The sturdy Parker Probe has returned some really useful data after reaching the Sun's atmosphere.
Like a dragon, a distant star belched a stream of flaming hot gas of a planetary scale.
Epilepsy is an odd beast. It can affect people of all ages and ethnicities. It can be caused by a variety of underlying issues, such as head trauma, or sometimes the person can just be a victim of hereditary happenstance. Sometimes, there is no apparent reason for it whatsoever. It’s just there. Adding to that, […]
Solar wind may have primed comets and asteroids to release their water, researchers found.
TRUTHS measurements will allow changes in Earth’s climate to be detected faster
... and honestly, we like this report.
The carrot may be better than the stick when rallying support for policies that tackle climate change.
Just months after completing its first human space flight, Blue Origin has announced plans to build and operate a new space station to be operational by the late 2020s. The timeline is ambitious since the company has yet to put a manned flight in orbit, but Blue Origin swears by its plan. Coined “Orbital Reef,” […]
Let’s face it, Americans have never been famous for their healthy diets and slender physiques. Now a new study out of New York University published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that the diet of the average United States citizen is including more ultra-processed foods than ever. Ultra-processed foods are defined as […]
Thanks to some Austrian salt mines, scientists have been able to learn more about Iron Age diets. Some of those findings have revealed that the ancient Europeans had diets that resembled a few things you might find at your Super Bowl party. The study published in the journal Current Biology discovered ancient fecal samples in […]
The signals don't match any known source. It could be an entirely new cosmic object.
The magnetic connection of the stars and unseen orbiting planets tipped off the astronomers.
Good news for the captain.
This could be a game changer for space travel.
Well, at least this much is clear: NASA’s propulsion system for its Psyche spacecraft looks a lot cooler than previous probes. The thrusters (known as Hall thrusters) emit a futuristic blue glow. The thrusters will be reliant on solar arrays that convert sunlight into electricity and will carry the probe 1.5 billion miles (2.4 billion […]
VIPER will look for water ice on the Moon, helping to establish a human presence in the future.
Four amateur astronauts became the first all-civilian crew to reach orbital space.
The toll of the World Trade Center attacks echoes to this day.

Hubble does not disappoint.
Peptides causing migraines also affect insulin production, according to a new study.
Although they're much larger and hotter than Earth, these Hycean worlds may have oceans that could host microbial life.
The Russians apparently have been unintentionally playing the galactic version of bumper cars. It has been reported that the Chinese satellite Yunhai 1-02 broke apart into several pieces in March after it whacked into space junk from part of a Russian Zenit-2 rocket. Harvard astronomer Jonathan McDowell spotted the wreckage recently in a data log […]
A fluid dynamics model explains what happens to potentially harmful particles during handwashing.
A new review of eight existing studies published in the journal Environmental Research Letters has found that livestock farms and feedlots in North America may be emitting far more methane than previously assumed. The researchers from New York University and Johns Hopkins University found that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — which estimates methane from […]
World Penguin Day is upon us. Pioneered at McMurdo Station — an American Research center on Ross Island in Antarctica — to raise awareness and inform the public more about the plights of flightless birds, it has been embraced by environmentalists all over the globe. Scientists noticed that April 25 was the specific day on […]

The sky crane touchdown system was a huge wager for NASA that paid off.
In a while, crocodile -- said the dinosaur. Because they were living in the same era.
If galaxies were human, GN-z11 would want you to get off its lawn.
Mothballed on NASA’s shelves were the plans to view stars 13 billion years in the past. Now, a group of astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin want to dust off ideas for a moon-based telescope and try to put them to good use. The project was first tabled more than a decade ago […]
The poor stay poorer.
Geologists mimicked conditions in soil from Mars and found growing plants could prove difficult.
