Tamil Nadu-born climate scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan has won the prestigious 2026 Crafoord Prize in Geosciences for his pioneering research on super-pollutants and atmospheric processes that shape Earth’s climate.
Every 5th February is celebrated as Western Monarch Day in California mostly. The Western Monarch Day draws attention to a growing environmental crisis. Scientists warn that western monarch butterflies are rapidly disappearing.
An Indian mountaineer has conquered South America’s highest peak, adding another summit to her daring global mission, but the journey ahead promises even tougher climbs and greater challenges.
Deep inside Indonesia’s forests, a rescued python stunned experts by stretching longer than any wild snake ever verified, raising new questions about hidden giants, human conflict, and fragile habitats.
A giant reticulated python named Ibu Baron has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the longest wild snake ever measured. Stretching over 23 feet, the discovery highlights Indonesia’s rich wildlife.
She ran nearly 480 km across five Himalayan passes with thinning air and freezing nights. Now officially recognised, her Manali–Leh run raises one question: how far can endurance really go?
Scientists have recorded rare footage of a giant phantom jellyfish off Argentina’s coast. The deep-sea creature, with arms as long as a bus, highlights how much of Earth’s oceans remains unexplored.
A new scientific study reveals that life recovered much faster than expected after the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. Using space dust and microfossils, researchers traced rapid evolution just thousands of years after the impact.
As space missions grow longer and bolder, scientists warn that human reproduction beyond Earth is no longer hypothetical, raising urgent medical, ethical and policy questions humanity is unprepared to answer.
In South India’s Western Ghats, a female king cobra performs a rare reptile ritual, building a towering leaf nest and guarding dozens of eggs, defying everything known about snakes.
A rare six-planet parade will dazzle the evening sky in February 2026. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter will appear together after sunset. Here’s when, where and how to watch this stunning celestial event.
After 50 years of assumptions, fresh data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveals Jupiter is slightly smaller and flatter, prompting scientists to rethink what they truly know about the gas giant.
India braces as the Sun unleashes powerful flares, threatening satellites, communications, and power grids. ISRO monitors over 50 satellites, warning of potential blackouts, while scientists watch for the next volatile solar outburst.
Scientists discover 97-million-year-old magnetic fossils that reveal how ancient animals used Earth’s magnetic field as a natural GPS for navigation.
A colour-changing lake born from a meteor impact keeps baffling scientists, blending space science, ancient myths, and rare life forms, raising one lingering question about Earth’s hidden mysteries.
A viral park warning revived myths about psychedelic toads, but scientists say licking them brings danger, conservation risks, and medical emergencies, while researchers quietly study the drug’s strange potential.
Across India’s deserts, scientists trace a vanished river linked to Saraswati, where satellite clues, buried channels, and ancient settlements raise fresh questions about climate change, civilisation collapse, and myth history.
He once let an anaconda try to eat him on television. Now Paul Rosolie reveals an even closer brush with death that reshaped his views on snakes and conservation.
Once Australia sent soldiers with machine guns against emus. The birds scattered, survived, and outlasted the operation, leaving one question lingering: how did wildlife defeat the military?
NASA’s Artemis 2 crew will orbit the Moon for 10 days, yet they hope history barely remembers them, believing what comes after will matter far more for humanity.
Europe plans to crash a satellite on purpose in 2027. Named Draco, the mission will watch a spacecraft burn from inside, raising questions about space debris and future orbits.
NASA quietly let a Mars rover think for itself in December 2025. Behind this shift stands Vandi Verma, whose work hints at how future missions may explore worlds alone.
For decades, a single whale’s strange 52-hertz call has baffled scientists, raising haunting questions about its identity, origins, and whether its lonely voice is ever heard in the vast Pacific.
Scientists have developed a revolutionary water filter that removes toxic “forever chemicals” up to 100 times faster than traditional methods. The breakthrough could reshape global water safety and public health.
NASA has delayed the first crewed Artemis II mission from February to March 2026. A recent Wet Dress Rehearsal revealed minor issues, including a hydrogen leak. Teams are now fixing problems and preparing for a historic Moon orbit launch.
