An exoplanet named WASP-127b just smashed the cosmic wind record. Astronomers clocked supersonic gales racing around its waist at about 20,500 miles (33,000 kilometers) per hour, which is seven times faster than fighter‑jet speed. “There is an extremely fast circumplanetary jet wind found on the planet. The velocity of the winds is surprisingly high,” said Lisa Nortmann of the University of …

A team of archaeologists has stumbled upon a discovery that will reshape our understanding of early human life in Southeast Asia. Deep beneath the ocean floor off the coast of Indonesia, a remarkable collection of fossils has been uncovered, dating back more than 140,000 years.

Astronomers have recently uncovered a remarkable planetary system around the faint orange star WASP-132, featuring two exoplanets that couldn’t be more different. One is a rocky world that completes an orbit in just over 24 hours, while the other is a frigid gas giant that takes five years to finish its orbit. A Rocky World with a Rapid Orbit The …

Ifsmall business is the beating heart of the American’s $30 trillion economy then it might be surprising to find out that the lifeblood it counts in the form of funding via …

The ancient meteor impact that formed Arizona’s Barringer Crater sent shock waves through the Grand Canyon — likely triggering a landslide that dammed the Colorado River, a new study suggests. Barringer Crater, also called Meteor Crater, formed between 53,000 and 63,000 years ago, when a giant cosmic “curveball” punched a hole in Earth’s surface. The force of the impact traveled …

A biotech company that claims to have brought dire wolves back from extinction has announced plans to resurrect giant extinct birds called moa. However, experts say that dire wolves were never truly resurrected, and that moa will be even harder to de-extinct. Earlier this month, Texas-based Colossal Biosciences said it had teamed up with filmmaker Sir Peter Jackson and Indigenous …

The newly discovered “interstellar visitor” 3I/ATLAS can be seen shining like a rainbow-colored string of cosmic pearls in a trippy new timelapse image captured by a telescope in Hawaii. The interloper was discovered on July 1, and within 24 hours NASA confirmed it was an interstellar object — an ejected piece of an alien star system that is shooting through …
