The presence of a very high energy neutrino, a particle – “ghost”, which was created during the destruction of a star by colossal gravity, a black hole with a mass of 30 million suns, scientists have discovered on Earth. The event, 700 million years old, shortly before the first animals appeared on our planet...

Scientists just broke the record for the coldest temperature ever measured in a lab: They achieved the bone-chilling temperature of 38 trillionths of a degree above -273.15 Celsius by dropping magnetized gas 393 feet (120 meters) down a tower.

A mega-comet—potentially the largest ever discovered—is heading from the Oort Cloud towards our direction. Estimated to be 100–200 kilometers across, the unusual celestial wanderer will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2031. However, the closest it will come to Earth is to the orbit of Saturn.

Accidentally released on a Finnish island 30 years ago, the parasites are spreading.

Lucy is on a mission to see seven Trojan asteroids up close.

Whistler mode chorus waves are electromagnetic emissions common in planetary magnetospheres. Among other impacts, their scattering of magnetospheric electrons is one driver for the formation of auroras. An important attribute of these waves is frequency chirping, in which the frequency of the emission rises or falls nearly monotonically with time.

Venus may be a sweltering wasteland today, but scientists have questioned whether the planet was always so inhospitable. While previous studies suggested Venus might have once been covered in oceans, new research has found the opposite: Venus has likely never been able to support oceans.

The infamous Indian Point nuclear plant, located roughly 30 miles north of Manhattan, shut down earlier this year. To many, the shutdown was a victory following decades of protests about safety and environmental concerns. Here’s the problem: When operating, Indian Point provided more electricity than is produced annually by all solar and wind in New York state.

John Michell isn't a name most of us know, but that's only because he was so far ahead of his contemporaries that they couldn't recognize his brilliance.

Ninety-year-old William Shatner, who gained fame portraying Captain Kirk on the original "Star Trek," just hitched a ride aboard a suborbital spacecraft that grazed the edge of outer space before parachuting to a landing, making Shatner the oldest person ever to travel to space.

Astronomers have discovered unusual signals coming from the direction of the Milky Way's center. The radio waves fit no currently understood pattern of variable radio source and could suggest a new class of stellar object.

NASA has devised a plan to ensure the volcano underneath Yellowstone remains dormant in order to prevent a possible natural disaster.

"Our goal is clear: To accelerate the development of innovation."

The 2.5 metre-long robot, which is worth up to $7million and has "skin" made from medical-grade silicone, is unveiled by the company that built the aquatic creatures for Hollywood blockbusters Free Willy, Deep Blue Sea and Anaconda.

An alert was published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which warned the geomagnetic storm could cause power grid fluctuations with voltage alarms at higher latitudes, where the Earth is more exposed.

For now, our anomalously large Moon is spinning away from us at a variable rate of 3.8 centimeters per year. But, in fact, the Earth and Moon may be on a very long-term collision course --- one that incredibly some 65 billion years from now, could result in a catastrophic lunar inspiral.

A ruptured pipeline spewed crude oil into the Pacific Ocean, and it may foul ecosystems for years to come.

The Earth’s core consists of two parts: a solid inner iron core with a radius of 1,220 kilometers (slightly smaller than the Moon), and the outer core, a 2,500-kilometer-thick molten iron shell. The depth, pressure and temperatures of the core do not make it possible to access it by any technical means. That is why there are many questions both about its composition and its mechanisms.

"We're definitely in the right place." There's an air of relief in the science team running the American space agency's (Nasa) Perseverance rover on Mars. The researchers are sure now they've sent the robot to a location that provides the best possible opportunity to find signs of ancient life.

Images from Nasa's Perseverance rover show it's in a great place to find traces of ancient microbes.
