Astronomers have spotted an ultra-rare 'ghost galaxy' made of 99% dark matter, detectable only by a handful of star clusters buried deep in space. A seizure drug already approved by the FDA is showing stunning potential to stop Alzheimer's disease before it even starts — and a dye-free molecular atlas of an Alzheimer's brain is upending everything scientists thought they knew about the disease. In the outer solar system, Jupiter's icy moons may have formed with the chemical building blocks of life already inside them, raising the stakes for upcoming missions. Closer to home, a beloved anti-aging molecule is revealing a troubling double life, and a massive African peatland is now releasing ancient carbon in what scientists fear could be an early-stage climate tipping point.
