NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above the Earth but, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that aliens are about to strike.Using an imaging instrument called the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts uncovered strange X and C shapes, which have been cropping up in surprising places at surprising times.The researchers found the structures dancing around the ionosphere – the area where Earth’s atmosphere meets space – and say that the discovery could help improve radio communications and space weather forecasts.The ionosphere – which sits around 50 to 400 miles (roughly 80 to 644 kilometres)...

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover took a shortcut to steer clear of a path riddled with boulders — and stumbled into a field full of stones the likes of which scientists have never seen before on the Red Planet. On its fourth campaign since landing three years ago, the tireless...

NASA Rover Discovers Strange Stones, Never Before Seen on Mars

For the first time, scientists have discovered a cave on the moon, estimated to be at least 100 meters deep. This discovery could be pivotal for establishing a permanent human base on the lunar surface, offering protection from radiation, extreme temperatures, and space weather. Researchers believe this cave is just one of potentially hundreds hidden in an “underground, undiscovered world.”

Scientists are starting to unravel the secrets to a golden pooping routine. In a new study this week, a team has found evidence that the frequency of a person’s bowel movements can affect their long-term health. They also found that the optimal timing appears to be one to two bathroom trips a day and that certain factors are associated with better pooping frequency, such as eating more fruits and veggies.

New photos from the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter give us our best look yet at a giant ravine on the Red Planet. The dark "scar" was likely birthed by a gigantic blob of magma hidden beneath a massive nearby volcano millions of years ago.

NASA scientists have discovered something of an alphabet soup in the ionosphere, the part of Earth's atmosphere that sits about 48–965 kilometers (30–600 miles) above our heads – and the finding could help improve space weather forecasts and radio communications. Shapes like this have been detected before,...

Almost 50 years after NASA opted to make Chuck Berry one of the first sounds aliens may hear from intelligent life on Earth, the space agency blasted a more contemporary music sampling into space. Missy Elliott’s debut single ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ has gotten plenty of radio play since its release in 1997, but nothing quite like this. On Friday, the song was loaded up onto NASA’s ultra powerful Deep Space Network transmitter and beamed toward Venus, making it the first hip-hop song aired in deep space.

The frozen continent of Antarctica is, paradoxically, a hotbed of volcanic activity.The ice-capped region is home to some 138 volcanoes nestled beneath the snow, 91 of which were discovered as recently as 2017.Whilst most of them are considered dormant or possibly extinct, three have erupted in recent history according to the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program: Penguin Island in 1905; Deception Island in 1970, and Mount Erebus in 1972.The latter of these is arguably Antarctica’s most famous – winning the titles of tallest active volcano on the continent – with its summit standing at 12,448 feet (3,794 metres) – and...

Seeing cosmic phenomena with the naked eye can be something of a rarity. So when one presents itself, it's a good idea to sit up and pay attention. Like the recent solar eclipse and phenomena like the Aurora Borealis seen in our skies, there's another dazzling event you'll want to take in as soon as it's possible. It's time to join the swaths of NASA scientists and astronomers waiting with bated breath to cosmic explosion that'll light up the night sky – and you don't even need a telescope to see it.
