If life does exist on Venus, NASA may have first detected it back in 1978. But the finding went unnoticed for 42 years. Life on Venus continues to be an extended shot. But there’s reason to require the concept seriously. On Sept. 14, a team of scientists made a bombshell announcement within the journal… Read More »
The night sky always has something to offer, even when the event is subtle and easy to miss. One such quiet but fascinating display is the December Monocerotid meteor shower, a rare treat for dedicated skywatchers. While this shower is not famous for dramatic bursts of meteors, it carries a charm of its own—especially for… Read More »
In the history of science, few experiments have challenged our understanding of the universe as dramatically as the work done by Harvard physicist Dr. Lene Hau. Her groundbreaking research at the end of the 1990s and early 2000s achieved something once considered impossible: slowing light to walking speed—and then stopping it completely. These achievements did… Read More »
For nearly five decades, NASA’s Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft have been traveling farther than any human-made objects in history. Launched in 1977, they were originally designed for a grand tour of the outer planets. Few could have imagined that these two small spacecraft would eventually leave our solar system and enter interstellar space.… Read More »
Astronomers may be one step closer to finding a true Earth-like world beyond our solar system. New data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggests that the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e, located only 40 light-years away, could have a thin, nitrogen-rich atmosphere similar to the one that protects life on Earth. If this discovery holds… Read More »
Skywatchers have two promising nights ahead as the Northern Lights may become visible on Sunday, December 7, and again on Monday, December 8, 2025. A mild geomagnetic storm triggered by recent solar activity is expected to expand the auroral oval, giving northern parts of the United States and southern Canada a chance to catch this… Read More »
A colossal, magnetically intense sunspot complex — dubbed AR 4294-4296 — has rotated into direct alignment with Earth, drawing scientific attention and raising the possibility of heightened solar activity in the days ahead. This gigantic sunspot group is among the largest seen in the last decade. Its size and magnetic complexity suggest that any… Read More »
For the first time in its 25 years in orbit, the International Space Station (ISS) has reached a milestone that space agencies have long anticipated — every single visiting vehicle port is occupied at once. NASA has officially confirmed that all eight docking ports on the current ISS configuration are filled, creating what can only… Read More »
In a powerful move toward global environmental preservation, Alibaba founder Jack Ma has invested $23 million to protect a sprawling 28,100-acre wilderness in New York’s Adirondack Mountains.

Japan has always lived with the power of the ocean — both its beauty and its danger. After the devastating 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the country took on one of the largest coastal protection projects in its history: a 395-kilometer-long tsunami defense system strengthened by 9 million newly planted trees. This remarkable effort blends… Read More »
