This week in science news, we discovered the near-complete remains of a never-before-seen mosasaur that dominated the ancient Pacific Ocean, learned of atom-size black holes that could be devouring stars from the inside out, and investigated "no burp syndrome," which causes flatulence and "awkward gurgling."
The holiday season may be in full swing, but the world of science news never sleeps — and one of our biggest stories this week was the discovery of an ancient sea monster unlike anything ever seen. The prehistoric predator, which researchers have named "blue dragon," has an unusual body plan that sets it apart from its extinct relatives, and it's thought to have roamed the Pacific Ocean around 72 million years ago.
