Question: The captivating motion of various satellites orbiting our planet has been revealed in a fascinating Nasa video. Created by the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, it shows their entire Earth-observation fleet and the paths they take around Earth. While the ISS sweeps across ‘diagonally’, in the video at least, others like the Landsat series are seen travelling from pole to pole. Scroll down for video Nasa scientists in Maryland, US have created a satellite visualisation (shown). It shows dozens of Earth-observing satellites currently orbiting our planet. They include Landsat 7 and 8, part of Nasa's long-serving series. And the ISS can also be seen sweeping diagonally across EarthNasa scientists in Maryland, US have created a satellite visualisationIt shows dozens of Earth-observing satellites currently orbiting our planetThey include Landsat 7 and 8, part of Nasa's long-serving seriesAnd the ISS can also be seen sweeping diagonally across EarthMany Earth-observing satellites orbit pole to pole to see the whole planet

Answer: ‘Together, they provide a picture of the _ as a system,’ said Nasa.


Question: George Osborne pleaded with David Cameron not to hold an in/out referendum on the European Union, it emerged last night. Senior Tory sources revealed the Chancellor had repeatedly warned against the move in the run-up to the Prime Minister’s referendum pledge in 2013. Meanwhile a major new biography of Mr Cameron said the issue had opened up a ‘rare schism’ between the two men. The revelation that the Chancellor tried to block the referendum will raise eyebrows among Eurosceptic Tories, given his role as Mr Cameron’s lead negotiator in talks to secure a new deal with the EU. A spokesman for the Chancellor last night said it was ‘nonsense’ to suggest he had ever opposed holding an in/out vote.Osborne repeatedly warned against move before PM’s referendum pledgeHe warned PM referendum would not resolve tensions within Tory partyAlso said it would put party on wrong side of mainstream business opinionMajor new biography said issue opened up ‘rare schism’ between two men

Answer: ‘He certainly expressed his opinion to _ that a referendum was not a good move,’ the source said.


Question: We share a common ancestor with Neanderthals, but this ancient population remains largely a mystery. Now, researchers have used new digital techniques to recreate the skull of the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals for the first time. The skull also shows how our ancient forefathers had human cheekbones, but a Neanderthal-like bulge at the back of the skulls. The 'virtual fossil' has been simulated by plotting a total of 797 'landmarks' on fossilised skulls stretching over almost two million years of Homo history. These skulls included a 1.6 million-year-old Homo erectus fossil, Neanderthal crania found in Europe and a 19th century skulls in Cambridge.Scientists plotted 797 'landmarks' on fossilised skulls over Homo historyThey fed a digital skull into the timeline, warping it to fit fossil changesResulting virtual 3D ancestral skull bears early hallmarks of both speciesIt also shows how a lineage split occurred 700,000 years ago, rather than 400,000 years ago as previously thought

Answer:
1.8 million years ago - _ ergaster begins to appear in fossil record
