A new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows two protostars in the Orion Nebula, a diffuse nebula located approximately 1,350 light-years away in the constellation of Orion. The Orion ...

Astronomers have long thought that the upper clouds of Jupiter, which create the planet’s iconic pale brown belts, are made of frozen ammonia. But a new study has shown that these clouds are actually ...

Astronomers have discovered a blazar — a quasar with a jet aligned along our line of sight — at redshift of 7. Named VLASS J041009.05-013919.88, this object is the most distant blazar ever identified, ...

Niobium phosphide can conduct electricity better than copper in films that are only a few atoms thick; moreover, these films can be created and deposited at sufficiently low temperatures to be ...

Paleontologists in the United States have uncovered the fossilized remains of a new species of sauropodomorph dinosaur that lived in the northern hemisphere (supercontinent Laurasia) during the ...

Mycena crocata is a long-known species of fungus frequently reported from Europe and Japan, which was considered non-luminescent until now. Mycena crocata is a species of the fungal genus Mycena known ...

The newly-discovered species belongs to the mosasaurid genus Carinodens, and was a durophage, adapted for crunching hard-shelled invertebrates. Carinodens is a extinct genus of Cretaceous mosasaurs ...

This new image from the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a tiny patch of sky in the constellation of Hydra. Behind a bright star in the lower part of the ...

Paleontologists have uncovered hundreds of different dinosaur footprints, including footprints left by the 9-m (29.5-foot) ferocious predator Megalosaurus and by herbivorous dinosaurs up to twice that ...

The newly-discovered dinosaur species, Lishulong wangi, lies in the heart of the early sauropodomorph-sauropod transition, according to a paper published in the journal PeerJ. Lishulong wangi roamed ...

In a new paper, planetary researchers from Texas A&M University and the University of Washington introduce a new thermodynamic concept called the centotectic and investigate the stability of liquids ...

NASA has released a beautiful photo taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the spiral galaxy LEDA 22057. LEDA 22057 is located about 650 million light-years away from Earth in the ...
