Some extra-special selections today to mark Halloween!
On Basic Space, Kelly Oakes explains the nature of Blue Zombie¹ stars, and discusses some recent research on their origins in one particular cluster of stars.
In the Guardian, GrrlScientist writes about tropical fish and Zombies² operating in a vacuum, with an illustration in an episode of the awesome Periodic Videos series.
Why do Zombies³ not get headaches when they repeatedly ram their heads into a tree? Elizabeth Preston gives an insight into this fascinating research that can help prevent or manage head injuries in athletes.
Thanks for the great posts, and I’ll be back with more selections next Monday.
