Description:
In science news around the world, scientists working off the coast of Mexico have drilled into the crater of a dinosaur-killing asteroid, an ExoMars mission to put a rover on the Red Planet has been delayed to 2020, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency announces that its x-ray observatory Hitomi cannot be recovered, Italy's troubled geophysics institute gets a new boss, a crowdfunding effort to support a Swedish trial of a prostate cancer drug to treat pedophiles falls short of its target, and more. Also, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concludes that the 9000-year-old Kennewick Man was Native American. And a Science survey finds that 88% of respondents think it's not wrong to download pirated papers from repositories such as Sci-Hub.
