Every bird has some dinosaur form, shows study
All baby birds have a moment prior to hatching when their hip bone is a tiny replica of a dinosaur’s pelvis. That’s one of the...
Astronomers find origins of mysterious gamma-ray bursts
Several mysterious gamma-ray bursts appear as lonely flashes of intense energy far from any obvious galactic home, raising questions about their true origins and...
