Cosmic Jet Looks Like Giant Tornado in Space
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed an object that looks like a giant tornado in space. The helical structure actually results from shock waves where a powerful protostellar jet hits neighboring gas and dust. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / J. Bally (University of Colorado)

Scientists Narrow the Time Limits for the Human and Chimpanzee Split
Our closest animal relative is not so far away. Chimpanzees diverged from humans only 5-7 million years ago according to a newly released study of gene sequences. Credit: Anne Fischer, Max Plank-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
