Plus: The "lost cities" of the Americas; the hidden world of jaguars; getting cozy with vultures
| Extraordinary people, discoveries, and places | |
 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY STEVE WINTER | | | Inside the hidden world of jaguars | | The apex carnivores of North and South America are at once regal and ferocious, unrivaled in stealth, at home in rivers, on jungle ground, and in trees. And for thousands of years jaguars have had a double life, worshipped as gods by the Olmec, the Maya, the Aztec, and the Inca. | | | |
 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY AKG/ALBUM | | | The ghostly treasure ship of Sutton Hoo | | In 1939 a series of mounds in England revealed their astounding contents: the remains of an Anglo-Saxon funerary ship and a huge cache of seventh-century royal treasure—artifacts of a quality and quantity never seen before. Here's what archaeologists have learned in the decades since. | | | |
 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY NASA | | | Jupiter is so much weirder than we thought | | Scientific findings from the Juno spacecraft have shown a world of intricate clouds and intense magnetism—and also painted a picture of a planet that doesn't work the way scientists thought it would, from the tops of its clouds to a potentially oversized, eroding core. | | | | |

 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY CHARLIE HAMILTON JAMES, NAT GEO IMAGE COLLECTION | | | Here's what it's like to get cozy with vultures | | Vultures are the ultimate antihero: They're ugly, aggressive, and have pretty rotten feeding habits. But they're also one of the fastest declining families of birds in history. Here, photographer Charlie Hamilton James explains how he captured their fascinating and gruesome lives. | | | |
 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY IMAGEBROKER, ALAMY STOCK PHOTO | | | Uncovering the 'lost cities' of the Americas | | When we say a city is "lost," what typically is lost is not its location, but its story—its life in the world. Here, explore three once-teeming cities in North and Central America that once passed into obscurity but are now very much on the map for archaeologists, preservationists, and travelers. | | | |
