g Stars - A comet that has delighted backyard astronomers in recent weeks after an unexpected eruption has now grown larger than the sun. See article.

g Life - If there is life on Jupiter’s moon Europa, what would it be like? The answer partly depends on the type of ocean water that is under the moon's icy outer shell. See article.
g Intelligence - Is there an objective biological basis for the experience of beauty in art? Or is aesthetic experience entirely subjective? See article.
