The youngest-ever specimen of Mosasaurs reveals that they resembled killer whales when it comes to prey. All the fans of the movie ‘Jurassic World’ could easily relate to Mosasaurs, an enormous marine reptile that lived more than 65 million years ago. Orcas offer the most suitable option to understand this massive creature following a number…
A humble doorstop in Michigan is worth US$ 100,000. A solid piece of debris from an asteroid, comet, or a meteoroid, which originates in outer space and manages to reach the surface of a planet or moon is called a Meteorite. The hostile conditions of the atmosphere heat it up during its journey and the…
RainCube could lead to some accurate forecasts by improving the weather models.
