A study of almost half of all known terrestrial vertebrate species found that populations and ranges of over 30 percent of them have declined since 1990.

Till about 635 million years ago, life on Earth was mostly microscopic, but rangeomorphs that appear in the fossil record around that time grew up to over 6 feet tall.

A space station simulation in a Beijing suburb received its second set of student volunteers Sunday, who will spend 200 days without any contact with the outside world.

The large group of stars in a disk galaxy is so far away that we see them as they appeared 11 billion years, which was just 2.7 billion years after the Big Bang.

The new particle is a baryon and is the first one ever detected with two heavy charm quarks, unlike all other known baryons that have only one heavy quark.

Along with French renewable energy company Neoen, the Elon Musk enterprise won a bid to provide a 100 MW/129 MWh Powerpack system in South Australia.

As the region loses ice steadily over the last few decades, one of the largest icebergs ever recorded is on the verge of breaking off from the Larsen C ice shelf.

Less than three percent of Earth’s water is fresh water, and current desalination methods have large financial and energy costs associated with them. But that could be changing.

Thousands of these objects — with masses between the largest planets and the lightest stars — have been found already, but there could be 100 billion of them in our galaxy.

The supermassive black hole of dwarf galaxy NGC 5195 has been found to be blasting out some of the matter that falls onto its accretion disk into the interstellar medium.

A new study suggests these hypervelocity stars originated in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that orbits our own at the speed of 250 miles a second.

The Large Hadron Collider is presently the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator and is currently undergoing a one-week technical stop for maintenance.

The Asian powerhouse has a very ambitious plan, including sending a crewed mission to the moon and probes to other planets, but a launch of the country’s most powerful rocket failed Sunday.

Large eruptions of plasma and magnetic fields from stars influence space weather and potentially also the possibility of life on planets around those stars.

On the evening of July 4, the NASA spacecraft will complete one full year and about 71 million miles in orbit around the largest planet in the solar system.

The two supermassive black holes, located 750 million light-years from Earth, were observed for 12 years before they could be confirmed as a binary system.

While birds’ eggs usually have a largely oval shape, there are large differences in the degree of roundness, symmetry, and distribution of weight.

Together called “ice giants” colloquially, the mysterious planets are the outermost in the solar system and despite the moniker, are thought to contain little solid ice now.

Three satellites orbiting Earth in a triangle will be used for the purpose, which was chosen as the European Space Agency’s third large-class mission.

Astronomers observed two young stars in the Orion star-forming region, a massive cloud of gas and dust about 1,400 light-years away from Earth.
