Never mind the trickling stream that NASA's Curiosity rover spotted on Mars near Mount Sharp, young upstart Perseverance has found proof of water that flowed faster and at greater depths than previous evidence indicated.Rather than the downhill streams photographed by Curiosity earlier this year, researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory overseeing the Perseverance mission said the coarse sediment grains and cobbles found by their rover in the Jezero Crater point to much more powerful water flows than ever suspected on Mars.

The songs on Meshell Ndegeocello's magnificent new album, The Omnichord Real Book, are always in flux.In its seven-and-half minutes, ASR hints at fusion jazz, Funkadelic, Ethiopian pop, reggae and psychedelia; the guitarist Jeff Parker, from Tortoise, teases the music forward.As the song accelerates, Ndegeocello sings about pain, heartbreak, healing and perseverance, and she vows, We're here to set the clock to here and now.

Signing the sharp-shooting guard who averages 2.8 points per game in her WNBA career was one of the best decisions Shannon Seebohm has ever made.It's because to the four-year head coach of Australia's Townsville Fire, Karlie Samuelson 's impact shouldn't be measured in the points she scores, but instead the three championship trophies she raised in as many seasons.

If your apartment-dwelling Australian Shepard or Border Collie is destroying your shoes and nipping at your toddler's heels, it's not just because he's a herding dog, according to new research from the University of Helsinki in Finland.To finally put to rest the age-old myth that all dogs of a certain breed display the same character traits - like all pit bulls are aggressive man-eaters or dachshunds are super chill family dogs because of their breed - the research team examined data collected from more than 11,500 dogs to determine if members of the same breed all show the same personality characteristics.

The Miami Heat like to talk about doing things the hard way, but a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals might be too much for even them to overcome.Having entered Friday night's Game 4 trailing in a series for the first time these playoffs, the Heat faced the possibility of losing and going down by a daunting margin.

A few days ago, there was a marathon in my city.I entertained the possibility of participating - so much so that the day before the race, in the final moments before registration closed, I sat in my car, imagining it: where I would park my car on race morning, the lacing of my shoes, the first few miles (which I would inevitably take out too hard), and the moments of concern about mounting fatigue that would pelt me like fiery darts at some point along my journey.

Exactly a dozen years ago, were you one of the lucky 40,315 fans in a sold-out Nationals Park to witness the "debut"?Is there a true Nats fan who could forget June 8, 2010 when Stephen Strasburg made his MLB debut for the Washington Nationals?It wasat near 1.21 gigawatts.Fans stood and cheered for a team that never had a winning season because Strasburg represented winning in the future, and we all know he delivered on that as the World Series MVP in 2019.

With our forlorn sense that politics isn't working and that democracy is broken, as we feel the impacts of both climate change and the decision to leave the European Union in real time, the symbolic answer to our political crisis was always staring us in the face.It was Caroline Lucas, the best prime minister we never had and, now that she is standing down from her Brighton Pavilion seat, we will never get.

The Mars Sample Return Mission is one of the most ambitious missions ever conceived.Though the samples won't be returned to Earth until 2033 at the earliest, the Perseverance Rover is busy collecting them right now.Ideally, Perseverance could gather as many samples as we like and ship them all back to Earth.

Curiosity's younger "sibling," Perseverance, along with its experimental helicopter companion, Ingenuity, has just entered its third year exploring the ancient lake bed and river delta complex in Jezero crater.Since landing in February 2021, the nuclear-powered rover has driven over 9 miles, analyzing rock, soil and atmospheric gasses, and leaving behind a cache of sealed sample tubes for the proposed Mars Sample Return mission to collect and bring back to Earth.

This month's mix of titles leaving Netflix in the United States include two coming-of-age comedy dramas, a twisty thriller throwback, a wrenching Holocaust documentary and two uproarious comedies (one of them smuggled into an animated family film).Give them a stream before they're gone.(Dates reflect the last day a title is available.)

Art is linear, and so artificial intelligence cannot create art.This is a controversial opinion among the kinds of people who care about both art and AI, so let me explain.Art is a concept that describes two things.There is the obvious, material thing which is a piece of art.A canvas with paint on it.

Today's first-time homebuyers are not only faced with higher interest rates, but the amount they need for a down payment is making for significant challenges, even right here in the Bay State.Massachusetts first-time homebuyers have the fifth-highest down payment in the nation, according to a new report from Moneywise.

Spring is here, and menus are changing.Asparagus, fava beans, English peas, spring onions, ramps, tender spring lettuces, and the freshest beets, radishes and scapes are taking over for their brief time at center stage on restaurant menus.Whether pickled, raw, roasted, marinated, fried, pureed or grilled, the flavors come through clean and bright.
