Scientists say supernovae spread fallout when human ancestors walked the earth

by Alan Boyle on April 6, 2016April 6, 2016 at 6:44 pmComment

Researchers say they’ve found evidence of supernova explosions that spewed radioactive fallout over Earth during the age when humanity’s ancestors were evolving into upright-walking, big-brained creatures. One of two studies published in the… Read More

It’s a first: Hubble scientists successfully predict supernova’s ‘instant replay’
