Four critically endangered Western Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoises have hatched for the first time in the Philadelphia Zoo’s 150-year history….

Recent research suggests the age of the Great Red Spot – the huge anticyclone vortex in Jupiter’s atmosphere – formed about 190 years ago. Scientists base this on historical measurements of the storm’s size and motion.

Although the Great Red Spot was first reported by Giovanni Cassini in…

SpaceX is having trouble with Starship’s upper stage after back-to-back failures, but engineers are making remarkable progress with the rocket’s enormous booster.

The most visible sign of SpaceX making headway with Starship’s first stage—called Super Heavy—came at 9:40 am local time (10:40 am…

In a breakthrough for quantum physics and hypothetical felines – scientists have managed to create a ‘Schrödinger’s cat’ state at unusually warm temperatures.

It’s a state that taps into one of the strangest principles in quantum mechanics: the idea that particles can exist in two…

All astronomical objects are formed by gravity pulling matter together.

If a cosmic body originates from anything that had even the tiniest amount of rotational motion originally, this spin rate will only become greatly enhanced as the object collapses.

This arises because of the law of…

An expedition to the bottom of the Great Blue Hole off the coast of Belize in Central America has returned with a cargo of worrying information.

After studying a 30-meter (98-foot) sediment core extracted from the floor of the sinkhole, scientists discovered that tropical cyclones have…

If the ball hits the stick and bounces back, what will happen to the stick? If you said the stick will recoil to the right, you’re correct. We can think of this as a collision. When two objects collide, they exert forces on each other. And per Newton, the forces are equal and opposite, keeping…
