June 12 - Life in Other Universes

June 12 Life in Other Universes by:

The strange case for life in other universes​​ More about the mind-boggling new studies suggesting that there could be many parallel universes beyond our own, where life is able to flourish. The June new moon is a supermoon​​ Wednesday's new moon is the 1st in a series of 3 new moon supermoons. The other 2 will fall on July 13 and August 11. See the image and caption below. Coyotes in the park​​ Coyotes are the most famous of the wild animal species that have returned to North American cities and towns in recent years. Encountering them can be unnerving. From pulsar to magnetar? Or vice versa?​​ Since the 1970s, scientists have treated pulsars and magnetars as 2 distinct populations of objects. Now they think they might be stages in a single object's evolution. A new NASA ScienceCast has more.

The June new moon is a supermoon​ You can't see a new supermoon. It travels across the sky with the sun during the day. But Earth's oceans will feel it. Around each new moon (left) and full moon (right) – when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned – the range between high and low tides is greatest. A supermoon – new or full moon at its closest to Earth – accentuates these spring tides. Image via PhysicalGeography.net.​
