Like many species of long-lived social mammals, killer whales appear to mourn the loss of their offspring. This adult female, L72, one of the endangered "southern resident" killer whales, was seen with a dead calf off San Juan Island in September 2010, during one of our cooperative field projects with the Northwest Fisheries Science Center. Information on this observation was included in a recently published paper in the Journal of Mammalogy by Melissa Reggente and others, reviewing nurturant behavior towards dead individuals in a number of species of toothed whales and dolphins. The orange coloration of the calf in this photo is indicative of a newborn. During the encounter L72 would carry the calf on her rostrum; the next day when she was seen the newborn was not present.

The study compiled observations from 14 events, and seven different marine mammals ranging from killer whales to spinner dolphins.

Fireworks shows are not just confined to Earth?s skies. NASA?s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular fireworks display in a small, nearby galaxy, which resembles a July 4th skyrocket. A firestorm of star birth is lighting up one end of the diminutive galaxy Kiso 5639. The dwarf galaxy is shaped like a flattened pancake, but because it is tilted edge-on, it resembles a skyrocket, with a brilliant blazing head and a long, star-studded tail. Kiso 5639 is a rare, nearby example of elongated galaxies that occur in abundance at larger distances, where we observe the universe during earlier epochs. Astronomers suggest that the frenzied star birth is sparked by intergalactic gas raining on one end of the galaxy as it drifts through space. ?I think Kiso 5639 is a beautiful, up-close example of what must have been common long ago,? said lead researcher Debra Elmegreen of Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, New York. ?The current thinking is that galaxies in the early universe grow f

This color view from NASA's Juno spacecraft is made from some of the first images taken by JunoCam after the spacecraft entered orbit around Jupiter on July 5th (UTC). The view shows that JunoCam survived its first pass through Jupiter's extreme radiation environment, and is ready to collect images of the giant planet as Juno begins its mission. The image was taken on July 10, 2016 at 5:30 UTC, when the spacecraft was 2.7 million miles (4.3 million kilometers) from Jupiter on the outbound leg of its initial 53.5-day capture orbit. The image shows atmospheric features on Jupiter, including the Great Red Spot, and three of Jupiter's four largest moons. JunoCam will continue to image Jupiter during Juno's capture orbits. The first high-resolution images of the planet will be taken on August 27 when the Juno spacecraft makes its next close pass to Jupiter.

BRAIN-JACKED LOCUSTS COULD BE THE NEXT BOMB DETECTORS The cutting edge of bomb detection technology may soon be a bug wearing a backpack. A team of engineers from Washington University in St. Louis is developing cyborg locusts that will be flown via remote control into hazardous areas, use their antennae to sniff for explosive chemicals, and send wireless alerts when they find them. The project is funded by the Office of Naval Research and is led by associate professor of biomedical engineering, Baranidharan Raman, who has spent years studying how locusts process smell. Raman says that human-engineered sensing devices are pretty basic compared to animal noses designed by mother nature. ?Why reinvent the wheel?" Raman said in a statement. "Why not take advantage of the biological solution?? To create these biorobotic bugs, Raman tells Popular Science he and his colleagues plan to integrate three far-out sounding technologies. First, they've got to steer the locust into the right spot
