SpaceX's ambitious orbital flight, funded by entrepreneur Chun Wang, becomes the first private space mission to fly over both of Earth's geographic poles. Four non-professional crew members will conduct 22 scientific experiments that could revolutionize space exploration.
An MIT study reveals that greenhouse gas emissions are altering the upper atmosphere, reducing the capacity of low-Earth orbit and increasing the risk of space collisions.
NASA scientists have revealed that the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California is moving towards the ocean at a frightening speed. Extreme rainfall in recent years is believed to have accelerated a process that has been underway for decades.
Three billion years ago, Earth's oceans were green due to their chemical composition. The Great Oxidation Event turned them blue, prompting the evolution of life. This discovery could help identify habitable worlds beyond our planet.
A 55-meter-wide asteroid, known as 2024 YR4, could hit Earth on December 22, 2032 with a low probability. Astronomers also warn of a small chance of a collision with the Moon.
Astronomers have detected 74 exocomet belts around nearby stars, revealing their role in planet formation. The discovery, made with ALMA and SMA, suggests that these bodies could influence the evolution of star systems, similar to the Kuiper Belt in our solar system.
Asphalt and trail runners face distinct injury risks. A specialist analyses how training planning, muscle strengthening, and managing workload can prevent injuries on both terrains.
More than 37,000 acres (15,000 hectares) have been devastated by five wildfires in Los Angeles, leaving 11 dead and thousands of homes destroyed. With winds picking up again, evacuations are growing, along with frustration among citizens and questions about the preparedness of authorities.
NASA is launching a new generation of retroreflectors that will improve measurements between Earth and the Moon, supporting the Artemis missions and future explorations. These precision tools will expand lunar knowledge, testing fundamental theories such as general relativity.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team has identified Zhúlóng, a massive spiral galaxy of great design that formed just one billion years after the Big Bang.
What was originally scheduled as a short 8-day mission has turned into an extended stay that could extend to at least 10 months. NASA has explained what happened.
Artificial intelligence is redefining science, education and health with surprising advances. Challenges such as regulation and human-machine balance are key to its responsible development in the new year.
China discovers 1,000 metric ton gold deposit in Hunan, a discovery that could redefine global mining as science advances in understanding the formation and applications of the precious metal.
Stretching before and after exercise can improve flexibility and performance, but it doesn't always prevent injuries or reduce muscle soreness. The key lies in choosing the right type of stretching based on your goals.
Different visual stimuli can distort the perception of time: seeing more salient and memorable scenes can create the impression that time moves more slowly, while disordered and chaotic images compress the perception of time.
Milton had sustained winds of 215 km/h, just hours away from making landfall on the west coast of the peninsula as a major hurricane. We bring you the latest updates and the potential risks faced by the population.
Scientists sent bioengineering samples of heart tissue to the International Space Station to study how to keep astronauts safe during future long-term space travel.
The median artery is three times more common today than just over 100 years ago, according to a study. It is formed quite early in the development of all humans, and around eight weeks it usually goes back.
What initially appeared to be space debris turned out to be a rocky asteroid that was sighted and reported from different points in the Eastern Cape province. People are invited to contribute with reports and to contribute to citizen science.
The finding suggests a connection between PKP precursor signals and volcanism observed in regions such as Yellowstone, the Hawaiian Islands, Samoa, Iceland and the Galapagos Islands.
