A huge storm dominates the rather featureless surface of Saturn in an image taken by the Cassini spacecraft on Feb. 25, 2011, about 12 weeks after the powerful storm was first detected in the planet's northern hemisphere. The megastorm is seen overtaking itself as it encircles the entire planet. Astronomers have found deep in the atmosphere the aftereffects of megastorms that occurred hundreds of years ago. The dark stripes are the shadows of Saturn's rings.

Hundred-year storms? That’s how long they last on Saturn.

Scientists have long debated whether comb jellies (left) or sponges (right) are the sister group to all other animals. A detailed comparison of the chromosomes of these and other animals to the chromosomes of three single-celled non-animal groups finally resolves the question. (Photos courtesy of MBARI)

Speciesism places Homo sapiens at the top of a hierarchy that is often used to justify sacrificing other animals, plants, fungi and microbes for the benefit of humanity. A different perspective is needed to ensure the survival of Earth’s ecosystem and ultimately humans themselves, a new book argues.

Speciesism, like racism, imperils humanity and the planet
