Why we still have brutal cold snaps even as the planet warms to record levels
As unprecedented heat makes way for cold, it can provide fuel for climate-change deniers who point to freezing temperatures as evidence that global warming is overstated.
...
Some scientists say that climate change may even be playing a role in these icy blasts, as warming in the Arctic increases the likelihood that frigid, polar air can sweep southwards.
...
Some scientists believe polar vortex disruptions and changes to the jet stream are being driven by warming in the Arctic, which is heating up around four times faster than the rest of the planet.
...
As scientists work to unravel complex links between climate change and periods of intense cold, all agree on one thing: the trend is for warmer winters.

See Uranus' rings in stunning new image from the Webb telescope | CNN
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new stunning image of ice giant Uranus, with almost all its faint dusty rings on display.
The image is representative of the telescope's significant sensitivity, NASA said, as the fainter rings have only been captured previously by the Voyager 2 spacecraft and the W.M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea in Hawaii.
...
The ring system of a planet tells us a lot about its origins and formation, said Dr. Naomi Rowe-Gurney, a postdoctoral research scientist and solar system ambassador for the Webb space telescope at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, via email.
...
The NASA Hubble Space Telescope had also captured Uranus' bright white polar cap in November, illuminating the growing brightness of the haze when observed in comparison with images from prior years.

This dinosaur might have used its feet to snag prey in midair like modern hawks
Modern birds evolved from dinosaurs, but it's not clear how well birds' ancient dino ancestors could fly ( SN: 10/28/16).Now, a look at the fossilized feet of one nonavian dinosaur suggests that it may have hunted on the wing, like some hawks today.
...
But if the claim holds up, such a hunting style would reinforce a debated hypothesis that powered flight evolved multiple times among dinosaurs, a feat once attributed solely to birds.
