NASA’s TSIS-2 Passes Vacuum and Vibration Tests — Climate Models Depend on It
NASA's TSIS-2 mission has completed vacuum and vibration testing — a demanding pre-launch gauntlet — moving the solar irradiance satellite closer to delivering the precise sunlight measurements that underpin global climate models and Earth's energy imbalance research.
Red Blood Cells Found in 115-Million-Year-Old Brazilian Dinosaur Bone
Inside the leg bone of Aratasaurus museunacionali, a Cretaceous theropod from Brazil, researchers found mineralised structures resembling red blood cells alongside chemical traces of heme — the oldest direct evidence of preserved soft tissue in a dinosaur fossil ever discovered.
NASA’s Antarctic Skull Is Real — and the Ice Loss Behind It Is Scarier
NASA released a genuine, unaltered satellite image of Antarctica's Vega Island forming a skull shape staring toward Devil Island — but the real story is the measurable ice loss visible between the 2025 and 2026 shots, linked to record-warm winters on Earth's fastest-warming peninsula.
Soft Tissue Found in a 68-Million-Year-Old T. Rex Bone—Here’s How
Mary Schweitzer's discovery of preserved soft tissue inside a 68-million-year-old T. rex femur defied everything paleontology assumed about fossil decay—forcing scientists to rethink how long organic material can actually survive in bone.
AI Is Mapping Pre-Inca Andean Empires No One Could Study Before
A $10 million AI-powered initiative co-led by a Brown University archaeologist is building the first comprehensive record of imperial architecture across three successive Andean empires — the Wari, the Inca, and Spanish colonial rule — revealing patterns no conventional fieldwork could uncover.
Oldest Mars Meteorite Reveals Ancient Crust — and 13 Places to Find More
A rose-colored rock pulled from the Sahara in 2022 turned out to be one of the oldest Mars meteorites ever found. A NASA-funded study of Teghaza 001 has now decoded its 4.1-billion-year-old chemistry — and pinpointed 13 locations on Mars where similar ancient crust may still exist.Load More
