Scientists discovered the tiny filaments and tubes formed by bacteria on the shores of Canada’s Hudson Bay.. *Star clusters discovery could upset the astronomical applecart Astronomers have discovered multiple generations of stars in a single star cluster. The discovery adds to a growing body of evidence that not all the stars in a single cluster were formed at the same time. *New joint mission to Venus Scientists from NASA are meeting with their Russian counterparts to develop plans for a joint mission the Venus. The IKI Venera-D mission -- slated for launch around 2025 on either a Russian Proton or Angara rocket -- will include both an orbiter and a special hardened lander capable of surviving on the planet’s hostile surface for at least a few hours. *New climate change satellite launched Arianespace has successfully launched the Sentinel-2B Earth observation satellite to monitor the rapidly worsening changes being caused by global warming. The spectacular night launch mission blasted into orbit aboard a Vega rocket from the European Space Agency’s Kourou Space Port in French Guiana.
