NASA has spotted the youngest planet every found in the solar system. This breakthrough has achieved by the American space agency's planet-hunting spacecraft Kepler.
A team of researchers from the University of Texas Austin has discovered an eyeless catfish from deep inside a cave in Texas. The blind fish is of keen interest to the researchers as the rare and unusual species has been recovered from a totally new area for the fish to inhabit ever.
Today, Antarctica is the same as it was nearly four million years ago when it comes to the carbon dioxide levels. That is, for the first time in the last four million years, carbon dioxide level has broken the 400 parts per million (PPM) barrier in the Antarctic.
NASA's glory is not just restricted to space missions and sending rovers and robots to examine the worlds of different planets in the universe. But it also masters at exploring the frontiers close to Earth.
A team of scientists has discovered traces of oxygen in a galaxy located billions of years away. To be precise, the galaxy in which the oldest molecule of oxygen has been discovered is located 13.1 billion light years away.
Astronaut Scott Kelly returned to Earth after spending more than one year in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The astronaut recently opened up about the effect that space has on the human body.
The American space agency NASA is currently hiring farmers who can bring their farming practices to Mars. In addition to farmers, NASA is also looking for teachers, explorers and surveyors.
The first of its own kind of “extinct” meteorite has been recovered from a Swedish limestone quarry that manufactures floor tiles. The meteorite is considered to be a remnant of a bigger object that must have been destroyed in the past and does not exist in the universe any more.
History has been created yet again. A team of scientists at the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Waves Observatory (LIGO) has discovered signs of gravitational waves. The breakthrough has been achieved for the second time in 2016.
A team of astronomers has made an exciting discovery by spotting a planet that has two stars. This Tatooine-like planet with two suns is present within the Cygnus Constellation and has been discovered with the help of the Kepler Space Telescope.
A team of astronomers has discovered a strange molecule in interstellar space, located thousands of light years away, but within the Milky way galaxy. This molecule is expected to solve the biggest mysteries about life on Earth.
NASA's Curiosity rover has been doing a great job ever since it landed on the surface of the red planet. The rover has now discovered evidence of volcanic activity on the surface of planet Mars.
There is an exoplanet that spins around its sun at an enormous speed and takes only 11 hours to complete an orbit. Unfortunately, the same exoplanet is being killed by its own host star.
The Great Barrier Reef has lost much of its corals. Mass coral bleaching due to climate change damaged around 93 percent of the pristine coral reefs that pushed the Australian government to sanction $1 billion to protect the world heritage site.
The glow of light pollution prevents 80 percent of the North Americans from seeing the Milky Way galaxy in the night sky. These are the findings of a new study conducted by a team of researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
