Glaciers in East Antarctica will lose more ice in the future than previously thought, scientists reported Friday, in an alarming feedback loop where glacier meltwater is triggering even more ice loss as the planet warms.

Scientists are getting an ever-clearer picture of the undersides of deteriorating glaciers. It’s not looking good.

This striking image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures the interacting galaxy pair known as Arp-Madore 2339-661. The Arp-Madore catalog is a collection of peculiar galaxies, and this group's particular peculiarity might be odder than first meet…

When babies first start talking, their vocabulary is extremely limited. One of the first sounds babies make is "da," which could mean dad, a dog, a dot, or nothing at all.

Some 30 years ago, a young engineer named Christopher Walker was home in the evening making chocolate pudding when he got what turned out to be a very serendipitous call from his mother.

On October 28, 2023, a partial Lunar Eclipse will grace the skies of India, visible from all corners of the country. This celestial event commences at 01:05 AM and concludes at 02:24 AM, with a Sutak time from 02:50 PM to 02:24 AM on the preceding da

Scientists observed the aftermath of two galaxies that smashed together around a billion years ago. It harbors the closest supermassive black hole binary to our planet.

The Gemini South telescope observed two spiral galaxies that smashed together around a billion years ago. The aftermath harbors the closest supermassive...

Meganeuropsis permiana had a wingspan of 71 centimeters (28 inches).

The Space Coast saw a record number of launches from the two facilities with 57 in 2022. Space Launch Delta 45 commander Maj. Gen. Stephen Purdy said in January that there could be between 86 and 9…

Failure to properly dispose of the space station could result in catastrophe, the panel warns.

Nature doesn't conform to our ideas of neatly-contained categories. Many things in nature blur the lines we try to draw around them. That's true of Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system

Scientists have delved into understanding self-awareness in chickens. A recent study shows that roosters recognize themselves in a mirror.

Ask a biologist why predators don't exterminate all their prey, and part of the answer is often that there is an ongoing arms race between predators and prey, with both parties continuously evolving new ways to cheat each other.

Volcanic eruptions occurring in tropical regions (23°N/S of the equator) have been linked to abrupt disruption of global-scale climate cycles in the Indian Ocean over the last 1 million years in new research published in Geophysical Research Letters. El Niño …

Wood is the source for a brick-breaking mini robotic muscle material developed by researchers in Sweden and Germany. The material—a specially-developed hydrogel—can shape-shift, expand and contract on demand when controlled with electronic impulses of less th…

Is the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way (SagA*) spinning? And how fast? It's tricky to know how fast a black hole is spinning without an accretion disk, but astronomers can estimate using polar outflows of material streaming from the blac…

Researchers have used a special crystal to bend the trajectory of light like a black hole would, a phenomenon known as 'pseudogravity.'
