NASA has confirmed asteroid 2025 RL2 is approaching. The space rock measures about 70 feet wide and is racing through space at 21,613 miles per hour.
Venus and Earth formed at the same time and share similar size and composition. Yet Venus is cloaked in carbon dioxide, with temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
Scientists have discovered the phenomenon of Flexoelectricity which means bending ice generates electricity, offering fresh insight into how thunderstorms create lightning.
Scientists map the Universe’s large-scale structure quickly with Effort.jl emulator which offers accurate results faster than traditional cosmological models.
Researchers compared Kangaroo Island koalas with those in Victoria and Queensland using whole-genome sequencing. They found much more inbreeding, which could make these animals less able to cope with future threats.
The present sunspot cycle began in 2019, and experts initially forecast a mild peak in 2025. But solar maximum arrived earlier than expected and is proving far more intense.
Tira is a plains zebra, or Equus quagga. Unlike standard zebras, Tira's coat exhibits brown fur with white spots, or polka-dot markings.
Discover the irresistible charm of koalas through heart-warming pictures that capture their cuddles, playfulness and natural beauty. These cute koalas will brighten your day instantly.
NASA aims to study rocky planets similar to Earth and analyse their atmospheres for biosignatures. The James Webb Space Telescope has already examined over 100 exoplanet atmospheres.
Gold is present in seawater at unimaginably low levels. Scientists measure concentrations in femtomoles per litre, tiny beyond normal detection tools. Rivers, dust, and hydrothermal vents constantly supply trace amounts of gold.
The Moon will once again align with the Sun this September. Will India catch a glimpse of the year’s final Solar Eclipse or miss it entirely?
It is not a precious metal or rare gem, yet India calls it green gold. Discover why this humble resource carries such a powerful name.
The astronomers are ready to probe Neptune-sized exoplanets through ATREIDES, a new project designed to unravel how planetary systems form and transform.
Bamboo is more than a plant, it is culture, livelihood and innovation. This World Bamboo Day 2025 reveals why its role in our future is bigger than ever.
Dinosaurs’ extinction was caused by the Chicxulub asteroid striking Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Its fallout triggered rapid global change.
Researchers studied samples returned by Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission in 2020. The spacecraft visited the near-Earth asteroid between 2018 and 2019.
