Shoebills reach up to 5 feet in height and they are formidable ambush predators, standing still in swamps before lunging forward to swallow their prey whole with their giant bills.

When the Apollo 11 landing module detached and sent Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin hurtling toward the surface of the moon, Michael Collins began a journey of his own. For the next 21 hours, the pioneering astronaut continued to orbit the moon, further removed from humanity than any person before h

If dark matter is made from "dark" versions of the basic building blocks of ordinary matter, the world's largest particle accelerator should be able to pin it down.

The Moon's surface is a desolate place, a landscape composed of dusty craters and barren mountains. But since 1959, its inventory of objects has been steadily expanding thanks to humanity—beginning with the Soviet probe Luna 2, the first human-made object to reach the lunar surface. While it's well known that the Moon is now a

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both forward and backward. Their study reveals that certain quantum systems—when interacting with a vast environment—still obey time-reversible laws, even under assumptions that typically favor a one-way “arrow of time.” This challenges our everyday perception of time as irreversible and hints that...

The James Webb Space Telescope has been awe-inspiring since its 2021 launch, delivering breathtaking views of distant galaxies and offering insights into the early universe. But ... Continue Reading →

Quantum entanglement, an intriguing aspect of quantum physics, allows particles to remain interconnected regardless of distance. This phenomenon was explored at new heights in 2023 when the ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider observed entanglement between top quarks, marking a major adv

A recent study underscores the dynamic nature of black holes and extends similar thermodynamic characteristics to Extremely Compact Objects, advancing our comprehension of their behavior in quantum gravity scenarios. A paper titled "Universality of the thermodynamics of a quantum-mechanically rad

"Jupiter never ceases to surprise."

"Just a couple of years ago, Gz9p3 appeared as a single point of light through the Hubble Space Telescope."

Forty years ago this week, the first untethered spacewalk resulted in one of space exploration's most iconic images.

"It's really been a one of a kind event."

Regular high-energy pulses of gamma-ray radiation emerging from around the Milky Way's central black hole may be coming from a blob of matter whipping around at 30% the speed of light.

Supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* is spinning nearly as fast as it can, dragging the very fabric of space-time with it and shaping the heart of the Milky Way.
