Evolution may occur faster than once thought
Two graduate students at Harvard University claim to have shown that evolution can happen much faster than previously thought.

The technique, vector autoregression, is used to predict the stock market based on its historical behavior.

atmosphere, because they lack several characteristics of the more familiar lower
atmospheric lightning. TLEs include red sprites, sprite halos, blue jets, gigantic jets,
and elves.
