A new study confirms that Earth's inner core has been rotating more slowly than usual since 2010. This mysterious "backtracking" could also end up slightly altering the planet's overall rotation, lengthening our days.

A mountain-sized asteroid nicknamed the “planet killer” will make its closest approach to Earth in over a century on Thursday.The asteroid, officially known as Asteroid (415029) 2011 UL21, will pass by Earth just after 9pm BST (4pm ET) on 27 June, travelling at nearly 26 kilometres per second.Nasa has classified the rock as a “potentially hazardous asteroid”, though it poses no danger to Earth for at least the next thousand years. According to the open-source project Space Reference, the asteroid is “comparable in size to Mount Everest” and will make a much closer approach in 2089.A free live stream of...

Experts have predicted the length of days on Earth are going to get longer and longer as time goes on.Thanks to the ever-evolving amount of research, scientists are now able to predict how life on Earth might change. Due to factors like climate change, experts believe there is a chance we are heading for a “triple whammy” extinction event within the next 250 million years.But before that happens, experts have predicted Earth's days are going to become longer and longer due to changes in the planet’s rotation.It’s a well-known fact that every 24 hours, the Earth does one full rotation...

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)...

Some truths about the Universe and our experience in it seem immutable. The sky is up. Gravity sucks. Nothing can travel faster than light. Multicellular life needs oxygen to live. Except we might need to rethink that last one. In 2020, scientists discovered a jellyfish-like parasite that doesn't have a...

Some time deep in our evolutionary past, most likely more than once, a significant amount of Neanderthal DNA became mixed in with our own, influencing everything from how we now fight illness to even our appearance.

A friendly voice we've been longing to hear is drifting back to us from interstellar space, 24 billion kilometers away (15 billion miles). Voyager 1 – the most distant human-made object to Earth – is, once again, sounding like itself on the deep space radio network, after half a year of spewing gobbledegook.

A remarkable 4,000-year-old ring-shaped stone monument has been discovered on a hill in the Greek island of Crete.
The 1,800-square-meter (19,375-square-foot) Bronze Age structure was found at the top of Papoura Hill, northwest of the town of Kastelli, and was unearthed during excavation works for a major airport project.



					
			

The site is now being investigated by archaeologists who think it may have had a ritualistic or religious purpose.
The labyrinthine structure consists of eight concentric rings of stone, 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) thick on average, with some still standing at heights of up to 1.7 meters.
The architects of the newfound structure were from...

An asteroid around the size of the Washington Monument is set to flash by Earth this month. The so-named 2024 MK asteroid will come even closer than the orbit of the moon on June 29 and is estimated to be around 394 to 885 feet in diameter. The asteroid could pass some 50,000 miles closer than the moon, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

As bristling with volcanoes as a porcupine with quills,  Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. At any given time, around 150 of the 400 or so active volcanoes on Io are erupting. It's constantly spewing out lava and gas; a veritable factory of volcanic excretions.



					
			

And, thanks to the Juno probe's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) imaging Jupiter and its surrounding environment, we now know a lot more about what a gloriously hot mess Io is.
"The high spatial resolution of JIRAM's infrared images, combined with the favorable position of Juno during the flybys,...

We've just seen concrete confirmation that galaxies could collide and grow in the early Universe.
Scientists have finally caught two blazing quasars – galaxies powered by supermassive  black holes – in the very act of merging together in the Cosmic Dawn just 900 million years after the  Big Bang.



					
			

It's the first colliding quasar pair we've found in this epoch. A time of intense cosmic formation in the wake of the Big Bang, this period should be positively riddled with merging galaxies, but previous searches have only turned up loners.
Astronomers are relieved and gratified to have finally found one –...

A detailed comparison of  COVID-19 cases has finally provided insight into why some individuals have yet to endure so much as a sniffle from a  virus that brought much of the world to its knees.



					
			

Based on an analysis of the genetic activity in the nasal tissues and blood of people with unsuccessful  SARS-CoV-2 infections, a team of researchers led by the Wellcome Sanger Institute and University College London in the UK has discovered a novel immune response that provides a robust front-line defense.
While vaccines and their boosters have radically reduced the risk of death and severe complications...

World-First Experiment Reveals Why Some People Never Get COVID-19


The last stand of the wooly mammoth was a sad, sickly affair.
On remote Wrangel Island off the north-east coast of Siberia the last of these once-majestic beasts breathed their final breaths, some 4,000 years ago. For many generations, the wooly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) had been on the decline, isolated on the island for 6,000 years. Dwindling populations led to inbreeding and a lack of genetic diversity that likely made the creatures very unwell indeed.



					
			

But surprising new research has found that this genetic bottleneck is not the reason the last of the mammoths died.
"We can now confidently reject the idea that...

Inbreeding Not to Blame For Wooly Mammoth Extinction, Surprising Study Finds


A  black hole discovered lurking in the Cosmic Dawn is just way too big to easily explain. Sitting at the center of a galaxy called J1120+0641, it tips the scales at well over a billion Suns' worth of mass.



					
			

Bigger  black holes exist all around us today. The problem is the when of J1120+0641's existence. At less than 770 million years after the  Big Bang, it's hard to figure out how the black hole had the time to gain that much mass.
We've known about the galaxy and its overstuffed black hole for more than a decade, and scientists...

Two large asteroids are set to safely pass by Earth this week, arriving just before Asteroid Day on June 30, according to a new report from the European Space Agency (ESA). Although neither poses any danger to our planet, one of the asteroids was discovered only a week ago, underscoring the importance of enhancing our ability to detect potentially hazardous objects in the vicinity of our planet.
