But surprisingly the title goes to a slow-moving, algae-scraping mollusc called the chiton. This groundbreaking new study published in Science reveals that chitons, marine molluscs you’ve probably never heard of, grow teeth that aren’t…
For the first time in history, scientists have captured clear footage of the Earth’s surface physically splitting during a powerful earthquake. The dramatic event, recorded by high-speed cameras and ground sensors in a remote seismic hotspot, shows the crust tearing apart along a fault line in real time. This unprecedented visual evidence offers scientists an…
In a stunning breakthrough, astronomers have discovered seven massive structures of gas known as superclouds just beyond our solar system. These immense clouds, stretching thousands of light-years across, are likely the birthplaces of stars and may have formed from material stripped from the spiral arms of the Milky Way. While two of them, including the…
On August 10, 2003, the International Space Station became the setting for one of the most extraordinary weddings ever recorded. Orbiting Earth at 28,000 km/h, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko said “I do” to his American fiancée Ekaterina Dmitriev, who stood waiting 400 km below at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.This was no publicity…
A meteorite fragment that tore through the roof of a Georgia home last June has been found to be older than Earth itself, according to scientists at the University of Georgia.Geologist Scott Harris told Fox News Digital that the rock, which fell on June 26 near Atlanta, originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and…

NASA has unveiled plans to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 as part of its Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface and establish a sustainable presence. This ambitious move comes amid increasing international competition in space exploration, with countries like China and Russia developing similar nuclear-powered lunar…
James A. Lovell Jr., the famed astronaut and commander of NASA’s Apollo 13 mission, has died at 97. Lovell passed away on August 8, 2025, in Lake Forest, Illinois, his family confirmed in a statement to NASA. Though Lovell never walked on the Moon, his leadership during Apollo 13’s near-disastrous oxygen tank explosion turned the…

In a stunning breakthrough, astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found strong evidence of a new exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the closest sun-like star to Earth, just 4.37 light-years away. Using its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and a coronagraph to block stellar glare, JWST captured a faint object believed to be a…
