NASA is set to launch four astronauts on Artemis II, a 10-day crewed mission around the moon marking humanity's farthest spaceflight in 54 years and a critical step toward lunar surface landing before China.
NASA's Curiosity rover detected 21 organic molecules in a Martian rock, including seven never before found on Mars and nitrogen-bearing structures related to RNA/DNA precursors, suggesting potential signatures of ancient microbial life.
Scientists have traced a high-energy neutrino traveling 11 billion light-years to its source in a dusty starburst galaxy nicknamed 'Shadow Blaster,' advancing understanding of cosmic particle origins.
An audit reveals NASA's canceled Artemis hardware contracts totaled $5.9 billion, with significant cost overruns including a stage adapter that took 13 years and $500 million to develop.
A Organização Meteorológica Mundial admite que a atual onda de calor na Europa pode ser um evento recorde, afetando 150 milhões de pessoas com temperaturas acima de 35°C.
Former Starlink employees have launched a new startup aimed at expanding access to megaconstellation satellite ownership beyond SpaceX's dominance in the space internet market.
NASA is spending $30 million to save the 22-year-old Swift Observatory from falling out of orbit using an untested spacecraft called Link, developed in under a year by Katalyst Space. The mission launches June 30 to reboost the unique gamma-ray burst detector before atmospheric drag pulls it from space.
NASA's TESS spacecraft identified two extraordinarily low-density gas giants nicknamed 'cotton candy' planets, representing the lightest such worlds ever discovered and offering insights into planetary formation.
A two-week marine biology expedition in international waters off Brazil discovered 31 new species using cutting-edge technology, potentially setting a record for rapid species identification in ocean midwater exploration.
SpaceX secured an $843 million NASA contract to build a spacecraft that will deorbit the International Space Station into the Pacific Ocean, though experts raise concerns about potential marine ecosystem impacts.
Research reveals how birds modify their songs in response to habitat changes, demonstrating behavioral adaptation to environmental conditions.
Sea anemones demonstrate an unconventional antiviral defense strategy that operates differently from human immune responses, offering potential insights for medical research.
Seismic analysis reveals evidence of extensive magma systems within Mars' crust, suggesting the planet had more complex geological activity than previously understood.
New scientific research suggests Uranus and Neptune may contain magma oceans rather than being traditional ice giants, challenging decades of astronomical understanding about these distant planets.
ESA's Euclid space telescope captured a record-breaking image of the Milky Way's central bulge containing 60 million stars, providing a crucial reference map for future exoplanet detection missions using gravitational microlensing techniques.
Pokémon GO launches the Ozone Ascent event featuring Mega Rayquaza as a top-tier attacker, accessible to solo players without requiring multiplayer cooperation.
A scientist has won a $100,000 prize for developing technology to decode and understand birdsong, advancing animal communication research.
A Chilean planetary-defence telescope accidentally discovered the third known interstellar object—a comet older than our solar system, with potential methane signatures suggesting possible biological origins.
A three-storey shopping complex collapsed in Lagos on Thursday, killing at least eight people including a baby and injuring 26 others. Rescue operations continue as authorities investigate the cause amid recurring concerns about building safety compliance.
A 13-year UK Biobank study of 87,648 adults found neuroticism and adversity account for 60-67% of depression and anxiety burden, substantially outweighing physiological factors alone.
New research suggests asteroid impacts could launch Earth microbes to Venus' clouds, where they might survive for billions of years. If life is detected on Venus, it could originate from Earth rather than Venus itself.
Researchers successfully converted light-triggered changes in DNA droplets into controlled motion and cargo transport, achieving swimming-like movements at cellular scales for potential medical and biotechnology applications.
El instituto SSGEOS afirma que una alineación planetaria predijo los terremotos de Venezuela y Japón, pero la comunidad científica rechaza cualquier relación entre cuerpos celestes y actividad sísmica.
Researchers discovered 2,000-year-old human DNA on cave walls in Portugal and Spain, proving caves can preserve genetic material for millennia and opening new avenues for studying prehistoric human activity.
Two University of Auckland engineering students have won prestigious New Zealand Space Scholarships to intern at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, working on interplanetary power systems and lunar imaging technology.
