A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) used NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to discover a gas giant in another solar system. The planet holds a new record for being a hot Jupiter-like exoplanet with the shortest year.¹

The Coconino Sandstone, famously exposed near the top of Grand Canyon’s splendid sedimentary layers, remains a controversial rock. Two counterclaims vie for its origin.

Scientists are still trying to out-do each another by finding the biggest dinosaur.

How can we understand Christ’s role as our mediator from a scientific perspective? Why was ICR's first dinosaur excavation significant for creation science? How do oceans point to a young Earth? What can we learn about biology and geology from Haleakala National Park? Discover the answers to these questions and more in the December 2021 issue of Acts & Facts!
