+28 It was the first in-person graduation since 2019. Family and friends cheered and applauded from the stands as graduates were announced, walked across the stage and posed for a photo. Jill Tiefenthaler, who led Colorado College a private liberal arts school north of downtown Colorado Springs, in its 147 th academic year as president for nine years until last August, when she left to become the first female chief executive officer of National Geographic Society, was the keynote speaker. “We’re coming out of enormous difficult times, and we’re looking around the world, and it is very different,” she said. “We’re never going back to the way things were. We all know about this new normal. We get to help create the new normal and you, the class of 2021, have an incredible opportunity to see the world in new ways and to shape your future. Let’s take the lessons we’ve learned as our lantern, and boldly step into the unkn ....

Yes, exoplanets can have oxygen without alien life Exploring the wonders of the Cosmos, one mystery at a time. Exploring the wonders of the Cosmos, one mystery at a time. The discovery of life on another world would be a monumental moment in the history of human civilization. The most likely way we will, one day, find alien life will be discovering chemical markers of life in the atmosphere of planets orbiting distant stars. One of these markers is oxygen, which currently makes up a little over 20 percent of the atmosphere of our own world. However, our own world held onto relatively little oxygen until 2.4 billion years ago, when oxygen-producing cyanobacteria filled the atmosphere with the gas, leading to the first widespread extinction â the Great Oxidation event. Many lifeforms on Earth today, including human beings, are now dependent on this life-giving gas. ....
What did Tulanians do in a day? They broke past fundraising records and showed audacious generosity. Thousands of Tulanians came together to raise over $1.3 million on Tulane University’s fourth annual giving day. During the 24-hour Give Green: A Day for the Audacious event held on March 23, Tulane alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends made nearly 4,000 gifts to support what they love most about the university. Most significant is that the generosity these donors showed on Give Green will make a real impact at Tulane, fostering first-class academic programs, groundbreaking research, transformative experiences and much more. “The generosity of the Tulane community is remarkable,” said Jenny Nathan Simoneaux, executive director of Annual and Leadership Giving at Tulane. “Give Green proved that Tulanians are resilient, hopeful, and above all, audaciously generous. When we come together, there really is no stopping what we can accomplish.” ....
A hot, rocky âsuper Earth,â near one of the oldest stars in the galaxy has taken a team of planet-hunting scientists by surprise. The planet is about 50 percent larger than Earth but requires less than half a day to orbit its star. âFor every day youâre on Earth, this planet orbits its star twice,â said UC Riverside planetary astrophysicist and team member Stephen Kane. Part of the reason for the short orbit is the planetâs proximity to its star, which also creates incredible heat. Its estimated average surface temperature is over 2,000 degrees Kelvinâmuch too toasty to host life as we know it today, though it may once have been possible. In addition, Kane said that although the planet has roughly three times the mass of Earth, the team calculated its density to be the same as our planet. âThis is surprising because youâd expect the density to be higher,â Kane said. âThis is consistent with the notion that the planet is extrem ....
