Skulls Shows gradual Human Sidestep into a Neanderthal: Interesting find in Northern Spain's "pit of bones" could have found the evidence of an evolutionary sidestep from Homo Sapiens to Neanderthal.
Earth Sized Diamond: Approximately 11 billion years old, this star has collapsed to a white dwarf and is believed to be mostly carbon. This hard to find object was estimated in size by using how much it bent light from a nearby pulsar. Cool!
Titan Older than Saturn: OK. First Titan is evaluated as being older than Saturn, the planet it currently orbits (due to nitrogen 14 to 15 comparisons) but it also has a different nitrogen than Earth, meaning two different creations of these planets. Wow!
Colonizing Venus: A very interesting and novel way of colonizing Venus...with balloons!
Radio Burst from Beyond the Milky Way: One observation from one observer is unproven but this recent detection by two radio observatories is significant. Could it be a stellar event or another civilization, long dead...who knows for now.
Potential Cure for Diabetes: From the Salk institute, mice were injected with FGF1 protein and had normal blood sugars for at least two days. Could be developed to correct human's levels for longer. Of course we need to change people's diets so we don't need to get this treatment in the first place...
Religious Children more likely to believe fiction as fact than Secular children: Interesting. A study that shows how teaching children that things they cannot ever perceive is real somehow skews their judgement of whether other things are real or not. Hmmmm.
