Eating dust: How do ash and dust help hummus?

Just last May, we were shocked by the forest fires that raged in the Jerusalem mountains. But alongside the extensive damage, the fires also have a positive impact on nature. New research reveals that plants have the ability to absorb ash from the air

Gallons = small waves. A new international study led by Ben-Gurion University has challenged the prevailing theory that different physical conditions allow the development of galleons that do not exist on Earth
Curiosity's rear Hazcam recorded the shadow of the rover's rear in a 12-hour view toward the Gale Basin floor. Several factors caused several artifacts in the image, including a black spot, the sun's distorted appearance, and rows of white pixels extending from the sun. NASA/JPL-Caltech

This end-of-life phase of red giant stars is relatively short, and the celestial structures that form around them are rare, so the Tobi Pitcher Nebula is an excellent example of a case study in the evolution of a star

Forecasting dust storms is a complicated matter. A new study was able to predict storms in our region with a high level of accuracy - and thereby outline how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to understand processes in the atmosphere
