🌘Subscribe to 404 Media to get The Abstract, our newsletter about the most exciting and mind-boggling science news and studies of the week. For nine days in September 2023, the world was rocked by mysterious seismic waves that were detected globally every 90 seconds. Earth trembled again the following month with an identical global signal, though it was shorter and less intense.

Welcome back to the Abstract! This week, scientists accidentally discovered a weird thing in space that is like nothing we have ever seen before. This happens a lot, yet never seems to get old. Then, a shark banquet, the Ladies Anuran Choir, and yet another reason to side-eye shiftwork. Last, a story about the importance of finishing touches for all life on Earth (and elsewhere). Dead Stars Still Get HypedWang, Ziteng et al.

Adolescence can be rife with anxieties and challenges, but today’s youth face unique threats on a scale encountered by no previous generation, according to an exhaustive new report on their health and wellbeing. More than one billion people aged 10 to 24 are at risk of poor health outcomes by 2030, which is at least half the global adolescent population, concluded the report published on Tuesday in the Lancet, a leading medical journal.

Welcome back to the Abstract! I’m trying out something a little different this week: Instead of rounding up four studies per usual, I’m going deep on one lead study followed by a bunch of shorter tidbits. I’m hoping this shift will make for a more streamlined read and also bring a bit more topic diversity into the column. With that said, wild horses couldn’t drag me from the main story this week (it’s about wild horses).
