Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and cosmochemist Natalie Starkey warned that although asteroids may have brought life on Earth, they could also spell the end for the entire planet following a major impact event.
Now, more than ever, it is important that people make environment-friendly changes to their lifestyle.
As NASA prepares a sample return mission on asteroid Bennu, concerns regarding the massive space rock hitting Earth are beginning to emerge. Several factors in space, as well as a spacecraft landing on the asteroid, could send it into a direct collision path with the planet.
In space, everyday actions such as going to the bathroom and even getting a haircut can get pretty complicated due to the lack of gravity. Fortunately, space agencies have developed ways to make things easier for astronauts.
The areas of the brain that keep you awake during the day are damaged in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. This could explain why people with the neurological disease may nap excessively long before they begin struggling with memory problems.
LEMUR managed to make it up steep walls during a test conducted in Death Valley, California. The robot scaled a cliff using fish hooks embedded in each of its fingers. The robot’s AI also chose its own route.
For the first time, researchers made real-time observations of the neutron star Vera's slowdown before a glitch. Capturing the glitch of neutron stars could provide a wealth of information, which includes how matter behaves at extreme temperatures and pressures.
Nearly 25 percent of clinically recognized pregnancies end up in miscarriage and migraine can be a reason for it.
Alien theorists are speculating about what looks like a reptilian face carved on one of the rocks of Mars.
A scientist presented a couple of extreme solutions to prevent an asteroid from colliding with Earth. Aside from ramming the space rock, the scientist said that painting the asteroid could save Earth from a major impact event.
A photo taken on Mars shows what could be debris left by ancient aliens.
Researchers recently came across traces of highly radioactive iron while studying the fallen snow in Antarctica. According to the researchers, these traces are most likely remnants of a supernova.
Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX’s Starhopper spacecraft will embark on its biggest test flight this weekend. The Starhopper serves as the prototype of Starship, SpaceX’s spacecraft that will ferry colonizers to Mars.
For the first time, scientists were able to get a glimpse of the interior of a neutron star through a glitch in its nature. According to the scientists, the erratic movements of the star’s components can cause it to spin irregularly.
Following Earth’s near-collision with an asteroid during the weekend, a scientist warned that an impact event is inevitable. Although it is not yet clear when it will occur, the scientist said that an asteroid hitting Earth will surely happen.
Archaeologists have found new evidence pointing to the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem. They made the discovery during an excavation in Jerusalem’s Mount Zion.
A potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) that’s currently headed for Earth has been detected by NASA. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is taller than the Golden Gate Bridge towers.
The Perseids meteor shower is expected to peak within the next couple of days. During the peak, sky gazers can expect to see about 10 to 15 meteors an hour.
A NASA photo showing structures which look like buildings and spacecraft is now being speculated as a sign of alien activities.
A photo taken by the NASA rover Opportunity shows what looks like a statue of an "ancient god."
The study found that it is important to eat healthy during pregnancy for the well being of the mother and the child.
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation was developed in the late 1990 to preserve the ovaries of girls who need to undergo cancer treatments that can leave them infertile. ProFaM now offers the same procedure but for a different purpose and target market: women who want to delay menopause.
Researchers produced something extraordinary using ingredients from the abandoned lands: the first bottle of alcoholic spirit made of water and grain that were harvested in the reactor's once-forbidden exclusion zone.
An astrophotographer was able to catch the moment when a meteor exploded in Jupiter’s atmosphere. Based on the video, the explosion was big enough to be spotted and recorded from Earth.
Scientists are currently studying the ghostly signals emitted by planets that were already destroyed by their host stars. Studying these signals is vital since Earth will most likely end up like these planets in the future.
One of NASA's rovers has captured what looks like a bunny rabbit scampering on the surface of Planet Mars.
NASA has spotted the biggest asteroid that will approach Earth this month. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) is bigger than the Taipei 101 skyscraper.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new highly-detailed image of Jupiter. The new image clearly shows the giant planet’s Great Red Spot as well as other features that can be spotted from Space.
The missing chunk In the Juan de Fuca plate turns out to be a tear that is slowing splitting the plate apart. It could explain the earthquakes off the coast of Northern California and the volcanoes in Central Oregon.
Johns Hopkins University researchers used a simple mathematical framework to show that dark matter may have been produced before the Big Bang. Dark matter makes up about 80 percent of the mass of the universe, but it remains shrouded in mystery.
