Stem Cell Find Raises Fertility Hope,
Fertility experts have long believed that women are born with all the eggs they will ever have; however, new findings suggest otherwise. From the ovaries of adult women, researchers have isolated stem cells that are able to spontaneously produce new eggs. They have yet to show that these eggs are capable of producing offspring when fertilized, but if this is proved to be the case, these stem cells could revolutionize the treatment of infertility.

Sutton Hoo,
Sutton Hoo is an archaeological site containing Anglo-Saxon burial mounds from the 6th and 7th centuries. In 1939, the remains of an approximately 90-ft (27-m) burial ship were found there, with gold and silver treasures fit for a king — but no body. The artifacts displayed both pagan and Christian features and immediately drew comparisons with Swedish finds and the world described in the heroic poem Beowulf.

Satellite Images Tell Tale of Plentiful Penguins,
Using high-resolution satellite images taken from space, scientists counted the number of emperor penguins in Antarctica, and they found the population to be double that of previous estimates.

This is the first time researchers have counted the entire population of any species by satellite in one season.
