Sci-Tech News Vol. 2

Hi all,

Here is my second sci-tech news roundup post!

Let's dive into some really cool things I've found in science and technology news recently!

Space News

The world's highest elevation observatory just opened in the Atacama desert! (Yes, the one whose name I'm using for the title of my thriller/horror out next year, but it's a real and fascinating place.) Read about this new observatory.

The magnificent Horsehead Nebula has been captured in a unique way with marvelous details. Have a look!

Night sky viewing for May might just be a great idea for your spring plans. Read about what's happening above us.

How atmospheric! We've confirmed an exoplanet's atmosphere for the first time. But don't pack your beach gear just yet. Learn more about this other world.

We've never seen as much detail about the lunar surface as this wonderful Moon map shows. Have a look!

Nature News

Spring migration is still happening for birds! You can keep an eye on their movements with this great Migration Dashboard.

We've got a new bee species! New to us, anyway. What's the buzz? Find out here.

We aren't the only species practicing medicine. Read how orangutans treat their wounds!

You may or may not know, but I'm a bit of a bird nerd. And living in L.A., I have so many wonderful birds to observe all the time. Several species of wild parrots now call the area their home, much like I do. Learn about the parrots and how scientists hope to gather data about them!

Archaeology News

If you are fascinated by ancient shipwrecks AND food, I found the story for you. Read about this shipwreck, what it was carrying, and how scientists unveiled it all.

Tech News

Autonomous cars are not quite ready for prime time, but maybe they're ready for primer. Read this fascinating article about special paint being developed to increase the visibility of autonomous cars.

And that's this week's Sci-Tech News from me to you! If you enjoyed this, I hope you'll subscribe to my newsletter, which also features my personal author news, weekly updates, occasional writing insights and reflections, and more.
