Researchers have pinpointed the forces generated by the flapping of bat wings, including an odd upside-down wing stroke that seems to help the furry fliers hover. The results not only highlight differences between bat and bird flight but may help designers of small flying robots.
Asteroid surfaces that have absorbed warming sunlight can re-emit the heat when they move into the shade, thereby creating recoil and affecting an asteroid’s rotation.
Castaway, a deaf dolphin at the Marine Mammal Conservancy in Key Largo, Florida, has become the proud recipient of a “chat line” that will broadcast the sounds of nearby dolphins and help the unborn calf in her uterus learn vital sonar and social skills.
Over most of the Earth’s land and under some shallow waters lies a thin layer of soil. This “skin” is a complex and variable mixture of minerals, air, water, decaying remains of life, and countless living organisms.

Signs is committed to preparing people for the return of Jesus. In the May 30, 1932 issue, H M S Richards writes: “Jesus will come! His kingdom, represented by the stone cut out of the mountain without hands (without human help) will smite the image upon the feet. The nations of western Europe will still be on the scene of action for it is to be ‘in the days of these kings.’ The kingdom will be set up when Jesus Christ comes.”
Prophecy (see page 54) and the return of Jesus (see page 39) have been featured in Signs for more than 120 years. We want people to know what we know—that Jesus will return!
