Aryan Mishra’s astronomy labs are run in perpetuity by teachers and students. Villages with even a single lab have seen increased overall enrolment in schools.
NASA's Lucy put its resolution imager to use to capture the first views of the asteroids it will soon visit, namely Eurybates, Polymele, Leucus, and Orus.
The alnus ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus germanus, also known as the black stem borer, was accidentally introduced by humans from its native east Asia to North America and Europe around the beginning of the 20th century. X. germanus is a so-called ambrosia beetl…
This image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows JO204, a ‘jellyfish galaxy’ so named for the bright tendrils of gas that appear in this image as drifting lazily below JO204’s bright central bulk. The galaxy lies almost 600 million light-years …
The two oldest-known fossil skeletons of bats, unearthed in southwestern Wyoming and dating to at least 52 million years ago, are providing insight into the early evolution of these flying mammals - today represented by more than 1,400 species.

Mysterious ancient teeth found in three English counties are believed to belong to a dinosaur with scissor-like claws which roamed Britain 168 million years
Astronomers have discovered five new Fast Radio Bursts (FBRs) at 4 billion miles away after upgrading their telescope to become “one of the most powerful” in the world.
The annual Lyrid meteor shower will soon be reaching its most active period, and the low amount of moonlight might help us see a good number of shooting stars.
Physicists have recreated the double-slit experiment in time rather than space, using materials that change their optical properties in femtoseconds. This research could lead to ultrafast optical switches and advancements in time crystals and metamaterials. A…
