Primary school geography paints such a neat picture of the world.It tells us, for example, that there are seven continents on Earth, but the truth is far more complex.Researchers are constantly encountering lost landmasses that constitute important pieces in the puzzle of our planet’s geological past.Now, a whole new continent has been found lurking beneath the icy waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean.The discovery was made around the Davis Strait, a large stretch of water located between Canada’s Baffin Island and Greenland.The strait was formed millions of years ago when the tectonic plates between the two islands shifted, reconfiguring the...

Scientists have just discovered a brand new continent

The reality of what lies within our oceans has fascinated people since time immemorial, so it’s no wonder we’ve created countless myths about the watery depths.But step aside, Atlantis, scientists have discovered a real Lost City beneath the waves, and this one is teaming with life.The rocky, towering landscape is located west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge mountain range, hundreds of metres below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, and consists of massive walls, columns and monoliths stretching more than 60 metres (200ft) tall.To be clear, it’s not the home of some long-forgotten human civilisation, but that doesn’t make its existence...

Scientists Just Found Evidence for Hidden Passageways Under the Moon’s Surface

Strange structures up to 1,300 feet (around 400 metres) long have been discovered deep beneath the ice in Antarctica.The never-before-seen shapes were uncovered when a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dove 10 miles (17 kilometres) below the Dotson Ice Shelf, in the west of the continent, and travelled more than 600 miles (1,000 kilometres) along the underside of the ice, Live Science reports.The Dotson Ice Shelf is a 30-mile-wide (50 kilometre) chunk of floating ice which is seven times the size of New York City.It is part of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is home to glaciers that are breaking...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Several photos have been circulating online purporting to show Olympic swimmers wearing swimsuits with the message "Not a dude!" crudely emblazoned on their crotches to protest the participation of transgender athletes in the Paris Olympic games. These posts appeared online on July 28 and August 2. However, it turns out...

Has it ever crossed your mind that the moon you gaze at today is not in the same spot it was millions, thousands, or even hundreds of years ago? The idea might seem far-fetched, but science tells us that our moon is slowly, but surely, drifting away. Billions of years...

Our moon is drifting away, and Earth will never be the same without it

In what can only be described as a herculean accomplishment, a team of scientists has succeeded in bringing to the surface a long, 1,268-meter section of rocks from the Earth’s Mantle. This layer, hidden beneath the crust, forms the largest chunk of our planet. The insights gained from this...

Record-breaking hole drilled into the Earth’s mantle is a scientific goldmine

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

A23a, the world’s largest iceberg, has been astonishingly stationary north of Antarctica. Despite entering the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, it has been trapped by a Taylor Column, a rotating water cylinder formed above a seafloor bump, the Pirie Bank. This iceberg, over twice the size of Greater London, has been spinning in place, thwarting its expected drift towards warmer waters.

MERCURY might be hiding a miles-thick hoard of solid diamonds beneath its surface. Our solar system's innermost planet has puzzled scientists for decades. It has a weak magnetic field, just 1% the strength of Earth's. It has a massive core in relation to its puny size. And despite being the smallest planet in the solar system, it is the second densest.

Someone alert Elon Musk.

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...

Sunlight-photosynthesizing organisms like plants and algae have long been believed to be the Earth's original producers of oxygen. But now, researchers have found evidence of a natural O2 factory that needs neither the Sun nor the lifeforms that harness its power. The source is a chemical reaction taking place in rocks lying on the lightless seafloor thousands of feet beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, releasing what the researchers have dubbed "dark oxygen."
