Scientists have identified six planets orbiting a nearby star “in perfect harmony” in our Milky Way galaxy. The solar system appears to be untouched by outside forces since it was created, likely billions of years ago. The rare discovery was made by observations from a pair of space telescopes – the European Space Agency’s Cheops, […]

In news which may seem underwhelming, a group of researchers from Germany, Scotland and the Czech Republic have suggested that rather than Earth being one planet dotted in a much wider cosmos, we’re actually like “an air bubble in a cake”. To put it in more scientific terms based on the academic observation: Earth’s in […]
Most of the times astronomers reported dramatic, cataclysmic events like neutron star mergers or the creation of a black hole; they are taking place light years away, typically in in another galaxy. While we can observe their destructive power through the light they emit, they have minimal impact on Earth. However, a relatively recent discovery […]

When NASA’s Cassini spacecraft turned its instruments to Saturn’s moon Enceladus, it observed plumes of ice shooting up from the moon’s surface at speeds of about 900 miles per hour (1,448 kilometers per hour). These geysers seemed to be the tendrils of a vast subsurface ocean — and made scientists curious if their fluid might carry life […]

Mini brains grown in a lab from stem cells spontaneously developed rudimentary eye structures, scientists reported in a fascinating paper in 2021. On tiny, human-derived brain organoids grown in dishes, two bilaterally symmetrical optic cups were seen to grow, mirroring the development of eye structures in human embryos. This incredible result will help us to […]
