Commercial lunar rovers set to explore moon's south pole.
Engineers are building a lunar rover, VIPER, to explore the moon's south pole in 2024, which will search for ice and map how much ice may exist beneath the moon's surface. Scientists have discovered nearly 400 new species in Southeast Asia's Greater Mekong region, but they may already be under threat of extinction due to human activity. A solar telescope has captured stunning images of the sun's surface, showcasing solar phenomena such as "light bridges" that span across sunspots. New research suggests that Saturn's iconic rings could disappear within the next few hundred million years. A fossil discovery has revealed the saber-toothed Inostrancevia, a prehistoric predator that made an unbelievable trek to survive rapidly changing environments during "the Great Dying."
