Anthropologists at Dartmouth College, studying the fossil record of primates and early humans, along with the effects of play on child development, found that risk-taking play boosts confidence, internal motivation and risk assessment. Thrill-seeking play confers physical benefits like better dexterity, skeletal muscle development, and physical awareness, all benefits that last into adulthood.

The persistent process of erosion is powerful enough to cause the world’s most intimidating mountain range to rise slowly up out of the mantle, growing in elevation each year. GPS stations and satellite monitoring have measured an acceleration in uplift at Mount Everest and its neighboring peaks, which are growing 2 mm per year. The study published September 30 in Nature Geoscience estimated that Mount Everest has grown between 50 to 150 feet over the last 89,000 years.

A trained AI model scanned aerial photos of the entire Nazca Pampa region and surrounding deserts, ~50 km inland on the southern coast of Peru, nearly doubling the number of previously known geoglyph artifacts in only six months. Once AI tagged a potential geoglyph, archaeologists spent over 2,600 hours in the field inspecting, mapping, and using drone photography to validate the geoglyph as a discovery.

The heart of Greenland has recently been green. A two-mile-deep ice core from the very center of Greenland’s ice sheet in Summit, Greenland, produced a fossil assemblage containing an insect’s compound eye, an arctic poppy seed, willow wood matter, fungi, and spike moss. The discovery, made by scientists at the University of Vermont, supports a previously controversial hypothesis that Greenland has not been frozen solid for millions of years.

In 2019, NASA’s ICON mission sent a 600-pound toddler-sized spacecraft 360 miles off the ground and into the ionosphere, the poorly understood uppermost stratum of the atmosphere. ICON beamed back a steady stream of scientific breakthroughs, critical data, and stunning imagery of the glowing interface between Earth and space.
