dc.descriptionIn this edition of Spotlight on Science, we'll see how scientific exploration, more often than not, yields the unexpected. Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory scientists, scouring 6 years of detailed X-ray data of the Milky Way, discovered what is not there. Data from the Smithsonian Center for Tropical Forest Science reveals that rare tropical trees may, benefit from being rare. Natural History and National Zoo researchers join to preserve a bird specimen in a way that keeps open the possibility for future cloning of an extinct speciesen_US
