Sperm Whales Alter Click Patterns in Response to Boat Noise

Project Ceti researchers found sperm whales off Dominica produce distinct, faster clicking patterns ("codas") and alter "vowel-like" sounds when boats are nearby. This discovery could allow scientists to predict ship presence and raises questions about the impact of noise pollution on whale communication.

Astronomers found evidence that the Milky Way's disc was flipped over 90 degrees about 10 billion years ago after a head-on collision with a dwarf galaxy called the Gaia Sausage, long before the solar system formed. Supercomputer simulations by Durham University researchers explain the slow rotation of stars in the Milky Way's halo.
