Bench Talk | New Dinosaur - Bluejay Hybrid - Satellite Surveys - Night Sky - ICE Raids & Education | Dec 1, 2025
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
A fossil previously thought to be a juvenile 'Tyrannosaurus rex' turns out to be a new dinosaur species called 'Nanotyrannus'. A rare cross between a 'Blue Jay' and a 'Green Jay' appears to have occurred naturally in Texas, yielding a 'Grue Jay'. Satellite imagery for estimating the number of people living in rural areas appears to be significantly underestimating population sizes. An exciting assortment of planets, stars, constellations, and meteor showers can be seen in the night sky this month. And there have been significant declines in K-12 school attendance since immigration raids (by ICE) in California and Virginia were initiated. Hear about these things and more, on this episode!
