Terrestrial samples and lunar samples are very different, so the Artemis team has already taken that into account as they design their tools, they didn't start from scratch. They started with Apollo 17 and what worked really well and are moving forward from there toward Artemis. – Ryan Zeigler	Found on CNN 2 years ago
The non-invasive nature of this approach makes it particularly valuable for observing vulnerable or endangered species as well as those in hard-to-reach environments, such as caves and burrows. They do not have to be visible for us to know they are in the area if we can pick up traces of their DNA, literally out of thin air, air sampling could revolutionise terrestrial biomonitoring and provide new opportunities to track the composition of animal communities as well as detect invasion of non-native species. – Elizabeth Clare	Found on CNN 2 years ago
We are currently seeing an industry wide reduction in terrestrial AIS signals in China. – Charlotte Cook	Found on CNN 3 years ago
Transcend the terrestrial, surpass the celestial, from nature’s hands when you receive the sublime pleasures of dance – Shah Asad Rizvi	added by shahasadrizvi 3 years ago
We have directly witnessed the formation of so-called stardust, the dust expelled from cool evolved stars, such as the ejection we've just witnessed, could go on to become the building blocks of terrestrial planets and life. – Miguel Montargès	Found on CNN 3 years ago
There is clearly ongoing tension between the U.S. and Russia, in space but also on the ground. The Russian annexation of Crimea, its support for little green men in eastern Ukraine, its pressure on Georgia and the Baltic states, all indicate that its relations with the West will remain tense for the foreseeable future, space reflects terrestrial tensions, and it is likely that there will be further tests of new Russian weapons, as they would want to neutralize the American space advantage in any conflict. – Dean Cheng	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
We see that same pattern in the fossil record of terrestrial carnivores, for instance, you see a' cat-like' predator arise many different times before you get the modern radiation of cats. This kind of repeated evolution of similar ecologies is the basis of so many studies of how evolution works in the long term. – Anthony Friscia	Found on CNN 4 years ago
This discovery overturns decades-old ideas that non-bird dinosaurs were restricted to terrestrial environments, so, yes, we believe that this discovery does indeed revolutionize our understanding of dinosaur biology. – Harvard University	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
Understanding these giants of the terrestrial realm has been at the forefront of science for centuries, and it really matters if they are cold or warm-blooded. It changes how active we think they were and how they would have interacted with the environment. – Pincelli Hull	Found on CNN 4 years ago
On Earth, we can predict if it is going to rain pretty much anywhere in the world very accurately, and space weather just isn't there yet, our predictions lag behind terrestrial weather by 50 years, if not more. What we need is to grasp the underlying physics behind space weather, and this starts at the Sun, which is what The Inouye Solar Telescope will study over the next decades. – Matt Mountain	Found on CNN 4 years ago
Only on Aldabra, which has the oldest palaeontological record of any oceanic island within the Indian Ocean region, is fossil evidence available that demonstrates the effects of changing sea levels on extinction and recolonization events, conditions were such on Aldabra, the most important being the absence of terrestrial predators and competing mammals, that a rail was able to evolve flightlessness independently on each occasion. – David Martill	Found on CNN 5 years ago
A series of astronomical observations obtained over the period 1986 to 2018 supports the idea that life is a cosmic rather than a purely terrestrial or planetary phenomenon, these include the detection of biologically relevant molecules in interstellar clouds and comets, mid-infrared spectra of interstellar grains and the dust from comets, a diverse set of data from comets including the Rosetta mission showing consistency with biology and the frequency of Earth-like or habitable planets in the Galaxy. – Professor Lattanzio	Found on FOX News 6 years ago
Today, birds are the most diverse and globally widespread group of terrestrial vertebrate animals -- there are nearly 11,000 living species, only a handful of ancestral bird lineages succeeded in surviving the mass extinction event 66 million years ago, and all of today's amazing living bird diversity can be traced to these ancient survivors. – Daniel Field	Found on CNN 6 years ago
In Australia, it seems more to be a terrestrial transmission whereas in Africa, for example, the strain is very different and is mostly transmitted through aquatic ecosystems. – Andres Garchitorena	Found on CNN 6 years ago
Through the gained knowledge of physics, in particular the sub-field of Newtonian or classical mechanics, we're capable of making very accurate calculations of the exact times when solar eclipses will happen and the terrestrial locations of where total solar eclipses will occur, it impresses me immensely that [the] Universe has a repeating and cyclical nature that we've figured out. – Seton Hall Professor Lopez	Found on FOX News 7 years ago
We do not have formal authority today to deal with what happens on orbit or on other planetary terrestrial bodies. That’s the issue that we’re wrestling with, what is being looked at right now is a Band-Aid fix because the system is broken. – George Nield	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
Even though fish-eating terrestrial consumers are often exposed to high levels of mercury, they are usually not species eaten by humans – think of an osprey, kingfisher or bald eagle, the same is true for terrestrial consumers that rely on emergent aquatic insects – they are often not species consumed by humans such as spiders, songbirds and bats. – Allyson Jackson	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
We are continuing to develop the technology, and the new sprayable version really does open up the possibility of applying super-black coatings in many types of airborne or terrestrial applications, possibilities include commercial products such as cameras, equipment requiring improved performance in a smaller form factor, as well as differentiating the look of products my means of the coating’s unique aesthetic appearance. – Surrey NanoSystems	Found on FOX News 8 years ago
It's a key animal from an evolutionary point of view, it's older than crocodiles and dinosaurs; it's an amphibian. So if you look at the modern salamander, its morphology and body shape is very close to the fossils of the first terrestrial vertebrates. So by studying the modern salamander we have a time window to the ancestors of all terrestrial vertebrates, including humans. – Professor Auke Ijspeert	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
It's not necessarily habitable just because it's water – at least to terrestrial organisms. – Alfred McEwen	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
As one of the earliest and oldest crocodylomorphs, Carnufex was a far cry from living crocodiles. It was an agile, terrestrial predator that hunted on land, carnufex predates the group that living crocodiles belong to. – Lindsay Zanno	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Terrestrial planet evolution around low-mass stars is very different. – Rodrigo Luger	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Lunar resource exploration should be based on the same methods that have guided humans on their centuries-old exploration of terrestrial resources. – Angel Abbud-Madrid	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
We intend to spin the technologies developed for the terrestrial RoboSimian back out to applications in space, these tasks include assembly and maintenance of orbital structures; exploration of low-gravity bodies like asteroids, comets, and moons; exploration of caves and cliffs on Mars or our moon; and even preconstruction of habitats wherever humans care to venture in the solar system. – Brett Kennedy	Found on CNN 10 years ago
