Urban landscapes can boost storms—or break them up New work shows how different storm types are shifted by cities’ microclimates By Damien Pine edited by Sarah Lewin Frasier Concrete jungles create their own rain, and make it go away, all without relying on a single nursery rhyme. A recent study of 40,000 storms producing heavy rainfall in four Texas cities revealed that urban landscapes affect different storm types in different ways, helping to explain why cities sometimes generate more rainfal
La Brea Tar Pits disgorge rare ice age toad (opens the original)

This marks only the second extinct ice age amphibian found in North America—and it gives researchers vital information about the ancient climate By Damien Pine edited by Sarah Lewin Frasier At the beginning of the end of the last ice age, when the future site of Los Angeles was still a cold, wet forest roamed by mammoths, horses and camels, a toad made a bad decision. It hopped into a bubbling pool of tar, where its fragile bones were preserved for researchers to find roughly 45,000 years later,
Rare double supernova discovered hiding in Jellyfish Nebula (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Jellyfish Nebula has been hiding a big cosmic secret For the first time ever, astronomers have found two sibling stars that each exploded as a supernova, giving us a new view of these epochal cosmic cataclysms For decades, astrophysicists have been puzzling over a mystery hidden in plain view: Most supernovae come from the biggest stars, and most of our galaxy’s biggest stars are thought to be in multistar systems. Yet no one had ever found two supernovae occurring in a single multistar syst
Something surprisingly sweet lurks near the Milky Way’s heart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scientists spot sugar in interstellar space for the first time ever Erythrulose—a sugar found in raspberries—is also prevalent in a giant molecular cloud close to our galaxy’s core, scientists have discovered Scientists have spotted something sweet at the heart of the Milky Way. Erythrulose, a sugar found in raspberries, kiwis and many red fruits, also apparently exists in a giant molecular cloud of gas and dust near the center of our galaxy, some 26,745 light-years from Earth. This marks the fi
