A purple ribbon of light in the sky known as “STEVE” appears to have a long-lost twin. This isn’t the plot of a space soap opera; it’s a finding from a trio of European Space Agency satellites known as Swarm. The research, published in the journal Earth, Planets and Space in April, finds that whereas […]
“We will not stop at that (three carriers),” India’s defense minister recently said. Five or six aircraft carriers would give India a force equal to that of China. “Unfortunately, the country lacks the funding for a large carrier,” an analyst told BI. India may build a fleet of five to six new aircraft carriers, according […]
For the first time, the JWST has given us a detailed breakdown of the interior of a world outside our Solar System. The extremely strange exoplanet WASP-107b has an atmosphere surprisingly low in methane, which suggests that the interior of the exoplanet must be significantly hotter than we thought – and its core more massive […]
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Concerned citizens recently reached out to law enforcement after noticing “bizarre” flyers on utility poles in Lemon Grove. It was a “see something, say something” scenario that ended in an arrest. As explained by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the flyers advertised the website AZ24.CO. The postings claimed to […]
Scientists have discovered strong evidence that some massive stars end their existence with a whimper, not a bang, and sink into a black hole of their own making without the light and fury of a supernova. To understand why this is important, we must begin with a crash course on stellar evolution. Stars generate energy […]
Donald Trump is a lot of things to a lot of people ― former president, prominent businessman, criminal defendant, to name a few ― but he is definitely not a dancer. And that fact was made apparent during his Thursday rally in the Bronx, when he attempted to bust a move ― the monkey dance, […]
Researchers have developed a new communication paradigm that can let them securely connect a PC to a quantum computer over the internet. Known as “blind quantum computing,” the technique uses a fiber-optic cable to connect a quantum computer with a photon-detecting device and uses quantum memory — the equivalent of conventional computing memory for quantum […]
The iconic, “upside-down” baobab tree first emerged on the island of Madagascar, new research into its tangled evolutionary history reveals. It’s still not clear, however, how it jumped from Madagascar to Australia. The majestic baobab tree can grow to heights of 82 feet (25 meters) and can live thousands of years. It is often dubbed […]

Astronomers have observed matter plunging into the mouth of a black hole at the speed of light, proving a key prediction made by Einstein right, yet again. In 1915, Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicted that once matter gets sufficiently close to a black hole, the immense force of the space-time tear’s gravity should force […]
Hidden in the leaves of a park in Australia, a “bizarre”-looking creature searched for its next meal, its “spear-like” appendages at the ready. Visiting scientists spotted the predatory animal — and discovered a new species. Researchers visited a park in Whitsunday, Queensland, several times between 2023 and 2024 to survey local wildlife, according to a […]
Conspiracy theorists on social media have been busy at work peddling their latest conclusion: The magnificent auroras seen over swaths of four different continents over the weekend were caused by a University of Alaska program that studies the ionosphere. Which, of course, is pure nonsense. This claim has been making the rounds on social media, […]
