The concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been increasing dramatically for at least the past 800,000 years. Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are at a record high. Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that ...
Chile is experiencing one of the worst droughts in recent memory, with declining rainfall and water supplies becoming a major issue. Recent data shows Chile is experiencing its worst drought in almost 1000 years. The cause for this crisis might ...
In their search for alien life, which just has to exist, giving the unfathomable enormity of the Universe, scientists had been looking at exoplanets after a precise pattern. Since Earth is the only planet scientists know for sure that’s inhabited, ...
Many people don’t like to admit it, but plenty of animals and insects are able to do things that our species can’t. It’s also available for ants, as the little creatures can build astonishingly complex structures. The underground “cities” that ...
Have you ever wondered about the most amazing wonders that are present in our solar system? If so, then this article will be of great interest to you as it lists some amazing structures that have been discovered by astronomers ...
Not all black holes remain in their usual position in the center of galaxies. Some supermassive black holes do wander around the Universe, and now researchers have a chance to locate them more effortlessly than before. “Unlike most other currently ...
Mars is not what you would expect an alien planet to be like. It has a thick atmosphere with much carbon dioxide, but it also has water ice at its poles and an unexplored interior with pockets of very intense ...
NASA made public an amazing discovery of the Hubble Space Telescope – It captured an image of a so-called “jewel-bright” spiral galaxy, which is located approximately 68 million light-years from our planet. NASA and the ESA worked together on obtaining ...
Scientists May Have Finally Found the Reason Why the Geminid Asteroid Has a Peculiar Comet-Like Tail
The near-Earth asteroid 3200 Phaethon is very special for many reasons. One of its highlights is the fact that it gets brighter as it gets near to the Sun, though it doesn’t have any ice reserves that normally produce that ...
Half a billion people are relying on coral reefs for food. This can only mean that the marine creatures are astonishingly important for the environment. Corals are fascinating, but they still provide surprises for researchers. According to Gizmodo, a roughly ...
Black holes are sometimes called “the ultimate monster of the cosmos”—an In. They formed when the density of matter in the Universe was at its highest—and thus, they become very dangerous for any object in their vicinity. Black holes are ...
Fossils represent fantastic learning tools for researchers, allowing them to take a look into the past. For this reason, the scientific community was glad to discover three new species of mammals from ancient time. The discovery was made in the ...
Chimps are well-known to possess traits that are very similar to human behaviour. But sometimes, the resemblances become overwhelming, even for scientists. After a new study, researchers are amazed to discover that chimps and bonobos are showings greetings signs of ...
Long ago, when there was no trace of a human being on Earth, a huge asteroid hit our planet with a devastating force. It left behind a giant crater of roughly 25,450 km² that scientists can explore even today while ...
Asteroid Bennu is a giant in the sky that might represent a danger for future generations of humans. According to scientists, Bennu is expected to come near our planet by the year 2300, and according to many estimations, there is ...
Roughly 8.7 million species currently exist on Earth. It means that the amount of information about them wouldn’t most probably fit in the brain of an average person. There probably are even more species undiscovered, which makes the scenario even ...
Our Sun is estimated to be about 4.6 billion years old. That estimate was formed via models of Sun-like stars, plus observations of comparable stars. However, scientists also know that the Sun became hotter as time passed, and estimates suggest ...
The Solar System continues to be a limitless place of wonders for astronomers. Saturn’s moon Titan has captured the attention of NASA for quite some time. The natural satellite of the gas giant even possesses all the elements necessary for ...
Over the last century, Atlantic currents have not been stable, and in fact, they have lost their system-like property of stability. The recent study analysing that was posted in Nature Climate Change. Based on data about the salinity and the ...
New details are being made public regarding a technical issue that prevented Boeing and NASA from performing a test launch for the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft last week. The problem seems to be more grave than previously thought, leading to doubt ...
Botanists from the University of British Columbia and the University of Wisconsin have all the reasons to be proud of themselves. These folks have discovered in North America a new carnivorous plant known as Triantha occidentalis. The plant makes its ...
Researchers have recently obtained a lost fragment of Stonehenge that was taken back in 1958. Back in 1958, Robert Philips used to be the representative of a drilling company that was working on the restoration of Stonehenge. While the monument ...
Scientists are worried about a possible devastating impact on our planet. Their concerns are tied to the Gulf Stream, as the current poses a risk of collapsing. The stream remains one of the main potential tipping points when it comes ...
Habitable planets surely are there, somewhere, waiting for us. Our common sense tells us that Earth cannot be the only one in such a vast amount of space. But until astronomers ever find those fully habitable planets, learning more about ...
New observations using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have provided a wealth of data on a system of Neptune-sized planets around the star L 98-59. Researchers found a planet that is half as massive as Venus—a record-breaking low for this ...
