LIFE IN THE MULTIVERSE | Computer simulations involving dark energy suggest our Universe may not be as unique as we once thought...

According to the multiverse theory, life arose in our Universe thanks to the amount of dark energy being just right. The theory states that if the amount of dark energy in a universe is too large, it causes such a rapid expansion that it prevents any stars, planets or life from forming, If it is too small, then the universe collapses again before anything interesting forms. Dark energy is the mysterious force that is accelerating the expansion of the Universe that started with the Big Bang.

Spotted hyenas are bucking the trend for large carnivores being decline. The spotted hyena is dog-like in appearance.

Spotted hyenas live in clans and frequently hunt in groups. Cooperation can improve the hunting success of spotted hyenas – but this depends on prey availability.

Time to save the planet. This month, we take you into the labs of scientists whose promising research may just help save the planet from looming threats.

SEEING REDS.
Take a peek into the lives of the one-of-a-kind red squirrels, native to the Scottish Highlands.
In autumn when food is abundant, squirrels have plenty of spare time to collect nuts one at a time in their mouth. They scrape a small hole in soft earth and bury their prize, patting the soil down on top to hide it from birds. The caching is not random: a particular place will be chosen that they can find later.

MISSION INTO THE SUN
Are we finally ready to explore the star that has continued to remain stubbornly out of reach?

What a wind
