The Wow! Signal: 72 Seconds in 1977 That Science Still Can’t Explain
In 1977, a routine sky survey picked up a 72-second radio signal so unusual it matched every theoretical marker of an intentional interstellar transmission. Nearly 50 years later, it has never been explained — or repeated.
Webb Finds Comet 3I/ATLAS Formed 10–12 Billion Years Ago
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists found that interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS has carbon and deuterium ratios unlike any Solar System comet, suggesting it formed 10 to 12 billion years ago during the universe's peak era of star formation.
Biggest Volcano in the World: Mauna Loa vs. Tamu Massif Explained
The title of the world's biggest volcano depends entirely on how you measure it: Mauna Loa leads in mass and volume, while the submerged Tamu Massif — a shield volcano the size of New Mexico — holds the record for sheer geographic footprint.
NASA’s Lucy Finds Peanut-Shaped Asteroid That Wobbles and Held Ancient Water
NASA's Lucy spacecraft has returned data from Donaldjohanson, a half-mile-wide peanut-shaped contact binary that tumbles on two axes simultaneously and shows spectral signs of ancient water locked in its minerals.
NASA’s Cold Atom Lab Creates Bose-Einstein Condensates on the ISS
Aboard the International Space Station, NASA's Cold Atom Lab cools matter to temperatures billions of times colder than deep space, creating Bose-Einstein Condensates that make quantum phenomena directly observable for the first time in microgravity.
Hyperparasite Discovered: A Fungus That Parasitizes a Zombie Fungus
A newly identified fungus called Pleurocordyceps cornusynnemata parasitizes zombie fungi that are already killing insects — making it the world's first formally described fungal hyperparasite, discovered in Malaysian Borneo.Load More
