Poo reveals dinosaurs’ secret to success
Research has studying fossilized dinosaur poo and vomit have worked out what dinosaurs ate – and how this helped and take over the world. It turns out that the secret to their success was their diet. Unlike other animals around at the time, plant-eating dinosaurs enjoyed a wide variety of plants, which helped them to survive climate changes that limited the choice of veggies on offer. And as the herbivores got bigger and stronger, so did the carnivores eating them. “The way to avoid extinction is to eat a lot of plants,” said researcher Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki.

Here's some amazing news from the world of science:

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured amazing images of a galaxy like our own forming in the early universe. The James Webb Space Telescope is a powerful space telescope orbiting the Sun. Because it detects infrared light (wavelengths that humans cannot see) it is able to look much further back in time than any previous telescope. This image shows clumps of stars in the process of joining together to form a galaxy like our own - the Milky Way. Scientists have named this distant Galaxy firefly sparkle because it looks like a swarm of colourful fireflies.
