Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have watched our planet's seasons from **** e and discovered that spring, summer, winter, and fall are surprisingly out of sync.
Just because two places exist in the same hemisphere, at similar altitudes, or at the same latitude doesn't guarantee they'll experience the same seasonal changes at the same time.
Even regions that are side by side can experience different weather and ecological patterns, sculpting wildly different neighboring habitats.

Accusations of narcissism are so rampant today in popular culture that the term may be on the road to losing all meaning. But in our era of self-absorbed social media, some psychologists report that the trait—meant to describe someone who is low on empathy and inflated with self-regard—may be on the rise, particularly among young people, particularly in the West.
Recently, a team of scientists set out to determine what demographic and cultural factors actually count when it comes to the prevalence of narcissism. The results were surprising. For one thing, the team discovered that narcissism m

Would you rather be a millionaire or have safe, reliable passive income for life? That’s the difficult choice that many lucky lottery winners are frequently faced with.

Air pollution isn't just bad for human health; it also poses an existential threat to certain fly species.
New research from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology found that elevated ozone levels inhibit mating among flies.
Ozone in the stratosphere helps protect the Earth from dangerous UV radiation. But down here, the gas is a threat to our health, food supply, and biodiversity. The latter is apparent in this recent study, which found that ozone exposure significantly degrades fly pheromones.
When this happens, male and female flies have a hard time recognizing each other, renderi

Every animal with a brain needs sleep — and even a few without a brain do, too. Humans sleep, birds sleep, whales sleep and even jellyfish sleep.
Sleep is universal “even though it’s actually very risky,” said Paul-Antoine Libourel, a researcher at the Neuroscience Research Center of Lyon in France.
When animals nod off, they're most vulnerable to sneaky predators. But despite the risks, the need for sleep is so strong that no creature can skip it altogether, even when it's highly inconvenient.
Animals that navigate extreme conditions and environments have evolved to sleep in extreme ways —

With the four weekday games from last week's holiday slate, your Week 14 NFL predictions should account for the rest advantages that teams have. Games like Bengals vs. Bills (-6), Ravens vs. Steelers (+6), Chiefs vs. Texans (+3.5) and Eagles vs. Chargers (+2.5) all feature teams with multiple days of rest over their opponent. While sportsbooks factored this in when setting the Week 14 NFL odds, having the edge in rest hasn't always been beneficial in regard to NFL spread success. Cincinnati, for example, who played on Thanksgiving Day, is 0-6 ATS over its last six games when it has the rest ad

See it: Stunning photos of 2025's last full moon — the cold moon

The final full moon of the year — a supermoon known as the cold moon — shone brightly across the world this week.
It follows two other supermoons this year: the harvest supermoon on Oct. 7 and the beaver supermoon on Nov. 5.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon being at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. The moon, as a result, will appear slightly larger and brighter than usual.
According to the Farmers’ Almanac, December’s full moon is known as the cold moon, “reflecting the frigid season.” The
