This shrimp has some of the fastest eyes on the planet | Science | AAAS
Though not much bigger than a wooden match stick, snapping shrimp ( Alpheus heterochaelis , pictured) are already famous for their loud, quick closing claws , the sound of which stuns their prey and rivals. Now, researchers have discovered these marine crustaceans have the eyesight to match this speed.
That's one of the highest refresh rates of any animal on Earth. Pigeons come close, being able to sample their field of view 143 times per second, whereas humans top out at a relatively measly 60 times a second. Only some day-flying insects beat the snapping shrimp, the researchers report. As a result, what people—perhaps even Superman—and all other vertebrates see as a blur, the shrimp detects as discrete images moving across its field of vision.
Planets Form in Just a Few Hundred Thousand Years - Universe Today
Astronomers like to observe young planets forming in circumstellar debris disks, the rotating rings of material around young stars. But when they measure the amount of material in those disks, they don’t contain enough material to form large planets. That discrepancy has puzzled astronomers.

It all starts with a star, which forms in a giant molecular cloud. When a star forms, left-over material forms a rotating disk around the star called the circumstellar disk. Planets form from the material in that disk and orbit the star.

Scientists show this one type of planet is more likely to have aliens
Billions of years after the Big Bang that theoretically birthed our universe, planets began to form from a swirl of gas, dust, and rock with our own home planet coming into existence around 4.5 billion years ago.
The research was presented at the Goldschmidt Conference , an international conference on geochemistry, held on June 21-16.
The team behind the new research ran hundreds of simulations using the Australian National Computing Infrastructure to observe how the interior of planets develops over time.
NASA video shows what sunsets look like on other planets in our solar system
One of the ways to observe the beauty of the world is to watch as the Sun slowly sets in the west, creating a mirage of colors in the sky. Now, imagine if you were observing that same sunset while sitting on Saturn or Venus or Mars.

Geronimo Villanueva , a planetary scientist from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, created the Sunset simulator which shows what the magic hour would look like from the dusty Martian world, or how a closer view of the sun setting would appear on Venus.
Are planets with oceans common in the galaxy? It's likely, scientists find -- ScienceDaily
Quick, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, decided to explore whether -- hypothetically -- there are planets similar to Europa and Enceladus in the Milky Way galaxy. And, could they, too, be geologically active enough to shoot plumes through their surfaces that could one day be detected by telescopes.
Through a mathematical analysis of several dozen exoplanets, including planets in the nearby TRAPPIST-1 system, Quick and her colleagues learned something significant: More than a quarter of the exoplanets they studied could be ocean worlds, with a majority possibly harboring oceans beneath layers of surface ice, similar to Europa and Enceladus. Additionally, many of these planets could be releasing more energy than Europa and Enceladus.
