The village lies today in ruins, over a mile from the Sea of Galilee, said the researchers. The team started looking for Bethsaida’s ruins more than 32 years ago. During this time, a few theories for the whereabouts […]

Recurring bursts of cosmic radio waves reach Earth yet again
Astronomers predicted that a mysterious fast radio burst would repeat this July or August. And it did, as predicted, according to recent observations of the fast radio burst (FRB) called FRB 121102. In June this year, an international group of researchers found that FRB 121102 repeats every 157 days. Such repeating FRBs are not unheard-of, however, this was […]

Researchers discover scorpion toxin that targets the “wasabi receptor,” could be used to make non-opioid pain relievers
A study published in the journal Cell found that a scorpion toxin triggering a pain response in humans can be used for studying chronic pain and inflammation. The toxin, called the “wasabi receptor toxin,” comes from the Australian Black Rock scorpion and evolved out of the need to ward off mammalian predators, said researchers from the University of […]

Astronomers discover more stars exhibiting unusual light fluctuations
A strange, dimming star may not be alone after a scientist discovered more stars that are possibly displaying unusual light fluctuations. Some of the stars are dimming rapidly while some are dimming at slower rates, which is similar to Boyajian’s star — a star that dips in brightness for days or weeks at a to,e before […]

The Sun once had a companion star, study suggests
The Sun was likely paired with another star, suggests a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. This star has the same mass as the Sun and was born out of the same cloud of dust. It was separated from the Sun after being pulled by passing stars and could be anywhere in the Milky Way. Researchers from Harvard University explained […]

Cradles of life? New research says oceans on exoplanets may harbor more life than Earth
A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that oceans on exoplanets may be more hospitable than those on Earth. Scientists traditionally detect which exoplanet is potentially habitable by looking for conditions that closely mimic those on Earth. However, exoplanets that greatly vary from the Earth in terms of conditions such as ocean salinity may, in fact, be more primed […]

Study: Heavy rainfall flooded lakes and rivers on ancient Mars
Early Mars had heavy rains that filled and flooded lakes and rivers, suggests a study published in the journal Geology. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that precipitation levels reached up to 520 feet per rainfall. Water collected in lakes and river valleys that were sometimes […]

‘Oumuamua asteroid may be alien technology, hints study
A mysterious space object that came from outside the solar system may be alien technology. This is because the other candidate theory is faulty, said astrophysicists from Harvard University and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made up of […]

Rare fireball illuminates the night sky in China
A rare fireball brightened the night sky in Shandong Province in northeastern China. It is said to be the brightest fireball to occur on Earth in years and is even more luminous than a full Moon. According to the Chinese Meteor Monitoring Organization (CMMO), the fireball shone and exploded at about 11 p.m. on August 16. The explosion temporarily lit […]

Study: The health of your gut microbiome influences muscle strength
The gut microbiome affects muscle strength, found a study published in the journal Experimental Gerontology. Researchers from Tufts University said that the gut microbiome — the community of microorganisms living in the digestive tract — helps increase or decrease muscle strength depending on the amount of certain bacteria. The findings of the study benefit not only […]
