“The immediate reaction from the team was that it looked like a Bundt cake.”
The 79 A.D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried hundreds of scrolls that researchers now think they can read with artificial intelligence.
Richard Branson’s private space venture Virgin Orbit is reportedly planning for insolvency in the event it’s not able to secure new funding, according to Sky News.
A giant coronal hole, spotted Monday, is releasing rapid solar winds expected to reach Earth on March 24, causing more vibrant aurora borealis.
LONDON (Reuters) -Data from the early days of the COVID pandemic, briefly uploaded to a database by Chinese scientists, gives information on its origins, including suggesting a role for raccoon dogs in the coronavirus reaching humans, international researchers said. The virus was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019, with many suspecting a live animal market to be involved, before spreading round the world and killing nearly 7 million people to date. International researchers published a pre-print report based on their interpretation of the data on Monday, after leaks of their findings in the media last week and a meeting with the World Health Organization involving both the Chinese and international scientists.
Photos show the creature’s bright red coloring.
The Baikonur base in Kazakhstan was the cradle of the Soviet space program — and is now the center of a feud the Kremlin would rather forget.
A detailed analysis of hitherto unseen genetic data taken from the Wuhan wet market at the start of the pandemic shows that up to 13 different species of live animals were being sold, according to a preprint published late on Monday night.
Researchers just announced the discovery of the nucleobase uracil—one of the building blocks of RNA—in a sample from the asteroid Ryugu. Here's what it means.
First hibernation studies with human subjects could be feasible within a decade, a European Space Agency (ESA) researcher thinks.
The new super space telescope makes unprecedented observations of a far-off planet's atmosphere.
Scientists have spotted a relict glacier on Mars, near the equator—far from the parts of the planet where water ice is known to exist today. While this leftover glacial structure may not contain any water now, the fact that it exists where it does suggests that water ice had a more expansive footprint in the Red Planet more recently than previously believed.
Rocket Lab plans to launch two satellites early Friday morning (March 24), on a mission that includes a booster recovery at sea. Watch it live here.
Scientists say the Earth's axis tilt has changed due to melting ice caps over the last few decades.
Marine scientists with decades of experience monitoring coastal waters of Brevard County had no clue what we were looking at.
NASA engineers are making progress on the agency’s Moon rover, which could begin its lunar adventure on the rocky satellite sometime in the mid 2020s.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope team released even more dazzling new images of star-studded clusters light-years away from Earth, including Messier 14 and Messier 7.
A 5,000-mile seaweed belt lurking in the Atlantic Ocean is expected in the next few months to wash onto beaches in the Caribbean Sea, South Florida, and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt — as the biomass stretching from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico is called — contains scattered patches of seaweed on the open sea, rather than one continuous blob of sargassum. Once it washes ashore, sargassum is a nuisance — a thick, brown algae that carpets beaches, releasing a pungent smell as it decays and ensnares humans and animals who step into it.
The March 1999 rape remained unsolved for decades until a DNA breakthrough. Charles Louis Craig, 60, was arrested in California.
A Mount Shasta resident caught on film a beautiful fiery lightshow over California. Here's what it was.
