In short, opposite sides of a mountain may have different climates, even though they're close to each other. In areas with varied terrain including lots of hills, therefore, hospitable conditions might be available relatively nearby. "That was the unexpected message," says Loarie, an ecologist at the Carnegie Institution for...
He and the other co-authors, including scientists at Climate Central in Palo Alto and the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, emphasize that their velocity maps are oversimplifications - at least so far. For one thing, they do not account for the unique characteristics of various species within a...
Harvard researchers have discovered a "super-Earth" orbiting a red dwarf star 40 light-years from Earth with telescopes no larger than those used by amateur stargazers.
Harvard astronomy professor David Charbonneau and his colleagues discovered the super-Earth using the MEarth (pronounced "mirth") Project, an array of eight robotic telescopes that have monitored 2,000 red dwarf stars since Oct. 2008.
Zachory K. Berta, a graduate student at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who first spotted the hint of the planet among the data, said that the telescopes used in the project are "no more advanced than what a sophisticated amateur would have."
