Rare meteorites from Mars bring scientists closer to unlocking its secrets
An international team of researchers is trying to unravel the origins of two meteorites that came from Mars – a discovery that may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the red planet. Current data and resources are insufficient for researchers to pinpoint the exact source of the meteorites – nakhlites that were separately found in 1931 in Indiana […]

Scientists extract new-found mineral from a South African diamond
An unusual mineral was discovered embedded within a diamond from a South African volcanic site. The mineral called goldschmidtite represents a new supergroup of minerals, according to a study published in the journal American Mineralogist, and it could hint at the chemical processes that occur deep within the Earth’s mantle. Named in honor of the geochemist Victor Moritz […]

Mysterious dimming of Betelgeuse is caused by outburst from the star itself, study suggests
A hot outburst from supergiant Betelgeuse may have caused the star’s recent dimming, according to research conducted using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Hubble Space Telescope. From December last year to April 2020, scientists observed that Betelgeuse dimmed, sparking speculations that the supergiant is facing a very imminent end. Surprisingly, Betelgeuse began shining brightly […]

Space-time ripples could help scientists uncover exoplanets from other galaxies
Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. These waves […]

Analysis of bone collagen from Roman Britons reveal details about their diet and mortality rates
Remains of Roman Britons are known for their high nitrogen isotope ratios, which are linked to a sophisticated and abundant diet characterized mainly by seafood. But a study published in the journal Annals of Human Biology found that higher nitrogen isotope ratios, combined with carbon ratios and death rates, correspond to long periods of malnutrition and higher mortality risk. This looks […]

Apparent gravity-defying waterfalls spotted along the coast of Sydney, Australia
Waterfalls on the New South Wales coast seem to be defying gravity — instead of flowing down, these reverse waterfalls are flowing up. Aerial footage of the waterfalls at the Royal National Park, south of Sydney, shows that streams are blown back up toward the land as water pours over the cliffs. Last Monday’s reverse waterfalls are not the first […]

Dwarf planet Ceres may have saltwater beneath its surface, researchers say
Reservoirs of saltwater may be lurking beneath the surface of Ceres, the dwarf planet closest to Earth, according to recent images taken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Dawn spacecraft. Dawn orbited Ceres from 2015 to 2018 until it ran out of fuel. In its final months, it flew about 20 miles above the dwarf […]

Fresh finds from a cave in Mexico suggest humans populated North America earlier than currently known, rewriting the prehistoric first settlers
Excavations in the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas, Mexico unearthed nearly 2,000 stone artifacts that date back to as early as 33,000 years ago — earlier than the arrival of Clovis people in North America which is dated around 13,500 years ago. This finding, published in the journal Nature, could rewrite the currently accepted narrative based on the “Clovis first” theory. According to […]

Scientists find new mystery human ancestor whose DNA remains in people today
Scientists recently found evidence of an unknown ancestor of humans whose DNA is present even in people living today. Their findings, published in the journal Plos Genetics, were derived from a novel algorithm that allowed scientists to map the lineages of early humans and the interbreeding events that occurred between them. Among the ancient ancestors included in the study were […]
