They are, by far, the largest group of birds in the world today, with over 5,000 species. That's nearly half of all avian species on Earth. Now an extensive genetic survey of these diverse avian songsters has definitively pinpointed the place where they all first e..>> view originalA massive asteroid zoomed terrifyingly close to Earth and no-one knew it was coming

The Milky Way galaxy is estimated to be as massive as somewhere between one or two trillion Suns, of which five-sixths is dark matter th..>> view original
