Navy brings Challenger wreckage to port in search for cause
The U S Navy ship arrived with about 500 kilograms of Challenger debris as NASA widens the hunt for clues into the explosion that killed seven aboard. Debris includes electronic pieces. 270 kilograms were landed, with no clothes or personal effects recovered. Flags were planted at Kennedy Space Center to honor the crew. NASA seized flight tapes that log system performance every 0.001 second to help determine if tank failure or booster issues caused the disaster.

Giant Nova Scotia fossil find stuns scientists
In Nova Scotia, researchers from Columbia University and Harvard University unveiled a vast 200‑million‑year‑old fossil hoard along Minas Basin. The site yields crocodile skulls, tiny dinosaur footprints and a thumb‑sized lizard skull. At a briefing, Olsen and Shubin described 100000 fossil pieces and noted the footprint set as a key clue to dinosaur emergence. They plan return next summer to continue digging amid high Fundy tides.
