A 400-Year-Old Shark Helps Reveal the Secrets ...

With an estimated lifespan of 400 years, the Greenland shark has just been reported to be the longest-lived vertebrate on the planet. This is only the latest of a series of recent findings that push the boundaries of animal longevity, and it raises the perennial question of what factors enable some animals to achieve what we might call extreme longevity – lifespans that can be measured in centuries.

There are few places in the Solar System which are as fascinating as Saturn’s moon Titan. It’s a world with a thicker atmosphere than Earth. Where it’s so cold that it rains ammonia, forming lakes, rivers and seas. Where water ice forms mountains.

Ancient giant octopuses may have been smarter, bigger, and fiercer than expected
Environment & Biology

Modern octopuses are known as escape artists of the sea, soft-bodied, elusive, and almost impossible to pin down. But a new fossil discovery is challenging that familiar image. Hidden inside ancient rocks, scientists have found rare clues that suggest the early story of octopuses may have been far more dramatic than anyone expected.

Planetary rovers may seem like bold explorers, but in reality they work under tight limits. On Mars, even simple instructions take minutes to arrive, so every move must be planned carefully. That keeps missions safe, but it also raises a question: if robots move slowly and stop often, how much of another world can we really study?
