A bright flash on Saturn was captured by NASA’s Mario Rana on July 5, 2025. This marks the first time we’ve ever seen an object crash into the ringed giant in real time. Now, astronomers around the world are scrambling to verify what could be a rare and historic planetary…

In a routine blood test that turned extraordinary, French scientists have identified the world’s newest and rarest blood group.

The sole…

The radio signals from our planet’s airports could be detected by alien astronomers even if their level of technology is the same as our own, according to an upcoming study.

Radar systems used to track planes at aviation hubs such as London’s Heathrow or New York’s JFK could be pumping out…

For nearly a century, scientists have been puzzling over fossils from a strange and robust-looking distant relative of early humans:…

Chimpanzees have been observed following “fashion trends” in the same way humans might do, research has revealed.

Eight rescue primates in…

If chimpanzees had access to TikTok, the platform might soon be flooded with videos of ‘chimpfluencers’ wearing grass in their ears and butts – the latest trend going around a chimp sanctuary in Africa.

In August 2023, at the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage Trust sanctuary in Zambia, a…

Northrop Grumman launched two satellites in 2019 and 2020 that accomplished the first dockings in geosynchronous orbit. Northrop’s satellites, which it calls Mission Extension Vehicles, took control of two aging commercial communications satellites running low on fuel, maneuvering them to new…

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them.

Astronomers previously thought a star like this could not have large planets circulating it, because its mass is only…

Scientists have developed a way to measure the biological age of the brain – and it turns out to be one of the most powerful predictors of future health and lifespan.

In a large new study, researchers analysed blood samples from 45,000 adults, measuring their levels of more than 3,000…

When carnivores that roam our Earth feast gleefully on the flesh of their prey, the hard, unpalatable bones are usually left behind.

But snakes can unhinge their jaws to swallow their meals whole – and, unlike other animals that pass or regurgitate the bones they cannot break down, the…
