The Gardner Museum robbers are dead, FBI reveals

The shocking revelation comes just one day after the FBI released a new video showing an unidentified man being let into the Boston museum 24 hours before the heist.

Is this where life finally died out on Mars? Salt flats could be the last place water survived on the red planet, study finds 

Salt flat indicates some of the last vestiges of surface water on Mars, CU-Boulder study finds -

Mars turned cold and dry long ago, but researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered evidence of an ancient lake that likely represents some of the last potentially habitable surface water ever to exist on the Red Planet.

The study, published Thursday in the journal Geology, examined an 18-square-mile chloride salt deposit (roughly the size of the city of Boulder) in the planet?s Meridiani region near the Mars Opportunity rover?s landing site. As seen on Earth in locations such as Utah?s Bonneville Salt Flats, large-scale salt deposits are considered to be evidence of evaporated bodies of water.

Digital terrain mapping and mineralogical analysis of the features surrounding the deposit indicate that this one-time lakebed is no older than 3.6 billion years old, well after the time period when Mars is thought to have been warm enough to sustain large amounts of surface

The timebomb under Yellowstone: Experts warn of 90,000 immediate deaths and a 'nuclear winter' if supervolcano erupts

Yellowstone supervolcano eruption would cause 90k deaths and nuclear winter

If it were to erupt, the supervolcano could release a 10 ft (3-meter) layer of molten ash 1,000 miles (1,609km) from Yellowstone National Park, experts have warned. It would be one thousand times as powerful as the 1980 Mount St Helens eruption. The ash would block off points of entry from the ground, and the spread of ash and gases into the atmosphere would stop most air travel, while a haze would drap over the country, causing temperatures to drop. The inset graphic by the United States Geological Survey shows how a 'super eruption' of the molten lava under Yellowstone National Park would spread ash across the United States.
