In a new study, scientists have revealed that massive mega-tooth sharks or megalodons, which have been guarding the oceans in the world more than three million years ago, might have given birth to infants bigger than adult humans might. While scanning through the X-rays of the vertebra of a fossilized megalodon, scientists have come up […]

Research on Greenland’s ice sheets has shown that glaciers retreated in around every sector of the island, at the same time; these glaciers are going through physical changes. Experts have said that some physical changes are leading to the deflection of freshwater rivers under the ice sheets. The study has been led by Twila Moon […]

Kyoto University in Japan is going to team up with a Japanese Forestry firm to make wooden satellites into orbit by 2023. These wooden satellites will be used to reduce space junk. The Japanese astronaut Takao Doi, has said that the benefit of a wooden satellite is that even if it falls out of orbit, […]

An astronaut from NASA, Kate Rubins has harvested radishes in space claiming that producing foods in microgravity is possible. The new development has opened new prospects for sustained long-term missions to the moon and Mars in the future. Astronomers have said that radishes have been harvested in the Advanced Planned Habitat (APH) onboard the International […]

The United States is all set for a nuclear reactor on Moon. The government has given its nod to NASA to go ahead with the fission surface power project. The goal is to test a fission power system on the lunar surface by 2027. The system splits uranium atoms inside a nuclear reactor. It generates […]

Scientists have been studying a fragment of meteorite, which has been gathered after an asteroid near-crash with Earth in 2008. In the new analysis, they have shown that the parent asteroid might have been quite huge. The findings of the study show that it may have been a water holding large asteroid with a different […]

Many experts have found that something strange is happening at the closest star to the sun. Scientists have discovered that an inexplicable radio signal is coming from Proxima Centauri. The radio signal is too faint to be seen from the earth by naked eyes, said the experts. Although it is a too dim radio signal […]

The US-based space agency NASA has advanced its program to bring Mars samples back to Earth. It has just approved the Mars Sample Return multi-mission effort. It will soon begin preparation to bring the first pristine samples from the Red Planet. NASA said that it will mature critical technologies. Besides, it will take some crucial […]

Chinese lunar probe Chang’e-5 has returned rocks and soil samples from Earth’s only natural satellite. The re-entry capsule landed in Inner Mongolia. China now becomes the third country to bring lunar rocks and soil. The two countries other than China to achieve this feat are the United State and Russia. The success of Chang’e-5 also […]

A new study has found that mass extinction of land-dwelling animals such as amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds occurs in a cycle of around 27 million years. The findings of the new study coincide with the mass extermination of ocean life, which has been reported in the past. Experts have said that the mass extinction […]

A recent study has revealed that water on Mars may not be as widespread as thought previously by researchers. It said that water on Mars in the form of brines was not available in large quantities. Brine is a state of water when it is strongly impregnated with a high amount of salt. Compared to […]

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory has completed 25 years of service in space. A joint mission between the US’ NASA and the European Space Agency, the spacecraft was launched in December 1995. It keeps an eye on the Sun’s activity and tells scientists about the coronal mass ejections. The SOHO has now become the longest-operational […]

We all know that ants are well-organized little beings. These creatures are highly social and hard working. They are known for safeguarding the queen and the colony by working in a team. However, leaf-cutting ants are far more efficient in doing so. Leafcutter colonies such as Acromyrmex echinatior have millions of ants. It can be […]

Astronomers in the United States have been able to find new evidence, which says that a large size telescope can examine the oldest stars present in the universe. A team of international scientists has suggested NASA to develop a huge telescope in 2008. However, at that time, the US Space agency has dropped the idea. […]

The US space agency NASA and the European Space Agency have jointly launched a satellite that will help in monitoring the rising sea level globally. The satellite lifted off atop SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. It is named Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite. It is named in honor of Michael Freilich. Freilich served as director of the […]

The US space agency NASA is all set to undertake its mission to return samples from Mars. The declaration was made in an independent review report. It indicated that the agency is all prepared for the much-anticipated project. The Mars Sample Return project will bring pristine samples from its surface to Earth. The Red Planet […]

Taking time out from a fast-paced life to spend some time close to nature is known to be beneficial for people. As many people are being diagnosed with mental health issues, doctors have been prescribing people to go out in greenery and be close to nature for psychological benefits. Although such recommendations might be beneficial […]

The US space agency NASA had launched the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1977. It remains one of the agency’s well-traveled spacecraft into space. It has, however, been unable to communicate with Earth since March this year. The spacecraft is believed to be wandering some 11.6 billion miles away from Earth. It entered interstellar space in […]

Experts from Canada and the UK have revealed that delaying cancer treatment by just a month can lead patients to a greater risk of death due to the disease. This is a new study, which has raised alarm against deferred cancer treatment due to the COVID19 pandemic. Health experts have raised their concern saying that […]

Mars is rapidly losing its atmosphere, even faster than the Earth. The fourth planet of the solar system is losing its atmosphere to outer space. Its upper atmosphere is heating up and expanding. This is due to the global dust storms that envelope the planet. The storms are speeding up its atmosphere. The latest findings […]
