Scientists in China have achieved a major leap in nuclear fusion research — taking one step closer to nearly limitless, clean energy. The device known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), often dubbed China’s “artificial sun”, sustained high-performance plasma for 1,066 seconds (about 17 minutes and 46 seconds). This sets a new world record,… Read More »
Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, is one of the most fascinating and mysterious worlds in our solar system. Bigger than the planet Mercury and nearly half the size of Earth, this icy moon continues to surprise scientists with its incredible secrets. What makes Ganymede truly extraordinary is what lies beneath its frozen surface — a massive… Read More »
Astronomers have flagged a distant world, Kepler-442 b, as potentially more hospitable than our own planet — at least according to a new habitability rating system. Discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope, this rocky exoplanet lies some 1,200 light-years away and orbits within the habitable zone of its star. By one index, it earns a… Read More »
For the first time in recorded history, mosquitoes have been found in Iceland, a milestone that leaves only Antarctica as the world’s last mosquito-free continent. The discovery shines a stark light on how a warming planet is reshaping even the most unlikely ecosystems. In mid-October 2025, amateur naturalist Björn Hjaltason noticed a strange insect trapped… Read More »
Humanity’s dream of living on Mars may still be within reach — but the clock is ticking. According to a recent study published in the journal Space Weather, prospective astronauts visiting the Red Planet should limit their total mission duration to about four years. Beyond that, accumulated exposure to cosmic and solar radiation could become a… Read More »
A fascinating scientific discovery is shedding new light on how cosmic events may have influenced Earth’s environment millions of years ago. A team of international researchers, led by Dr. Dominik Koll, has uncovered evidence of a mysterious radioactive isotope spike deep within the Pacific Ocean — one that could trace back to a nearby supernova… Read More »
For decades, astronomers have looked at the night sky and seen one familiar companion — our Moon. But it turns out Earth hasn’t been traveling alone after all. NASA-supported observations have confirmed the discovery of a tiny asteroid called 2025 PN7, a “quasi-moon” that’s been quietly accompanying our planet for more than half a century.… Read More »
Astronomers have uncovered a distant and icy world on the far edge of our Solar System — a frozen body so remote it takes roughly 25,000 years to complete just one orbit around the Sun. The discovery of 2017 OF201 is already reshaping how scientists see the Solar System’s outer frontier and challenging ideas about… Read More »
The Discovery That Sparked Curiosity A striking, pyramid-shaped peak rising from the icy expanse of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica has captured the imaginations of curious online viewers. Measuring roughly two kilometres across at its base and located in the southern portion of the range (the so-called Heritage Range), the formation appears ominously like… Read More »
Get ready for one of the most exciting nights for sky lovers! On October 21–22, the night sky will be alive with activity from streaking meteors and glowing comets to a rare planetary meeting and even a chance of Northern Lights. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to look up, this is it. Let’s… Read More »
