A neutron star is the closest thing to a black hole that astronomers can observe directly, crushing half a million times more mass than Earth into a sphere no larger than a city. In October 2010, a neutron star near the center of our galaxy erupted with hundreds of X-ray bursts that were powered by a barrage of thermonuclear explosions on the star's surface. NASA captured the month-long fusillade in extreme detail.

Ancient fossil remains reveal Velociraptor's last meal

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:13 AM PST

Scientists have discovered a bone from a Pterosaur in the guts of the skeletal remains of a Velociraptor that lived in the Gobi Desert about 75 million years ago. The findings support the idea that Velociraptor, a carnivore with a specialized sickle-shaped slashing talon on the second toe of each foot and large grasping hands, would also scavenge on any available carcasses.
