Rare, 'high-status' Viking burial unearthed in a garden in Oslo

science

"In Norway, cloak brooches like these are almost always discovered in presumed man's graves," said Ann Zanette Tsigaridas Glørstad (opens in new tab), a curator at the University of Oslo's Museum of Cultural History who is analyzing the artifacts. "The cloak brooch in this grave is unique in that it has preserved an unusually long pin, around 20 cm [centimeters, or 7.9 inches], which means that it must have been a rather prominent part of the costume of the deceased," Tsigaridas Glørstad told Live Science in an email.

Twin black holes caught chowing down on the leftovers of a galaxy merger

science

Researchers reported the finding Jan. 9 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters (opens in new tab) and at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society, held in Seattle. They found the destructive duo in UGC 4211, a galaxy 500 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer, which is the result of two separate galaxies merging. UGC 4211 is in the last stages of this merger; one day, our own Milky Way galaxy will undergo a similar collision with the nearby Andromeda galaxy.

Utah's Great Salt Lake is on the verge of collapse, and could expose millions to arsenic laced dust

science

The urgent warning, issued in a Jan. 4 report by a team of 32 ecologists and conservationists, says that the lake has lost 73% of its water and 60% of its surface area since 1850 and is facing "unprecedented danger." Without emergency measures to add an additional 326 billion gallons (1,234 billion liters) of water to the lake in the next two years, or enough water to fill nearly 500,000 Olympic-size swimming pools, it could pass the point of no return as soon as 2024.

UV radiation pulse played a role in a mass extinction event, fossilized pollen reveals

science

Pollen that dates to the time of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event, roughly 250 million years ago, produced "sunscreen" compounds that shielded against harmful UV-B radiation, the analysis found. At that time, approximately 80% of all marine and terrestrial species died off.

Ancient bird with T. rex-like skull discovered in China

science

About 120 million years ago, a fearsome bird with a skull that looked eerily similar to that of a Tyrannosaurus rex flew the early Cretaceous skies, hunting for a meaty meal to gobble down, a new study finds. A newly described specimen of this previously unknown species provides clues about how birds began to finalize their evolutionary divergence from the rest of the dinosaurs.

Rare, 'rule-breaking' quasicrystal found in chunk of 'fossilized' lightning

science

Quasicrystals are materials that break the traditional rules of crystallography. Before they were first reported in 1984, scientists thought materials could either be crystalline — with symmetrical, repeating patterns — or amorphous, meaning randomly arranged and disordered. In addition, scientists believed crystals could only be symmetrical a limited number of times when rotated around an axis — two, three, four or six times.
