Size does matter - to geologists. We're referring to the size of meteorites that have collided with Earth in the past, of course. Recently, these scientists have discovered a new way to estimate not only the size of these meteorites, but their frequency of collision as well. More on that after the jump.

Australia's Aurora Australis, a marine science research vessel, recent came back from its trip from Antarctica.

And as we've learned from numerous environmental campaigns, messing with coral is a big no-no. More at the full story.
