National Geographic director of underwater photography, and member of OceanX has revealed in a recently published video he has encountered 'underwater aliens' that were much more advanced than humans.
Alien Life Could Thrive On New Type of Ocean Worlds
Scientists have determined the conditions under which life is possible on mini-Neptunes surrounded by a dense hydrogen atmosphere - "hydrogen oceans" - and are already preparing to observe one of them.
Researchers Say Earth’s Core is Growing in a Strange Way—10 Things You Should Know
Earth's core has been growing faster in the east and scientists aim to learn what consequences should be expected.
Scientists Imply Human Brains Use Quantum Computation
Scientists believe our brains could use quantum computation. They reached this conclusion after adapting an idea developed in order to prove the existence of quantum gravity.
The fascinating story behind this ancient Maya Observatory you need to know about.
The ancient Maya were meticulous astronomers who not only studied the stars but built intricate structures that allowed them to observe the moon and Venus, and there is evidence they also studied Mars and different stars in the night sky.
Astronomers Snap Image of Cosmic Jet Escaping Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope has obtained the most detailed image of relativistic jets erupting from the core of the Centaurus A radio galaxy. It turned out that the structure of the jets closely resembles the jet in the active galaxy M87 on a scale of up to five hundred gravitational radii of a black hole.
James Webb Image Reveals 9 Billion-Year-Old Star Clusters
The James Webb Deep Field image has revealed a nine billion-year-old galaxy home to some of the oldest known star clusters.
Scientists Now Want to Beam Clean Energy From Space to Earth
A flying carpet-like surface measuring 3.5 square miles has been proposed by Caltech researchers to harness solar energy in space, and beam it down to Earth.
Scientists Point Two Telescope Where the Wow! Signal Originated From
Scientists have pointed two state-of-the-art telescopes towards the approximate location in the constellation Sagittarius where the famous Wow! Signal originated from.
Researchers Detect 70 Rogue Alien Worlds Floating Through Outer Space
Astronomers have discovered between 70 and 170 candidates for young rogue planets belonging to the Upper Scorpio stellar association, which is the largest discovery of its kind to date. Until now, researchers were certain about less than 30 such objects overall. The breakthrough happened after the analysis of observational data from ground-based and space telescopes from the past two decades.
Astronomers Map a Quarter of the Northern Hemisphere’s Sky Revealing Never-Before-Seen Galaxies
Astronomers have successfully charted a quarter of the northern hemisphere’s sky, revealing millions of never-before-seen objects.
Black Hole “throws up” stellar remains 3 years after eating a star
For the first time, astronomers have seen a black hole spewing stellar remains three years after consuming the star.
Powerful Solar Storm Almost Caused a Nuclear War Between the US and Soviet Union
The US Air Force leadership, which was unaware of the upcoming solar storm, assumed that it was the USSR that disabled their radar systems, and therefore alerted aircraft equipped with nuclear weapons.
Scientists Imply Human Brains Use Quantum Computation
Scientists believe our brains could use quantum computation. They reached this conclusion after adapting an idea developed in order to prove the existence of quantum gravity.
Record-Breaking Brown Dwarf Binary Changes Understanding of Star-Formation
Astronomers have discovered the most severely separated brown dwarf binary system to date – the distance between the components of CWISE J0146-0508AB is 129 astronomical units. It is assumed that such a system could have formed in a star-forming region with a relatively low density, which allowed it to maintain its structure for a long time.
