A damaged Russian Soyuz MS-22 capsule landed back on Earth. A significant coolant leak was discovered in the capsule last December which caused by a 0.8-mill...

A new study led by researchers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) discovered microplastics in krill (Euphausia superba), a small shrimp-like crustacean, and salps (Salpa thompsoni), a gelatinous marine invertebrate. The results are published today (March 2…

NGC 253 shows the effect of powerful winds being launched in opposite directions from the center of the galaxy. Although it is a spiral like our Milky Way galaxy, NGC 253 is forming stars at a higher rate. These young massive stars and their supernova explosi…

The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged celestial object Z-229-15, which is simultaneously classified as a Seyfert galaxy, an active galactic nucleus (AGN...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have detected a new exoplanet orbiting a distant star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-4603 b is the size of Jupiter and about 13 times more massive than the solar system's bigges…

Nowadays, we understand auroras are caused by charged particles from Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind colliding with other particles in Earth's upper atmosphere. Those collisions excite the atmospheric particles, which then release light as they rela…

Appeal causes tension among artificial-intelligence stakeholders amid concern over pace of advancement

Japanese lunar exploration company ispace has sent back the first image of the Moon from lunar orbit, the company said. HAKUTO-R Mission 1 Lunar Lander reached lunar orbit on March 20 and is expected to touch down on the Moon late next month. "After last we…

A curator gingerly fastens a pointy claw bone with a thin metal wire, completing perhaps the world's biggest construction kit -- reassembling a 67-million...

Two colliding neutron stars – each the super-dense core of an exploded star – produced a burst of gravitational waves when they merged into a “supramassive” neutron star. Then two and a half hours later, they produced a fast radio burst when the neutron star …

A commercial spaceflight in May will take a Carnegie Mellon-designed rover, named Iris, to the lunar surface.

In 2017, astronomers observed the first interstellar object to pass through our solar system, naming it Oumuamua, or "messenger from afar arriving first” in Hawaiian. CNN reports that the object's trip through our solar system gave rise to a number of questio…

With a new water-based detector in Canada, scientists can now find antineutrinos that come from nuclear reactors even when they are far away.

A Pentagon official and a Harvard scientist have written a paper that explores how an alien mothership could exist in our solar system while sending "mini-probes" to explore Earth and other planets.

NASA to send 4 humans to live on Mars from June 2023 This summer, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is preparing four individuals to live on Mars on June 2023. The four “Martians” will be a part of NASA’s human exploration trip on Mars,…

A curator gingerly fastens a pointy claw bone with a thin metal wire, completing perhaps the world's biggest construction kit—reassembling a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus-Rex called Trinity.

The 340-kilogram spacecraft will be deployed by PSLV in a high Earth orbit with an orbital period of 19.7 hours.

As scientists and engineers continue to develop the capability to send humans to Mars in the near future, four humans will live the dream this summer as they...

Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is the Dolphin-Head nebula, located about 5000 light-years away from Earth towards the constellation of Canis Major.

If humanity emits the same amount of carbon as we have done so far, the Greenland ice sheet will melt irreversibly

History informs practising scientists of how and why the questions and techniques they pursue came to be privileged over others and how ideas and theories rise and fall with time. Even more importantly, a historical perspective gives us a sense of purpose and…
