The discovery of these worlds is a crucial first step to find life beyond Earth, but the next step requires direct observation and imaging, which could be simplified with the new technique.

The researchers detected a large flare as the black hole shredded the star in a distant galaxy.

The amount of space junk — pieces of debris, both large and small — in orbit around Earth is growing in number and poses a significant challenge to the future of space exploration.

The researchers employed sophisticated techniques to extract DNA fragments from a 22,000-year-old panda specimen discovered in China.

The events that led to the formation of this deposit also changed the chemistry of the red planet's surface and atmosphere.

In a recent dating test, the new method did just as well as radiocarbon dating, which can prove unreliable on occasions.

Scientists heard the low-frequency music while analyzing the eruption of the Cotopaxi volcano in the Andes in 2015.

The shift could allow humans and animals to coexist on a crowded planet, but there could be consequences for wildlife in the future.

The new theory behind the disorderly motion could even apply to dwarf galaxies lurking around spiral galaxies like Andromeda.

Supermassive black holes are known to devour everything with their powerful gravitational tug – a fact that spelled doomed fate of the stellar body.

Gamma-ray bursts release narrow beams of electromagnetic radiation and can emit sun’s entire life’s energy in a matter of few seconds.

The researchers compared the data from NASA's Dawn mission with a new standard to determine how much organic material could be there on the surface of the planet.

Scherer and a team of researchers from Columbia University and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany worked separately to delve into the history of Antarctica, but surprisingly, they all came to the same conclusion.

The researchers observed a star which is twice as big as our sun, but a thousand times younger.

She claims her father, an Army pilot during World War II, got the vial from Armstrong, who was his friend.

The research team found these merger relics in the second set of data from ESA's Gaia space observatory, which mapped millions of stars in the Milky Way.

The survival rate of their patients was twice more than those who underwent surgeries during the American Civil War.

The research team used a past extinction event from Earth's history to show how the planet would respond to climate change.

Ever since the faint glow was first detected 20 years ago, scientists have posited multiple theories to explain how the peculiar stream of microwaves, known as anomalous microwave emission or AME, is formed.

A partial fossilized tooth of Brasilestes stardusti was discovered in Brazil just a month before musician David Bowie died in January 2016, and the mammal’s name is a tribute to Ziggy Stardust.

The dust, identified in particles collected from Earth’s atmosphere, is believed to have come from comets that came to be in the outer regions of the so-called solar nebula, where the chaotic formation of our Solar System’s planets took place.

The industrial production of beef and farmed catfish are the worst foods, in terms of their environmental impact, a study found after looking at almost a decade of data.

Musicians used this illusion in an artistic way even back in the 60s, but scientists started investigating it only decades later.

The latest findings from James Clerk Maxwell Telescope also provide new insight into the process of star-formation.

Dust storms like the one Opportunity faces at present are not surprising but infrequent on Mars. They can start out of nowhere and continue for days or maybe even months.

The researchers looked into the data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to suggest that volcanism under glacial environments might have created the flat-topped volcanic mounds found on Mars.

18 years ago, B-15 was nearly as big as the US state of Connecticut, covering 11,000 square kilometers.

This is one of the first detailed reports that reveal the true scale of plastic pollution in the Antarctic waters.

In the study, the bees demonstrated the capacity to associate nothing with zero.
