The research team found these merger relics in the second set of data from ESA's Gaia space observatory, which mapped millions of stars in the Milky Way.

The survival rate of their patients was twice more than those who underwent surgeries during the American Civil War.

The research team used a past extinction event from Earth's history to show how the planet would respond to climate change.

Ever since the faint glow was first detected 20 years ago, scientists have posited multiple theories to explain how the peculiar stream of microwaves, known as anomalous microwave emission or AME, is formed.

A partial fossilized tooth of Brasilestes stardusti was discovered in Brazil just a month before musician David Bowie died in January 2016, and the mammal’s name is a tribute to Ziggy Stardust.

The dust, identified in particles collected from Earth’s atmosphere, is believed to have come from comets that came to be in the outer regions of the so-called solar nebula, where the chaotic formation of our Solar System’s planets took place.

The industrial production of beef and farmed catfish are the worst foods, in terms of their environmental impact, a study found after looking at almost a decade of data.

Musicians used this illusion in an artistic way even back in the 60s, but scientists started investigating it only decades later.

The latest findings from James Clerk Maxwell Telescope also provide new insight into the process of star-formation.

Dust storms like the one Opportunity faces at present are not surprising but infrequent on Mars. They can start out of nowhere and continue for days or maybe even months.

The researchers looked into the data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to suggest that volcanism under glacial environments might have created the flat-topped volcanic mounds found on Mars.

18 years ago, B-15 was nearly as big as the US state of Connecticut, covering 11,000 square kilometers.

This is one of the first detailed reports that reveal the true scale of plastic pollution in the Antarctic waters.

In the study, the bees demonstrated the capacity to associate nothing with zero.

The work revolves around a technology called direct air capture wherein multiple giant fans are used to draw and convert ambient air into low carbon fuel.

While one of the species was a wolf-sized carnivore, the other was a bit smaller, long-snouted animal with extremely sharp needle-like teeth.

The researchers conducted a statistical analysis to discover the position of stars indicating the size of our galaxy's disc.

While galaxies farther in space and further back in time have been found, this is the first time astronomers have observed — thanks to Hubble Space Telescope — a single star that is 9 billion light-years away.

The distant exoplanets were identified in the data gathered by the K2 mission of NASA’s Kepler satellite.

Martian rocks and atmosphere could hold the signs of ancient life on the planet.

The mysterious objects were spotted in 12 years’ worth of data collected by the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii.

This is the first evidence of animal footprints from the time before Cambrian explosion — the evolutionary event that marked a major surge in Earth’s diversity.

The study revealed how much x-ray radiation the habitable zone of the stars would be receiving.

Previous estimates placed the mass of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, at between 700 billion and 2 trillion solar masses, but a new measurement technique offers a more precise and reliable number.

The decades-old mystery has finally been solved, thanks to Juno's eight close flybys of Jupiter and its state-of-art microwave and plasma wave instruments.

NASA will host a livestream about "new science results" from its Curiosity rover on Mars on Thursday afternoon.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told the Washington Post on Tuesday the agency was considering handing over the International Space Station to private companies in 2025.

Using human vision as the standard for sharpness, the group compared and ranked the vision of different species to determine how blurry or sharp things appear to them.

The latest launch to the space station comes just a few days after three members from Expedition 55 returned safely to Earth.
