moon called Nix
The hits just keep on coming from NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto: This week’s stunners include views of the surface that look weirder than the terrain in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” plus a close look at Nix, one of Pluto’s five moons. During...
Exceptional preservation of tiny embryos documents seed dormancy in early angiosperms
The rapid diversification of angiosperms through the Early Cretaceous period, between about 130–100 million years ago, initiated fundamental changes in the composition of terrestrial vegetation and is increasingly well understood on the basis of a wealth of palaeobotanical discoveries over the past four decades and their integration with improved knowledge of living angiosperms. Prevailing hypotheses, based on evidence both from living and from fossil...
