On Sept. 7 2025, the skies darkened as Earth’s shadow consumed the moon. Skywatchers in many parts of the world saw the moon turn blood red due to a total lunar eclipse. For amateur astronomers Michael Jäger and Gerald Rhemann in Namibia, the eclipse was not only a sight to behold, but it also gave them an unprecedented opportunity: the …

It’s official: the animal with the highest number of chromosomes is the Atlas blue butterfly, boasting a record 229 pairs. This is a pretty unusual finding since many of its closest relatives have just 23 or 24 pairs. The Atlas blue butterfly (Polyommatus atlantica) is native to the North African mountain ranges of Morocco and northeast Algeria. It had long …

A huge analysis of DNA methylation in human tissue has revealed new anti-ageing targets.Credit: Lawrence Lawry/SPL The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — becomes less precise as we age. The result is …

Multimodal profiling of human SAT cell types To investigate the cell-type-level epigenomic landscape of human SAT, we profiled DNA methylation, chromatin conformation and gene expression on nuclei isolated from SAT biopsies from Finnish females (Fig. 1 and Supplementary Note 1.1). We used snm3C-seq to simultaneously profile single-cell-level DNA methylation and chromatin conformation of nuclei isolated from five SAT biopsies (see …

A spatiotemporally resolved atlas of the Arabidopsis life cycle To generate a comprehensive atlas of Arabidopsis development, we collected six distinct organ systems that encompass diverse tissues as well as whole organisms at ten discrete developmental time points throughout the Arabidopsis life cycle corresponding to established developmental road maps28,29,30. This includes imbibed and germinating seeds, three stages of seedling development, …

A comet visiting our solar system from another star is only the third known interstellar object to pass our way. The approach of 3I/Atlas has sparked interest and curiosity in the astro community, but one prominent Harvard physicist has raised the possibility that it is more than a typical comet. This image provided by NASA/European Space Agency shows an image …
