The brown hare serving as a model for the Easter bunny gets a lot of attention these days. But even away from Easter, we should not ignore the animal with the spoon ears, because its stocks have broken down sharply in many places since the 1960s. However, the results of a new count of the German Hunting Association now give hope. As early as the 17th century, the field hare in Germany was considered an Easter egg bearer.

Andromedagalaxy is one of the next neighboring galaxies of our Milky Way. Like this, it is surrounded by an entire “court” of smaller dwarf galaxies. But the distribution of these Andromeda companions gives up astronomers. Because of the 37 dwarf galaxies of our neighbor, almost 80 percent frolic on only one side of Andromedagalaxy. This strong asymmetry can only be found in the universe in 0.3 percent of all comparable galaxy systems, as the astronomers found.

The Internet and social media are a double -edged sword for democracy: On the one hand, they simplify access to information and political participation. On the other hand, however, they often have a polarizing effect and reinforce social division, contribute to a dwindling confidence in the state, facilitate the spread of false information and promote populist currents. As early as 2023, a study recorded worrying effects on democracy. A current study has now confirmed these results.

Neutrinos are important elementary particles for our cosmology. However, some basic questions about these particles are still unclear – including their exact mass. Now physicists have managed to further narrow down the upper limit for the Neutrinomasse at the Katrin experiment in Karlsruhe. On the basis of the energies measured by the tritium, they determined that the neutrino has to weigh less than 0.45 electron volts – this is less than a millionth of the mass of an electron.
