New findings from a team using the international Gemini Observatory and the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory suggest that Earth-sized worlds could be lurking undiscovered in binary star systems, hidden in the glare of their parent stars. As roughly half of all stars are in binary systems, this means that astronomers could be missing many Earth-sized worlds.</p></div> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-view-node"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/are-we-missing-other-earths-676510">Read more >></a></span> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-14 views-row-even"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <h2 class="field-content"><a href="/drug-doubles-down-bone-cancer-metastasis-676179">Drug doubles down on bone cancer, metastasis</a></h2> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-field-news-image-url"> <div class="field-content pull-right col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3"> <img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://earimediaprodweb.azurewebsites.net/Api/v1/Multimedia/f7d1d9b4-c6d2-4b55-a642-5ebf618f6969/Rendition/low-res/Content/Public" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-field-news-body"> <div class="field-content"><p>HOUSTON - (June 23, 2021) - Bone cancer is hard to treat and prone to metastasis.

However, a large number of a plant cell's genes in its mitochondria and chloroplasts can develop defects, jeopardising their function. Nevertheless, plant cells evolved an amazing tool called the RNA editosome (a large protein complex) to repair these kinds of errors.</p></div> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-view-node"> <span class="field-content"><a href="/universal-mechanism-regulation-plant-cells-discovered-675993">Read more >></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-center"><ul class="pagination"><li class="active"><span>1</span></li> <li><a title="Go to page 2" href="/heavens?page=1">2</a></li> <li><a title="Go to page 3" href="/heavens?page=2">3</a></li> <li><a title="Go to page 4" href="/heavens?page=3">4</a></li> <li><a title="Go to page 5" href="/heavens?page=4">5</a></li> <li class="pager-ellipsis disabled"><span>…</span></li> <li class="next"><a title="Go to next page" href="/heavens?page=1">next ›</a></li> <li class="pager-last"><a title="Go to last page" href="/heavens?page=653">last »</a></li> </ul></div> </div> </section> </div> </section> <aside class="col-sm-4 float-left" role="complementary"> <div class="region region-sidebar-first well"> <section id="block-block-4" class="block block-block clearfix"> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//tags.expo9.exponential.com/tags/ScientificBlogging/Sciencecodexcom/tags.js"></script> </section> <section id="block-aggregator-feed-1" class="block block-aggregator clearfix"> <h2 class="block-title">Science 2.0</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://www.science20.com/hank_campbell/how_proposition_65_made_products_more_expensive_even_outside_california-257371">How Proposition 65 Made Products More Expensive Even Outside California</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.science20.com/news_staff/duckweed_science_may_lead_to_food_that_farms_itself-257370">Duckweed Science May Lead To Food That Farms Itself</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.science20.com/hank_campbell/french_chicks_impacted_most_activists_set_their_sights_on_banning_tebuconazole-257369">French Chicks Impacted Most: Activists Set Their Sights On Banning Tebuconazole</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.science20.com/the_conversation/lifesize_sculptures_uncovered_in_pompeii_debunk_myths_about_ancient_women-257368">Life-Size Sculptures Uncovered In Pompeii Debunk Myths About Ancient Women</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.science20.com/tommaso_dorigo/the_problem_with_peer_review-257366">The Problem With Peer Review</a> </li> </ul><div class="more-link"><a href="/aggregator/sources/1" title="View this feed's recent news.">More</a></div> </section> <section id="block-block-1" class="block block-block clearfix"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1610391640/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=funnierthanyo-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1610391640" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.sciencecodex.com/files/ScienceLeft_ad1.gif" /></a> </section> </div> </aside>  </div> </div> <footer class="footer container-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="region region-footer"> <section id="block-block-2" class="block block-block clearfix"> <p><small>We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect anonymous information.
