For more than a decade, 225 motion-triggered cameras strapped to trees across the Serengeti have fired day and night, and the millions of photographs they produced were sorted one by one by hundreds of thousands of volunteers who had never set foot in Tanzania
A decade of wildlife surveillance across the Serengeti produced millions of images—but only crowdsourced patience could turn them into science. The ...
Q&A: Tiny spores for a big critical minerals challenge

Astronomers Stopped Staring at the Universe's Strangest Red Dots and Looked Around Them Instead, Here's What They Found
What if the most puzzling objects the James Webb Space Telescope has ever spotted were never the real story? Astronomers have spent years staring at t...
Where does a planet end and a star begin? Webb found a free-floating brown dwarf only about twice Jupiter’s mass, surrounded by a disk of planet-forming material — an object with a planet’s mass that appears to have formed like a star.
Webb spectroscopy identifies a roughly two-Jupiter-mass IC 348 member with infrared excess from a disk, while spatial evidence favors star-like format...
