Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Reveals A Frozen Origin Far Colder Than Our Solar System
A newly analyzed interstellar visitor has delivered one of the clearest chemical clues yet about how alien planetary systems form. Observations published in Nature Astronomy show that 3I/ATLAS contains an extraordinarily high concentration of deuterated water, pointing to an origin in a frigid environment unlike anything that shaped our own s
U.S. Navy Divers Reveal Rare Underwater Photo of Artemis’ Heat Shield, It Still in Perfect Condition
A striking image of the Artemis II heat shield, captured by US Navy divers, reveals the condition of the spacecraft’s thermal protection system after it splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10, 2026. As theArtemis II spacecraft returned from lunar orbit, attention turned to the heat shield that protected the crew during reentry into Ea
For Decades, Scientists Believed These Ancient Fossils Found in Japan Were Human, But They Are Not
For over 60 years, scientists believed they had found some of the oldest human fossils in Japan in the Ushikawa district. But a new study has completely flipped that idea on its head. The bones, which were thought to belong to an ancient human, are actually not what they seemed. The fossils were first unearthed in the late 1950s, and for deca
NASA’s TESS Reveals A Chaotic Planetary System That Defies Cosmic Order
A newly analyzed planetary system spotted by NASA’s TESS mission is challenging long-standing assumptions about how planets form and evolve, according to a study published in Science. Unlike the orderly layouts typically observed, the TOI-201 system presents a strikingly irregular architecture, offering scientists a rare window into the early
Scientists Have Just Discovered a 62-Foot Prehistoric Octopus, and It Might Have Hunted Dinosaurs
Massive octopuses, some as long as 62 feet, once roamed the oceans during the time of the dinosaurs. New fossil discoveries suggest that these gigantic invertebrates were top predators in the Cretaceous period. For years, scientists believed the oceans of the Cretaceous were dominated by huge vertebrate predators, like mosasaurs and plesiosau
NASA Shares That Thousands Of Worms Are Aboard The ISS For A Well-Defined Purpose
In a pioneering experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS), thousands of microscopic worms have been sent to space to study the effects of microgravity and radiation on biological organisms. Since April 11, the experienced ISS crew has been working with tiny creatures, each about a millimeter in length. These worms, part of an ex
Astronomers Uncover A Hidden Engine Near The Milky Way’s Black Hole
A long-standing mystery at the heart of our galaxy may finally have an answer. New findings published in Astronomy & Astrophysics reveal that a massive binary star system is likely responsible for producing the enigmatic gas clouds observed near Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole. This discovery reshapes how astronomers u
China Drilled Through 3,413 Meters of Antarctic Ice and Opened a Gateway to a Lake Frozen in Time
A narrow column of near-boiling water burned through more than three kilometers of Antarctic ice in early February, carving a clean shaft down to a lake sealed from the surface for millions of years. When the drill reached its target, China’s 42nd Antarctic expedition team had punched through 3,413 meters of ice, breaking the previous global
