Astronomers claim to have discovered a cluster of 12 galaxies formed 13 billion years ago, 700 million years after the Big Bang. The details of the study are published in The Astrophysical Journal. A year ago, researchers announced the detection of a cluster of galaxies 11.1 billion light-years from Earth. The oldest at the time. […]

A few days ago, we announced that we had detected the presence of a possible interstellar comet in our system. Its nature has just been confirmed. The object was officially named, as tradition dictates, in honor of its discoverer. Two years ago, an interstellar visitor – now called Oumuamua – was spotted by researchers at […]

A team of researchers has announced that they have identified two new species of giant salamander. One of them is now considered the largest amphibian in the world. The details of the study are published in the journal Ecology and Evolution. Chinese Giant Salamanders are in bad shape because they are listed as critically endangered […]

A team of astronomers announces they have identified a black hole that obviously has an appetite. Repeated X-ray “flashes” suggest that the cosmic ogre feeds at least three times a day. All nutritionists will tell you: it is not advisable to skip meals. A supermassive black hole, spotted in the center of a galaxy 250 […]

The remains of this ancient giant reptile were discovered about 30 years ago in Canada, but we confused it with another species named Quetzalcoatlus. A re-analysis of fossils made by researchers at Queen Mary University in London now suggests that it is a different species, unknown to science. Evidenced by the bones of his neck, […]

The intensity of hurricanes such as Dorian, which last week hit the Bahamas as category 5, was something scientists had pointed out could happen due to climate change. These phenomena would not be so frequent but devastating. 20th century: uncertainties In the absence of satellite data on a planetary scale before 1970, it is not […]

NASA has just awarded several contracts aimed at demonstrating the potential of nuclear fission systems to power lunar infrastructures. The agency and the US Department of Energy have selected three design proposals that could be deployed on the Moon by the end of the decade to support the Artemis lunar exploration program. NASA and its […]

Future Starlink satellites will be larger and heavier than previous versions. To launch them, SpaceX will rely on the Starship, a fully reusable vehicle that will function as a gigantic PEZ dispenser. Once operational, SpaceX’s Starship will be the largest and most powerful space transportation system ever built. The company is developing its vehicle primarily […]

A new therizinosaurus dinosaur from the Osoushinai Marine Formation in Japan provides insight into the function and evolution of these animals’ claws. It is also the youngest therizinosaurus fossil from Japan and the first in Asia to have been found in marine sediments. A new dinosaur in Japan Therizinosaurs were a large group of theropod […]
