Scientists: neatly mown lawn is a biological desert

Research confirms that closely mown lawns destroy biodiversity and accelerate soil water loss, effectively creating a biological desert. Despite ongoing droughts and heatwaves, the trend for closely cropped grass remains popular. Scientists advocate mowing less frequently and allowing natural vegetation to grow for the sake of local ecosystems.

Should regular lawn mowing be abandoned in favour of biodiversity?

Mystery repeating radio signals from ASKAP J1745 traced to binary star system

Astronomers have made a major step toward explaining mysterious, repeating radio signals by identifying the source ASKAP J1745 as located within a binary star system. The rhythm of the emissions is tied to the mutual orbit of the two strongly interacting stars. The finding could shed light on the origin of other similar long-period radio sources detected by radio telescopes.

Will the discovery of ASKAP J1745's origin solve the mystery of repeating cosmic radio signals?
