Elephants in Crisis and Uranus Mysteries Unveiled

Researchers report a severe decline in African elephant populations over 50 years using data from extensive surveys. Separately, scientists have revised past misconceptions about Uranus, revealing that previous analyses of its magnetic field were skewed by an unusual solar event during the Voyager 2 flyby.

In a comprehensive study, researchers have unveiled alarming population declines of African elephants across the continent over the last fifty years. Data collected from 475 sites across 37 countries since 1964 depicts a grim status for these intelligent mammals.

The study provides fresh evidence on the perilous state of Earth's largest land animals, emphasizing the pressing conservation challenges for both savanna and forest elephant species.

Meanwhile, scientific advancements shed light on Uranus, challenging the knowledge derived during NASA's 1986 Voyager 2 flyby. Scientists discovered that the findings on Uranus' magnetic field were distorted due to an intense solar wind event, urging a re-evaluation of its attributes.
