A tiny T. Rex with typical traits
When you think of Tyrannosaurus rex, you probably imagine a fearsome predator with a large skull and tiny forearms attached to a tremendous body. But, researchers have just unearthed a much smaller version of this prehistoric dinosaur in China, and it's no more than three meters tall.

Kepler and the search for life in our galaxy
There are so many stars in our galaxy that even if planets with complex life (animals and plants) are rare -- say one for every billion stars -- there could still be dozens here in the Milky Way. But we are just beginning to learn about worlds beyond our solar system, called exoplanets, so we really don't have a good idea of what the chances are for advanced life. That's where NASA's Kepler mission comes in.

NASA launches virtual trip to Jupiter
NASA invites the public to travel to Jupiter from the comfort of one of 38 Science On a Sphere theaters around the globe. Viewers will feel like they are in orbit around the largest planet in our solar system as images based on data from NASA missions are projected onto a 6-foot sphere in the center of the theater.

Constant climate change in the Arctic
The region of Earth surrounding the North Pole is known as the Arctic, and researchers say that rapid climate change is disturbing the ecosystems there at a very rapid pace. Across all kinds of ecosystems in the Arctic -- on land, in fresh water, and in salt water -- life is changing dramatically.

A very recent break from a long, cool trend
About 2,000 years ago, researchers say that the Arctic began cooling off -- and that cooling trend lasted all the way up to the 20th century. But, recently, the pattern of cooling in the Arctic has reversed, they say.

Following the leader -- to friendship
For years, researchers have associated imitation among human beings -- copying another's actions -- with positive social behavior, like cooperation and friendship. Imitating others' actions is a way to connect with them, and to communicate our likeness to or affection for that person. Now, researchers have found that capuchin monkeys, a highly social species of monkey, often repay imitation with friendship as well.
