Olympus Mons Mars volcano tectonic plates gravity

Olympus Mons could keep erupting in one place

Olympus Mons is a volcano on Mars, more than twice as tall as Everest. Mars has no tectonic plates to shift the volcano's location, so it could keep erupting in one place. Mars's lower gravity also lets rock pile higher.

Studies challenge claims about full moons

37+ studies

At least 37 studies have invalidated claims linking lunar phases to effects such as more psychiatric admissions, traffic accidents, homicides, or suicides.

COVID-19 mortality risk differed enormously between age groups

Early estimates of COVID-19's infection fatality risk showed a steep increase with age. Children faced a much lower risk of dying after infection than very elderly adults, although risk also depended on health, immunity and access to treatment. Population averages could therefore be misleading: two places with similar infection counts might experience very different numbers of deaths.
