There’s no trait that distinguishes humans from all other mammals more clearly than the way we walk. Human habitual bipedalism – obligatory walking on two legs – has long been a defining trait of our species, as well as our ancestors as far back as 4.5 millio…

UNITED STATES: A photo shot by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from 50,000 miles (80,000 kilometres) away shows Jupiter’s moon Io in infrared light.  The image, taken on July 5 and made public by the American space agency on Wednesday, shows flowing lava and lava lake…

Scientists have found another exoplanet! Exoplanets are planets that are situated outside our solar system. This time, they've found another "Super Earth" coated in molten magma. On this planet, a year only lasts half a day.Mind-boggling, right? The planet ha…

A dust devil looks a bit like a tornado, but is weaker and rarely lasts more than about a minute. It is a twisting column of warmed air scooting across sun-heated ground, made visible by the dust that it lofts upwards. Although usually benign, occasionally du…

NASA has warned about this small yet potentially hazardous space rock, which will come extremely close to Earth today. It will be even closer than the moon.

‘I was blown away.’

The satellite will shoot radar pulses at Earth.

In a thrilling astronomical development, the world's largest "eye on the universe" -- an Optical, Infra-red, Thirty Metre Telescope (TMT) -- is fast coming up with critical help from Indian scientists, engineers and industries at its proposed locati…

It sounds surprisingly similar to dust devils on Earth, though quieter due to the thin atmosphere on Mars.

SWOT is a joint mission of NASA and the French space agency CNES to track water levels globally with much better resolution than past spacecraft.

As per a research published in the journal 'Physical Review Letters', molecular simulations run via supercomputers help better understand how water interacts.

SpaceX is slated to launch another pair of O3b mPower satellites later in 2023, and then three on a single Falcon 9 mission in 2024 to add additional capacity to the constellation.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover will soon start depositing a cache of samples that it has collected since landing last year as part of efforts to eventually return those samples to Earth.

A study of early images taken with the James Webb Space Telescope has apparently revealed previously obscured newborn stars thousands of light years away from Earth.
