Climate twist threatens future of green sea turtles
New Current Biology findings show temperature dependent sex determination leaving green sea turtle populations skewed toward females. At pivot temperatures around 85 degrees, cooler nests yield males while warmer nests produce females, with Raine Island hosting vast nesting grounds. Experts warn fewer males could affect long term population dynamics though short term numbers may rise.

Humanity Star sparks mixed praise and space debris worries
Rocket Lab released its Humanity Star, a 65 faced carbon fiber sphere, into an orbit expected to last nine months. Astronomers call it space graffiti and a potential nuisance, while some say it may offer a brief, bright spectacle before decay.
