Post navigation On August 16, 2020, a fireball appeared in the night sky over the US southeastern seaboard; it lit up the sky for an estimated 4 seconds. The fireball was likely an Earth-grazing meteorite traveling through the atmosphere and was spotted by skywatchers in four states. Scientists are working to locate any potential meteorites from the event. Pure mathematics and genetics, two fields that are seemingly quite unrelated, have recently been linked by scientists. By developing an algorithm to detect the differences in gene regulation networks, they created a mathematical model which showed links between the two areas. This exciting new discovery could potentially have wide-ranging implications for computational biology and genetics in the future.
