Human birth rates will continue to drop drastically over the coming century, and within just 25 years, over two-thirds of countries' populations will be in decline.
Extreme temperature events are often accompanied by greater solar radiation and higher wind speeds that could be captured by solar panels and wind turbines.
Data from the Gaia Space Telescope was used to identify quasars, the intensely bright young galaxies fueled by black holes.
The observatory has achieved this milestone over 28 years in space, even though it was never designed to be a comet hunter.
The differential rotation seems to be reined in by long-period oscillations of sound waves in the convection zone that can be detected on the surface as swirling motions around the poles.
