Researchers Discover Direct Link Between Agricultural Runoff And Massi
Scientists have found the first direct evidence linking large-scale coastal farming to massive blooms of marine algae that are potentially harmful to ocean life and fisheries. Stardust Formed Close To Sun
Samples of the material picked up during the NASA Stardust mission indicate that parts of the comet Wild 2 actually formed in an area close to the sun. Analysis suggests that some of the Stardust grains match a special type of carbonaceous material found in meterorites; hence both must have spent time in the same gas reservoir, which was close to the sun. Two New Mammal Species Discovered In Indonesia's Wilderness

Two of NASA's Great Observatories, the Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes, have teamed up to "weigh"the stars in several distant galaxies. One of these galaxies, among the most distant ever seen, appears to be unusually massive and mature for its place in the young universe. This came as a surprise to astronomers. The earliest galaxies in the universe are commonly thought to have been much smaller associations of stars that gradually merged to build large galaxies like our Milky Way. Behind the Shins
