Appearing in the fossil record around 230 million years ago, pterosaurs survived until 66 million years ago, when an asteroid impact helped wipe them, and many other life forms, out. The pterosaurs are often the animals in the background, while the dinosaurs occupy the foreground.

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Australia’s rooftop solar industry has renewed calls for a mandatory recycling scheme to deal with the growing problem of solar panel waste.

One in three Australian homes now have rooftop solar panels, and new systems are being installed at the rate of 300,000 a year. Meanwhile, older systems are being scrapped—often well before the end of their useful life. This has made solar panels Australia’s fastest-growing electronic waste stream. Yet federal government plans for a national scheme to…
