Enjoy.
And some cool science things this week, to whet your appetite:
- Earth’s gravity maps help scientists find new features on the ocean floor.
- The math behind why you’re not going to win at Powerball.
- Science can tell if North Korea’s test was really an H-bomb.
- The weird and fantastical origin of most of the coal on Earth. (Has to do with trees dying before there was bacteria/fungi/other microbes to decompose them. So they just piled on top of each other. Cool, right?)
