☆ Hungry Sea Otters Are Helping Save California's Marshlands From Erosion

Sea otters eat constantly and one of their favorite snacks is the striped shore crab. Researchers found that the return of the crab-eating sea otters to a tidal estuary near Monterey, California, helped curb erosion. Hunting bans and habitat restoration efforts helped sea otters recover some of their former range. For the new study, researchers analyzed historic erosion rates dating back to the 1930s to assess the impact of sea otters' return. Other research has shown that sea otters help kelp forests regrow by controlling the number of sea urchins that munch kelp.

☆ Borrowers Are Reassessing Their Budgets as Student Loan Payments Resume After Pandemic Pause

NEW YORK (AP) — Millions of Americans must start repaying their federal student loans again in October, with monthly payments averaging hundreds of dollars a month. She'll put the $235 she was spending on her car payment toward her student loan, but that still leaves another $270 or so she'll have to reallocate or earn. “If they were forgiven out of the blue, I'd be ecstatic.”The Supreme Court in July rejected a plan by President Joe Biden's administration to wipe away $400 billion in student loan debt. According to credit bureau TransUnion, more than half of student loan holders added credit card debt during the pandemic. The program erases remaining debts for federal student loan holders who work in public service while making 10 years of payments.

☆ Rare cosmic collision acted like one of the ‘factories of gold’ in the universe
  + stars: | 2022-12-08 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
The gamma-ray burst, called GRB 211211A, lasted about a minute. Gamma-ray bursts are considered among the strongest and brightest explosions in the universe, and they can range from a few milliseconds to several hours in length. An artist's illustration of GRB 211211A shows the kilonova and gamma-ray burst (right) and ejected material from the explosion (left). After determining that a kilonova created the infrared light, astronomers grew even more puzzled by the gamma-ray burst’s duration. Gamma-ray bursts caused by these rare explosions have only ever been observed to last less than two seconds, but this signal lasted for at least one minute.
