In 2014, a lake hidden beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet suddenly began to drain. The event occurred with such force that a surge of water was sent directly upwards, splitting through the ice to create a crater almost one kilometre deep. In the 10 days that followed, 90 million cubic metres of water were released from the lake – roughly …

Astronomers have identified a vast, previously unknown structure in our galaxy that could change how scientists understand star formation and the flow of matter in the Milky Way. Known as the Midpoint cloud, this enormous giant molecular cloud spans roughly 200 light-years, or about 650 trillion miles, and appears to serve as a major conduit feeding material from the galaxy’s …

In the arid shale beds of western India, scientists have uncovered a remarkable fossil that tells the story of a prehistoric snake that once ruled the landscape. Named Vasuki indicus, this massive serpent stretched an estimated 50 feet long and likely weighed over 2,200 pounds. The discovery ranks it among the largest snakes ever found, rivaling the infamous Titanoboa and …

In an exciting paleontological breakthrough, researchers have uncovered the fossil of an extraordinary prehistoric snake, Vasuki indicus, which measured an astonishing 50 feet in length and likely weighed over 2,200 pounds. Found in the Panandhro Lignite Mine in Gujarat’s Kutch region, India, the fossil reveals a massive predator from the Middle Eocene period, about 47 million years ago. This discovery, …

On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large …

On July 15, a colossal filament erupted from the sun’s northeastern limb, dramatically reshaping part of our star’s surface, albeit briefly, and unleashing a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. The outburst was so powerful that it carved a glowing trench of hot plasma more than 250,000 miles (about 400,000 kilometers) long, roughly the distance from Earth to the moon. …
