Cities can maintain their native bird populations, but only if they become more compact, a new study has found.

Don't forget the lunar eclipse on the 28th of November! It's penumbral lunar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon passes through the outer part of Earth's shadow, causing it to subtly darken.
