*"Weird Cyclones on Jupiter Form Geometric Shapes — But Why? "We found
something completely new that we did not observe before on other planets,"
study lead author Alberto Adriani, a planetary scientist at the Institute of
Astrophysics and Space Planetology in Rome, told Space.com.
These cyclones all lasted for at least seven months. In each cluster, the cyclones
were close enough to each other to essentially be in contact.
In this composite image, derived from data collected by the Jovian Infrared
Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard NASA’s Juno Jupiter orbiter, shows
the central cyclone at the planet’s north pole and the eight cyclones that encircle
it.

*"An Electro-Blob Under Africa May Be 'Ground Zero' for Earth's Magnetic Field
Reversal. New research using clays burned in cleansing rituals by Iron Age
farmers finds that over the past 1,500 years, an electromagnetic anomaly in the
Southern Hemisphere has waxed and waned, with the magnetic field in the
region weakening and strengthening. This weirdness may presage a gradual
reversal in the magnetic field, so that magnetic north moves to the South Pole
and vice versa. (A flip-flop of this sort last occurred 780,000 years ago.)"

burnt their clay huts and grain storage buildings in times of drought as part of a

*"'Handyman of Proteins' Got Life on Earth Started. Origins-of-life researchers
have put forward many ideas about how tiny, unpolished primordial proteins
might have managed to carry out all the functions that life requires, but there is
no clear consensus on what the first proteins looked like. While most modern
proteins are rigid, specialist molecules with complex structures, these
hypothetical early proteins would have been more flexible, but less efficient and
precise, Pohorille (Andrew Pohorille, senior astrobiologist at the NASA Ames
Research Center), argues.
"These were the handymen of proteins," Pohorille says. "In the beginning
evolution did not require the high level of precision that we have now."
