| | | | | | | | Earth's Trojan asteroid | Trojan asteroids are small bodies that can stably share the orbit of a planet if they remain near 'triangular points' 60° ahead of or behind it in its orbit. Jupiter has thousands and now we know that Earth has one too. | | | | | | | | | Carbon loss from an unprecedented Arctic tundra wildfire | In 2007 over 1,000 square kilometres of Alaskan tundra was destroyed by fire, releasing 2.1 teragrams of carbon into the atmosphere. Tundra fires are expected to increase as the climate warms, so combustion of 'old growth' tundra soil could constitute a positive climate feedback, accelerating the thaw and decomposition of deeper permafrost carbon. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this week's podcast: we learn how to rescue old monkeys from memory loss, hear how a new fossil is ruffling feathers in the bird family tree, and find out why we're hanging up on the aliens. Plus, the best of the rest from this week's Nature. | | | | | | |
