+13 +2Prehistoric Rock Art Depicting Now-Extinct Animals Discovered in Colombia
One year ago, a team of British-Colombian researchers that was funded by the European Research Council came upon a remarkable discovery in the Serranía de la Lindosa, an extremely remote part of the Colombian Amazon. The discovery is a remarkably monumental example of prehistoric art: a nearly eight-mile stretch of paintings of both humans and mysterious animals that spans a steep cliffside, and which has been referred to as the “Sistine Chapel of the ancients.”

+22 +4Scientists Discover Billions of Gallons of Hidden Freshwater off Hawaii Coast
The island communities like Hawaii, which are surrounded by Ocean water, have to rely on collecting freshwater stored in the ground for drinking, irrigation, and commercial industries. The American state located in the Pacific Ocean is at serious risk due to climate-driven droughts and less rainfall. But scientists found a new way to solve the problem.

+22 +2Scientists find hidden ‘super planet’ in breakthrough observation
Astronomers have discovered a cold brown dwarf – otherwise known as a “super planet” – for the first time using a radio telescope. Brown dwarfs are vast, sized between 15 and 75 times the mass of Jupiter, and have gaseous atmospheres similar to some of the planets in our solar system. They are also often known as “failed stars” because of the way that they shine.

+13 +2Curiosity rover finds evidence of ancient megafloods on Mars
Previous images of large channels on Mars and giant wave-like features on its surface called “megaripples” indicate that the planet suffered from catastrophic floods in the past. Now, a team of scientists has used data gathered by the Curiosity rover to prove that megafloods swept across the Gale crater around 4 billion years ago. “We identified megafloods for the first time using detailed sedimentological data observed by the rover Curiosity,” said Alberto G. Fairén, co-author of the paper published by Nature. “Deposits left behind by megafloods had not been previously identified with orbiter data.”

+19 +5‘Fossil galaxy’ found hidden in the Milky Way
A "fossil galaxy" has been found hidden inside of our Milky Way. The discovery of the long-dead galaxy could change our understanding of the history of the Milky Way, and how it became the vast web of stars that surrounds us today. The fossil, known as Heracles, is thought to have collided with the Milky Way 10 billion years ago, when our galaxy was still at a very young age.

+30 +5Sun-Like Star Identified As the Potential Source of the Wow! Signal
The Big Ear Radio Telescope in Delaware, Ohio, was disassembled in 1998 having operated for over 30 years. It was replaced by a golf course. Big Ear was never the world’s biggest radio telescope, nor its most sensitive. But Big Ear nevertheless made one of the most famous observations in the history of astronomy, one that till this day has never been explained.

+2 +1Scientists find more bright blasts of energy coming from space – and they’re getting closer to knowing where they are coming from
Scientists have detected two bright radio bursts from a magnetar in our galaxy, as they get closer to discovering the source of the blasts. Earlier this month, scientists discovered that fast radio bursts were coming from the object, in a major breakthrough in the search for the source of those mysterious blasts of energy. It was the first time an FRB had been detected coming from inside our Milky Way, and also the first time such a blast had been traced back to a particular source.

+17 +2Scientists discover bizarre hell planet where it rains rocks and oceans are made of lava
If you thought living on Earth in 2020 was comparable to hell, planet K2-141b is here to prove you wrong. On the scorching hot planet, hundreds of light-years away, oceans are made of molten lava, winds reach supersonic speeds and rain is made of rocks. Scientists have referred to the bizarre, hellish exoplanet as one of the most "extreme" ever discovered.

+3 +1This Breakthrough Could Fix the Fatal Flaw in Fusion Reactors
In the long road to nuclear fusion, scientists continue to confront one of the more prominent (and literal) bumps: edge localized modes (ELMs). These blobs form at the edge of a tokamak’s plasma swirl, caused by the interaction of the powerful, containing magnetic field and the sun-hot plasma.
