Dinosaurs as big as buses or five-story buildings would not be possible if their bones were dense and heavy like ours.

Earth’s surface is the “living skin” of our planet – it connects the physical, chemical, and biological systems. Over geological time, landscapes change

Deflecting asteroids in the future should not be a task, thanks to NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission

Comet C/2023 A3 is likely to make its closest approach to the Sun — known as perihelion — on September 28, 2024, and its closest approach to Earth on October 13, 2024.

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day is an image highlighting the problem of Light pollution at night around the world. Yes, there is such a thing as light pollution.

Salt could have a big role to play in the energy transition.

The international study, carried out by more than 60 researchers, quantified rises and declines in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations from 2015 to 2020.

A new study has shown that bumblebees pick up new “trends” in their behavior by watching and learning from other bees, and that one form of behavior can spread rapidly through a colony even when a different version gets discovered. The research, led by Queen …

Asteroid 2023 DQ has been observed speeding towards Earth at a fearsome 82234 kilometers per hour by NASA.

Scientists who trained bees to open a puzzle find that they pass the knowledge on to their colonies.

The company is making its final preparations for the first orbital test flight of Starship, the powerful vehicle that NASA has contracted for its Artemis moon missions and that Musk aims to use to send humans to Mars one day.

An asteroid which was discovered late last month has a “very small chance” of impacting Earth on Valentine’s Day in 2046, NASA said on Tuesday, as astronomers worked to gather more data. 2023 DW was first discovered in Chile at the end of February and – after…

The hidden primordial black hole formed just 750 million years after the Big Bang and may be the 'tip of the iceberg.'

A team of international researchers led by Dr. Florian Peißker at the Institute of Astrophysics at the University of Cologne has discovered a newly forming star near the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, located at the center of the Milky Way. The newl…

Researchers are coming to understand that the best performing materials in sustainable energy applications, such as converting sunlight or waste heat to electricity, often use collective fluctuations of clusters of atoms within a much larger structure. This p…

High up in the canopy of the Brazilian rainforest, clinging unsteadily to its mother's back, a wild newborn bearded capuchin monkey with a non-functioning left leg was beating the odds. Observations of the disabled infant monkey and his mother gave researcher…

About 10,000 years ago, a giant star exploded in the constellation Vela, leaving behind a dense object called a pulsar that appears to brighten regularly as it spins, like a cosmic lighthouse.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft, a long-term lodger on the planet, captured an "unusual" image circular shapes.

The National Science Foundation zooms in on the tattered scraps of SN 185, which appeared over our planet 1,800 years ago and was the first supernova ever recorded in Earth's skies.

A pilot project has estimated emissions and removals of carbon dioxide in individual nations using satellite measurements.

The Mars Sample Return mission is an ambitious endeavor that could see Martian geological specimens returned to Earth to search for signs of life on the Red Planet.

A team of astronomers from Japan have found a strange "Tadpole" shaped dust cloud near the center of our galaxy, and concluded that it orbits a intermediate-mass black hole.
