Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying there summer so far 🌞
- Today’s Science in the News includes Jupiter’s energy crisis… in the article it quotes how “Astronomers have created a detailed global map of the gas giant's upper atmosphere, confirming that Jupiter's powerful aurorae are responsible for delivering planet-wide heating!”
- “There has been a very long-standing puzzle in the thin atmosphere at the top of every Giant Planet within our solar system. With every Jupiter space mission, along with ground-based observations, over the past 50 years, we have consistently measured the equatorial temperatures as being much too hot”
- This energy crises has puzzled scientist for decades, and now it seems they have found the answer they have been looking for!

Happy Thursday everyone and today we have another science in the news! 🗞
- This science in the news post was found on sciencedaily.com with BATS being the topic of interest 🦇!!
- These Egyptian Fruit Bats have been studied by neuroscientists at Berkeley where they actually found clues to mammalian navigation by taking a closer look at there brains!!
- Through this process they were able to uncover “that neural activity in the bats' hippocampuses more strongly represented future locations than current locations”
- One of the most interesting aspects of this study is that “because the hippocampus is also a locus of many diseases, such as Alzheimer's, where a person's sense of location and memory is often disrupted, uncovering these basic neural computations could also give scientists a better understanding of disease-related impairment and help them devise more effective treatments”
- Surely an interesting read! & here is the link ➡️ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/07/210708143856.htm
- Have a great day everyone!! 🦇😀

Happy Monday everyone! Today’s science in the news features a short and interesting read about our aquatic life!
- In this article “Tiny crystals give a plain fish twinkling, colorful dots under light”
- Susan Milius author of this article written on the sciencenews.org describes that “puzzling fish twinkles from wide-banded hardyhead silversides might lead to ultra-tiny sensors”
- With this light shining onto the water, it actually presents a beautiful display of colors being: blue, yellow, blue, yellow!
- it’s mentioned in the article that, “For fish that live in bright light and near the surface, as do silversides, the reflectivity probably serves as a type of camouflage or distraction from predators lurking or striking from below”
- Check out this article at the link right here for more in depth information! https://www.sciencenews.org/article/hardyhead-silverside-fish-crystals-colorful-dots
- Have a great Monday everyone!’

Today’s includes a short read on an article that can provide you with tips during this summer-time
- This article includes 7 tricks to keeping cool this summer without AC!!
- The first tip includes - ceiling fans & how they could potentially be your best friend this summer without AC ... but be sure that the fan is set to a counter-clockwise direction; this allows them to draw cooler air up from the floor!!
- Another tip for keeping cool with no AC would be to try and do your cooking outdoors rather than in the household. For example, if you own an outdoor grill this is a perfect way to keep the heat out from your house. Cooking dinner indoors in the summer time without an air conditioner allows for the heat from the oven to expand through the indoors!
- This article provides a couple more tips/life hacks that could surely be helpful to beat this summer time heat! Be sure to check it out right here: https://www.bobvila.com/slideshow/7-tricks-for-keeping-cool-without-ac-48955
- Have a great Wednesday everyone!! 😁🥳
