It may take a while to get there, but it seems that the prospect of a space hotel is not that far off as a Russian company announces plans to build an orbiting hotel 217 miles above Earth.

When a team of geologist unearthed 3.4-billion-year-old fossils, the microfossils preserved in the form of tiny circles and tubes meant much more than mere discovery of the oldest fossils on earth.

NASA's satellite captures Irene from space and shows how it grew from a tropical storm to a hurricane.

The oldest known fossils on earth have been discovered by a team of British and Australian geologists in the Australian Outback, giving clues about the origin of life on earth and hinting that similar lifeforms could exist on other planets like mars.

Researchers have discovered fossils of microbial organisms that were living on Earth 3.4 billion years ago. Earth's oldest fossils have been found in Australia by a team from the University of Western Australia and Oxford University. The microscopic fossils show convincing evidence for cells and bacteria living in an oxygen-free world over 3.4 billion years ago.

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MES) Opportunity, which recently reached the Red Planet's Endeavor crater, sent back interesting snapshots of the planet's crust.

Predictions of extraterrestrials invading Earth to destroy our civilization and save the rest of the universe, attributed to NASA, have been disavowed by their author.

Astronomers who have been searching for extraterrestrial intelligence for decades are suddenly saying such an encounter might not be a happy one.

A study that evaluates sci-fi scenarios for extraterrestrial encounters, published in the journal Acta Astronautica, said that E.T. could decide whether we're a threat to intergalactic order and may try to kill us. At the heart of these scenarios is the possibility that intrinsic value may be more efficiently produced in our absence, the researchers wrote.

The oldest known fossils on earth, discovered in Australia, suggest that similar sulfur-based forms of life could exist on other planets like mars where oxygen levels are low or no existent.

Getting hints from the remainder of 3.4-billion-year-old rocks, a team of geologists have unearthed possibly the oldest known fossils ever, which may unfold the mysteries around the early development of life on Earth. v

By now some of you must have head about a study from researchers affiliated with NASA and Pennsylvania State University called Would Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or Harm Humanity? A Scenario Analysis.

Those same questions seems to have puzzled researchers affiliated with NASA and Pennsylvania State University, who conducted a study on the topic called Would contact with extraterrestrials benefit or harm humanity? They said their scenario analysis serves as a step toward developing a comprehensive strategy for responding to contact with (extraterrestrials).

For the first time, NASA researchers have mapped the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.

Humans aren't just threatening the earthly inhabitants, but we may have become a threat to the entire universe, possibly prompting aliens to destroy humanity in order to end global warming.

A report rolled out by one of NASA’s scientists has suggested that the Earth's rising levels of greenhouse gases could provoke an alien attack.

In a letter sent to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, PETA has urged the sending of only vegan flights during any future SpaceX missions to Mars.

In a bid to track future sea-level increases from climate change, researchers at NASA have come out with the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a live 3D video of inside International Space Station (ISS) for the first time in the history of space travel.

The map, which will be beneficial for tracking future sea-level increase from climate change, provides the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica. It shows glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast, NASA said.

Researchers have seen for the first time the inner workings of coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, from its leaving the surface of the sun to its engulfing the Earth.
