The genetic secret revealed: Humans evolved from two separate ancient species
New research at the University of Cambridge reveals that the modern human genome was created as a result of a merger between two ancient populations, which separated about 1.5 million years ago and reunited about 300 years ago.

An artist's impression shows the internal structure of Jupiter's moon Io. Data from NASA's Juno spacecraft indicate that Io does not have a shallow global magma ocean, and is consistent with a mostly solid mantle (shown in green), with significant molten material (yellow and orange), above a liquid core (red/black).

For a century, astronomers have devoted their energies to studying Barnard's Star in the hope of finding planets around it. First discovered by EE Barnard at Yerkes Laboratory in 1916, this star is the closest single star system to Earth. Now, astronomers have discovered four sub-Earth-mass planets orbiting this star. One of the planets represents the discovery of the lowest-mass planet ever detected using the angular velocity technique, marking a turning point in the search for small planets in close proximity to stars.
