The world's longest commercial airline flight covers more than 8,800 miles and lasts more than 17 hours. That's a dreadfully long time -- especially if you're flying coach and you forgot to bring your noise-canceling headphones. But a flight like that is nothing for the great frigatebird. This remarkable seabird (Fregata minor) can stay aloft for weeks on end, covering hundreds of miles a day and eating and sleeping on the wing.

Plants, they’re just like us. Or at least enough like us that they can still judge risk and make good decisions even though they happen to have a few handicaps that we don’t. We’ve long known that plants are smarter than we think. After all, they probably have memories, even though they don’t have neurons. And now researchers think they can develop the best strategy to help them grow even though, yes, they don’t have brains. In a paper published this week in Current Biology, researchers divid..>> view originalJuno spacecraft getting close to Jupiter

In this year’s romantic summer dusks, the mark in the sky to remember them by is the changing triangle of Mars, Saturn, and the star Antares.Mars remains the brightest thing shining in the south through July and August. It’s the color of a distant celestial campfire. Advertisement Far left of it now are Saturn, pale yellow-white, and the orange supergiant star Antares: another, fainter campfire.
