The classroom legacy of Kepler focuses on the improvements he made to the telescope and his laws of planetary motion.

They stop singing, thinking night has somehow come. “During a total solar eclipse, the disk of the moon blocks out the last sliver of light from the sun, and the sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, becomes visible,” reports Space.com. “The corona is far from an indistinct haze; skywatchers report seeing…

Locals have heard ‘booms from the underworld’ in a giant ravine but now scientists say it holds secrets of the planet’s past. Many Yakutian people are said to be scared to approach the Batagaika Crater – also known as the Batagaika Megaslump: believing in the upper, middle and under worlds, they see this as a doorway to the last of these. The fearsome noises are probably just the thuds of falling soil at a landmark that is a one-kilometre-long gash up to 100 metres (328 feet) deep in the Siberian taiga. Batagaika started to form in 1960s after a chunk…

Dads usually teach zebra finches their songs. (Image credit: Shutterstock) Zebra finches usually learn to sing from their fathers. But now, scientists have taught the little birds to memorize a tune without ever learning it — and they did so by implanting memories of the songs in the birds’ brains. This strange experiment was designed to discover the brain pathways that encode note duration in the birds. Ultimately, the point is to draw parallels with how humans learn to speak. Hopefully, the research will help scientists target genes and neurons to improve language learning in people with autism and other conditions that affect vocalization.…
