Hektoria Glacier, the worst affected, has quadrupled its sliding speed and lost 25 kilometers of ice off its front in just 16 months, scientists say. The rapid retreat “is really unheard of,” says Mathieu Morlighem, a glaciologist at Dartmouth College who was…
Here are some astounding scientific firsts of 2023

Invisible comet tails of mucus slow sinking flakes of ‘marine snow’
WASHINGTON — Tiny, sinking flakes of detritus in the ocean fall more slowly thanks to the goop that surrounds each flake, new observations reveal. The invisible mucus makes “comet tails” that surround each flake, physicist Rahul Chajwa of Stanford University reported November 19 at the American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting. Those mucus…

We may have found a crater on Jupiter’s moon Io for the first time
This may be the first impact crater spotted on Io NASA/JPL-Caltech/Kevin M. Gill, CC BY 2.0 An amateur astronomer may have found the first crater ever spotted on Jupiter’s moon Io. Io is so volcanically active that eruptions tend to wipe away any impact craters, so we have never seen one until now. Jesper Sandberg,…
