[NEWS] Four science links: neutrinos and Antarctica, 'Oumuamua, Ceres and Pluto, panspermia


  • This feature explaining how neutrino telescopes in Antarctica are being used to study the Earth's core is fascinating. The Globe and Mail has it.

  • Universe Today shares "Project Lyra", a proposal for an unmanned probe to interstellar asteroid 'Oumuamua.

  • Dwarf planets Ceres and Pluto, Nora Redd suggests at Discover, may have much more in common than we might think. Is Ceres a KBO transported into the warm asteroid belt?

  • Universe Today reports on one paper that takes a look at some mechanisms behind galactic panspermia.
