In the center of our galaxy, gigantic, balloon-like structures of high-energy radiation extend thousands of light-years above and below the Milky Way’s plane. Known as the Fermi bubbles, the massive lobes may have been the result of a violent outburst in our galaxy’s recent past. A new discovery of cold hydrogen clouds embedded inside the bubbles adds another level of …

A hydrothermal explosion has created a 13-foot blue water feature in Yellowstone National Park. The explosion appears to have happened between December 2024 and May 2025.  While rare, hydrothermal explosions can result in injuries or death to humans and animals.  A brand-new discovery in a popular national park has “explosive” beginnings. Geologists in Yellowstone National Park recently discovered a new …

A NASA Mars mission’s long and winding road to the launch pad is nearing its end. The twin ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) Mars probes had been scheduled to launch last October, on the first-ever flight of Blue Origin‘s huge, partially reusable New Glenn rocket. But NASA took the two spacecraft off that flight in September, citing …

Sharks can be formidable predators, but when they’re flipped upside down, many species enter a trance-like state, known as tonic immobility, and are as helpless as a beetle on its back. Tonic immobility is “as close to hypnotising a shark as you can get!” Joel Gayford, a doctoral candidate of marine ecology at James Cook University in Australia, told Live …

While generations of artists have painted or photographed sunsets and poets have written sonnets to the Sun, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) just sent back the closest solar snapshots …

Astronomers have discovered that the Milky Way might be just a small piece of a much larger cosmic structure than previously believed. If confirmed by future observations, this research could suggest that our current model of how the universe evolves is still missing some crucial pieces. As we study the universe more, we have found ourselves to be part of …

The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory has released its first images, demonstrating its capabilities just two months after beginning trial operations. Built in Chile over nearly three decades at a cost of more than one billion dollars, the American observatory’s debut images showcase its exceptional imaging power. The telescope features an exceptionally wide field of view — 3.5 degrees by …
