Up until now, the accepted understanding about these egg-laying was that they were both descended from a land-bound ancestor. And while the platypus ancestors became semiaquatic, the echidnas stayed ...

Previously believed to have occurred 1.2 billion years ago, this ancient impact created the Stac Fada Member, a layer of rock that holds vital clues to Earth’s ancient past. According to new research ...

Long invisible to astronomers, the newly-discovered molecular cloud is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the Sun and Earth ever to be detected. Molecular clouds ...

University of Portsmouth physicist Melvin Vopson proposes a new way to think about gravity — not just as a pull, but as something that happens when the Universe is trying to stay organized. The ...

Vesta, the second largest asteroid in our Solar System, has not experienced full differentiation into a metallic core, silicate mantle and basaltic crust, according to a new analysis of data from NASA ...

The Hubble team has released a stunning new image snapped by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the massive spiral galaxy NGC 1961. NGC 1961 is located approximately 190 million light-years away ...
