Only two northern white rhinos are left, a mother and daughter who cannot carry a calf, and after 39 laboratory embryos and six transfers…
Thirty-nine pure northern white rhino embryos have been produced, and as of April 2026 six of them had gone into southern white rhino surrogates in Kenya without producing a lasting pregnancy. Every recent egg collection has come from one animal, a 26-year-old female called Fatu.

For decades visitors tossed coins and trash into Yellowstone's Morning Glory Pool, and the debris clogged its vent and cooled the water
A century of coins and trash transformed one of Yellowstone's most iconic hot springs from brilliant blue to murky green and orange—and scientists say the damage may be permanent.

About Space Daily
Space, science, and the human side of the frontier. Since 1995.
Space Daily is an independent publication covering three connected beats: the space industry, the science behind it, and the psychology of ambition, isolation, and meaning under extremes. Founded in Tokyo in 1995, we’ve built a thirty-year archive of rigorous reporting on the people, missions, and ideas pushing humanity outward — and on the human dynamics shaped by frontier life. The same ambitions, pressures, and patterns of mind that drive humanity to the stars also shape how we live on Earth. We employ modern AI technologies to support our editorial workflows; every published piece is editorially directed and reviewed.
