Small lakes on ancient Mars may have remained liquid for decades, even with average air temperatures well below freezing. Using a climate model adapted for Martian conditions, a team of researchers from Rice University discovered that lakes in locations such as Gale Crater, near Mars' equator, could have persisted under thin seasonal ice for at least decades and likely as long as climate conditi

Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope with ground-based observatories, astronomers have traced how Betelgeuse's recently identified companion star, Siwarha, disturbs gas in the red supergiant's extended atmosphere and produces a dense wake of material. The work, led by researchers at the Center for Astrophyphysics | Harvard and Smithsonian (CfA), links this wake to puzzling changes in Betelgeuse's

Peking University, January 2, 2026: A coordinated observation campaign using space- and ground-based telescopes has yielded the first precise mass measurement of a rogue planet, confirming that one long-standing candidate is indeed a planet. Unlike planets in the Solar System, rogue planets travel through space without orbiting a host star.
Over the last decade, astronomers have identified

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ALMA have identified the earliest phases of giant planet formation inside the dense layers of gas and dust in the nearly edge-on disk known as Gomez's Hamburger GoHam. The team presented the research, which is in preparation for publication, at a press conference during the American Astronomical Society's annual meeting in Januar

Zurich, Switzerland (SPX) Jan 06, 2026
The sun rotates about once every 28 days, so active regions on its surface are usually visible from Earth for only around two weeks before they move out of view behind the limb. Ioannis Kontogiannis, a solar physicist at ETH Zurich and the Istituto ricerche solari Aldo e Cele Dacco (IRSOL) in Locarno, notes that ESA's Solar Orbiter mission, launched in 2020, has extended this viewing window by o

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER is being considered for a stunning return to Old Trafford after the sacking of Ruben Amorim, reports claim. United swung the axe on Amorim on Monday just 14 months into his shambolic tenure. It came after the Portuguese boss' shocking blast at club chiefs following the team's 1-1 draw against Leeds United...

Mustela mopbie in Wei, Cao, He, Abramov, Wang, J. Fu, Li, Yang, L.-Q. Fu, Huang, Zhou, Wen et Ge, 2025. DOI: doi.org/10.1111/jse.70029 x.com/JournalSysEvoAbstractWeasels represent the most widely distributed and diverse lineage within the family Mustelidae. They have experienced adaptive radiation and have long been the subject of significant taxonomic debates. This study undertakes a comprehensive study of this group, employing morphological measurements, mitochondrial genomes, nuclear genes, and single copy orthologs extracted from whole genome data. Based on the outcomes of phylogenetic tree construction using orthologous genes, it is ultimately verified that the genera Mustela and Neogale are independent genera, thereby resolving the controversy regarding the species they encompass. Through molecular systematics and morphological studies, a putative Mustela species collected from Mabian Dafengding National Nature Reserve in Sichuan is confirmed as a new species, designated Mustela mopbie sp. nov. This new species exhibits molecular phylogenetic affinity with M. altaica and M. nivalis, yet shares morphological similarities with M. kathiah, M. nivalis and M. aistoodonnivalis. Notably, it is considerably smaller than these species and possesses distinctive body coloration and tail morphology. This study provides a detailed description of this new species and demonstrates that larger datasets yield more robust phylogenetic signal. Furthermore, we observed substantial incongruence between mitochondrial and nuclear gene trees, suggesting potential genomic introgression between this new species and its closely related congeners (M. altaica and M. nivalis).Keywords: cytonuclear discordance, genetic distance, morphological differentiation, Mustela, systematic classificationMustela mopbie sp. nov.Qiu-Jin Wei, Lei Cao, Xing-Cheng He, Alexei Abramov, Jin Wang, Jie Fu, Rui Li, Qi-Sen Yang, Li-Qiang Fu, Yao-Hua Huang, Cai-Quan Zhou, Zhi-Xin Wen and De-Yan Ge. 2025.
