Two reports have renewed the debate over whether nations should stop prioritizing economic growth. In June, the Global Justice Report, published by a research organization called the World Inequality Lab, called for a rebalancing of income and wealth, and for the richest countries to accept lower growth, to solve planet-wide problems such as environmental degradation

Editor’s Note: Today’s story is the answer to the September Puzzler. Several of the outcrops at Vasquez Rocks Natural Area in Southern California jut from the arid landscape of the Soledad Basin at remarkable angles. Geologists estimate that the tilt of sedimentary rock strata found in the area averages 50 degrees, steep enough that many

Explanation: Why are Saturn’s poles geometric? Saturn’s North Pole has been known to be surrounded by a hexagonal (6 sides) cloud since discovery in 1987 in data taken by NASA’s Voyager spacecrafts, which quickly flew past the ringed world in the early 1980s. Now, recent observations of Saturn by the Hubble Space Telescope reveal a slightly different geometric cloud pattern around the South Pole: a decagon (10 sides).
