New X-ray observations reveal Betelgeuse’s mysterious companion is not a collapsed stellar remnant but a young, Sun-like F-type star orbiting the massive red supergiant.
For two decades, scientists believed the cosmological constant, known as λ (lambda), was positive. That meant the Universe would keep expanding indefinitely.
Tiger sharks are powerful apex predators but crucial to ocean ecosystems, who are facing threats from overfishing and habitat loss.
Reindeer populations have declined nearly 40%, with climate change, habitat loss and overhunting threatening Arctic ecosystems and conservation efforts.
Comet Lemmon will pass approximately 55.4 million miles from Earth. It will appear low in the northwest sky after sunset.
The solar wind is a constant flow of charged particles emitted by the Sun. It pushes against a comet’s tail, which is formed from dust and gas escaping its icy nucleus.
The ISS, launched in pieces beginning in 1998, has served as a beacon of global cooperation among the United States, Europe, Japan, Canada and Russia.

Four coronal mass ejections from sunspot AR4246 are heading toward Earth, triggering auroras across northern skies and minor satellite or power disruptions.
Once common across Europe, North Africa and West Asia, the slender-billed curlew has not been officially sighted since 1995, when one was recorded in Morocco.
New models show interplanetary solar tornadoes may trigger geomagnetic storms capable of disrupting satellites, electricity networks and global communications.

SpaceX’s Starlink programme operates over 6,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, the largest satellite constellation ever built.
The waxy monkey tree frog has evolved a unique “sunscreen” to survive harsh and arid conditions. This amphibian can survive in extreme heat and climate.
What makes these meteor showers special is their occasional production of bright fireballs that can briefly light up the night.
A recent study shows a sharp rise in satellites and debris in low Earth orbit, increasing the risk of collisions and space hazards.

NASA astronaut Don Pettit’s latest photograph from the International Space Station has sparked global awe, capturing a rarely seen and stunning view of Earth’s tallest mountain.
For the first time, wild honeybees in Europe have been officially declared endangered within the European Union, this hints towards a serious warning for pollinator biodiversity and ecosystem balance across the continent.
Moments after liftoff, the Super Heavy booster separated from Starship in a hot-staging sequence. The massive booster then began its planned descent toward the Gulf of Mexico.
During the 8 April 2024 total solar eclipse, scientists observed dramatic bird behaviour changes using citizen science and AI, revealing how sudden darkness affects species differently.
After twenty-five years of study, scientists have discovered how the greater noctule bat, Europe’s largest bat, hunt birds mid-air. Researchers shed light on their rare feeding strategies and crucial conservation.
Europe’s first Mars rover, the Rosalind Franklin, is closer to launch as the Enfys instrument is sent from Aberystwyth University to Italy for testing.

A study finds juvenile great tits (Parus major) learn crucial survival skills mainly from siblings and non-parental adults, highlighting social learning’s role in bird behaviour and conservation.
Clouds might look like cotton candy, but they are made of tiny water droplets or ice crystals floating in the air. Here is all you need to know about why do clouds look fluffy and how are they formed.
Oceans are salty because rivers carry minerals like sodium and chloride from rocks on land, gradually adding salt over millions of years. Here’s all you need to know about why the sea tastes salty and how it affects life beneath the waves.
