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

The Moon is a constant in the night sky, but all is not actually as it seems. It turns out that scientists have discovered the Moon is drifting away from Earth, and it’s changing everything we thought we knew about our planet’s relationship with its only natural satellite. It’s also having a very real impact on the length of days on our planet – albeit at an incredibly slow rate. By moving away from Earth over the course of millions of years, the Moon is simultaneously making the length of the average day longer.A study by a team at the...

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.

The light from the most distant galaxy in the known universe suggests that there's something off about our current cosmological models, a new James Webb Space Telescope study finds. The explanations remain elusive.

Mars mystery deepens: NASA rover stumbles upon rock with signs of possible life

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...

NASA’s Mars rover may have found the first possible signs that life existed on the Red Planet billions of years ago. An arrowhead-shaped rock has been identified that appears to contain chemical signatures and structures formed by microbial life. The 3.2ft by 2ft rock was discovered by the Perseverance...

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...

 Nasa may have found evidence of past alien life on Mars.The space agency says that its rover, Perseverance, has found a rock that might once have been host to microbial life, billions of years ago.A host of notable traits found on the rock suggest that it is possible that it is evidence that there is life on the red planet. Researchers say that it is filled with organic compounds, shows that water once flowed through it, and is marked with specks of the kind that on Earth usually signal life.The Perseverance rover has used onboard instruments to examine the...

NASA released stunning images to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Chandra X-ray Observatory launch. The Chandra team shared an image of a galaxy that has never been witnessed before — it’s a spiral galaxy in the Pavo (Peacock) constellation. Chandra has collected nearly 25,000 images “over its time in space,” USA Today reported. It “observed the cosmic objects for up to thousands of hours,” and “it took the telescope 64 days of observation time and 370 observations over the course of 20 years to capture an image of the Milky Way’s center, about 26,000 light-years away from earth,” per USA Today. The images from the observatory have “helped scientists learn more about dark matter, dark energy and dark holes,” according to CBS News.

NASA has been using X-rays to crack the invisible secrets of the universe for decades. The Einstein Observatory pioneered X-ray astronomy in the late '70s, but the crown jewel of this science field is the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which has been in space for the last 25 years. Here are...

In an exciting breakthrough for astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life, a team of international scientists has announced the discovery of Gliese 12 b, a temperate, Earth-sized exoplanet just 40 light-years away — a relatively neighbourly 378 trillion kilometres from earth.

Researchers from across the world, including key support from researchers at McGill University and Western University worked collaboratively on the hunt for Gliese 12 b within InfraRed Doppler Subaru Strategic Program (IRD-SSP) which searches for habitable zone planets around red dwarfs.

The international team detected the planet’s presence using a combination of advanced telescopes and observational techniques and its discovery...

Could We Turn Mars Into Another Earth? Here’s What It Would Take to Terraform the Red Planet

It seems that we're finally locating at least some of the Universe's 'missing' black holes. A cluster of stars called IRS 13 near the center of the galaxy seems to harbor a black hole in its midst. Moreover, the way these stars swarm and orbit suggest that the black hole is a rarity – one in the middleweight mass range, between those that have a star-like mass and the supermassive monsters.
