Greenland's Melting Glaciers Feed Ocean Life, Study Finds
A new NASA-led study reveals that Greenland’s melting glaciers are fueling life in the Arctic Ocean. Each summer, massive freshwater plumes from glaciers like Jakobshavn drag deep-sea nutrients upward, boosting phytoplankton growth by up to 40%. These microscopic organisms form the base of the marine food web and play a key role in carbon absorpt...

New Analysis Weakens Claims of Life on Distant Exoplanet K2-18b
A new study led by University of Chicago researchers has reanalyzed James Webb Space Telescope data and found weaker evidence for potential biosignatures on exoplanet K2-18b. Earlier reports had suggested the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a chemical associated with marine life on Earth. However, the latest analysis reveals that the signals ar...

Scientists Discover Three-Eyed Sea Moth From Half a Billion Years Ago
Paleontologists have discovered Mosura fentoni, a three-eyed, finger-sized marine predator from half a billion years ago, in museum fossil collections in Canada. Named after the Japanese monster Mothra, this ancient radiodont had a highly segmented body and unusually long gills on its rear, possibly adapted for breathing in low-oxygen environments....
