From Saturns rings heating up the planet, finding water in glass beads from lunar soil samples to finding a new shape find all the latest news, discoveries and findings that happened in the field of science this week...

Astronomers have found that Saturns ring system is heating the planets upper atmosphere..

Glass beads created during violent impacts from space rocks on the lunar surface have been found to have water trapped inside, offering what scientists describe as a potential reservoir of this precious resource for future human activities on the moon..

While analysing lunar soil samples retrieved in 2020 during China's robotic Chang'e-5 mission, scientists found spheres of glass - rock melted and cooled - created during the impacts bore within them water molecules formed through the action of the solar wind on the moon's surface...

Researchers have found three lines of evidence - the skull and jaw anatomy in the group called theropods that encompassed all the meat-eating dinosaurs, the wear patterns of their teeth and the relationship between tooth size to skull size - all indicated the presence of lip-like structures.
