We Ultimately Know When Our Milky Way Will Crash Into the Andromeda Galaxy

Our Galaxy galaxy will undoubtedly endure in its present kind of bit longer than some astronomers had believed, a new research study suggests. A view of the Andromeda galaxy, also known as M31, with measurements of the motions of stars within the galaxy. This spiral galaxy is the nearest large neighbor of our Milky Way. (Image...

Just a Few Usual Bacteria Account for Most of the Carbon Use in Soil

Bacterial “miners” shown in relief working to process soil nutrients, some more efficiently than others. Bradyrhizobium, one of the three top nutrient processors identified in the study, is shown here consolidating its control of carbon from a glucose addition, processing the nutrients with industrial efficiency (in the form of a bucket wheel excavator).
