Wednesday was a mixed day for the stock market. Broad-based market benchmarks like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posted modest gains, but the Dow Jones Industrials finished the day with a modest loss of 36 points. Many investors appear to be waiting for confirmation about the success or failure of the new presidential administration's economic policies, and earnings season hasn't provided a clear direction for the overall market.

Researchers have discovered a new cave in Israel that they say once held Dead Sea Scrolls, making it just the 12th such cave of its kind found. The find is thus a milestone, according to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The cave was looted long before the archeologists excavated it, but inside they found telltale signs that scrolls had been there: broken storage jars and lids on its edges and in a tunnel in the back. "This exciting excavation is the closest we’ve come to discovering new Dead..>> view originalEPA officials yanked from Alaska event as Trump team weighs in
(c) 2017, Bloomberg. Just three days before this week's environment conference in Alaska, the top Environmental Protection Agency official in Anchorage called the organizer with some news: The agency had been instructed by the White House to slash the number of EPA staffers who could attend.

This weekend, conservative media outlets launched an attack on climate scientists with a manufactured scandal. The fake news originated from an accusation made by former NOAA scientist John Bates about a 2015 paper by some of his NOAA colleagues. The technical term to describe the accusation is ‘a giant nothingburger,’ as Bates clarified in an interview with E&E News: The issue here is not an issue of tampering with data, but rather really of timing of a release of a paper that had not p..>> view originalNewly Discovered Gecko's Giant Breakaway Scales Help It Flee Predators

February 8, 2017 —How did the moon form? Scientists base their models largely on data from moon rocks and meteorites. But those just provide momentary snapshots, not geological processes in action. To test their models, scientists need to figure out just how, and under what conditions, those rocks may have formed. And one team may have just found a new way of thinking about lunar formation.Moon-building happens on a massive scale, so "we were looking for an analogue that was large-scale enough ..>> view originalCrack in an Antarctic ice shelf grew 17 miles in 2 months
A rapidly advancing crack in Antarctica’s fourth-largest ice shelf has scientists concerned it is getting close to a full break. The rift has accelerated this year in an area already vulnerable to warming temperatures. Since December, the crack has grown by the length of about five football fields each day. The crack in Larsen C now reaches over 100 miles in length, and some parts of it are as wide as 2 miles. The tip of the rift is currently only about 20 miles from reaching the other end of..>> view originalFebruary Full Moon 2017: When to See the 'Snow Moon' Eclipse
February's Snow Moon will be no ordinary full moon for skywatchers in most parts of the world, as it coincides with a special lunar eclipse that will cast a shadow over the full moon's usual bright, glowing face. On Friday (Feb. 10), just 10 minutes after the full moon peaks, so will a penumbral lunar eclipse. The moon will spend more than 4 hours coasting through Earth's outer shadow, called the penumbra, and it will appear darker than normal. While penumbral eclipses can be difficu..>> view original
