“We have a strong indication that the uppermost 2,480 meters contain a climate record that goes back to 1.2 million years in a high-resolution record where up to 13,000 years are compressed into one meter of ice,” Julien Westhoff from Copenhagen University said in a press statement.
China has announced plans to build a giant solar power space station, which will be lifted into orbit piece by piece using the nation's brand-new heavy lift rockets.
Three-million-year-old tools found in Kenya reveal early humans' ability to cut food, butcher meat, and adapt to new diets.
Kluivert's second and third goals were self-inflicted as Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon lost possession in the build-up, before Milos Kerkez rubbed further salt into the Magpies' wounds in second-half stoppage time.
