After a common heart surgery, some patients experience migraines with visual auras — temporary vision disturbances, such as flashing lights and zigzag lines. The reason for this unusual complication was a mystery, but now, research hints that blood clots in the brain may be the culprit. “These [clots] have previously not been thought to result in any symptoms or to …

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the Abell 3558 galaxy cluster, revealing a peculiar mini-halo structure. This mini-halo, located in the cluster’s center, was uncovered through a detailed series of radio observations. Abell 3558: A Massive And Complex Galaxy Cluster Abell 3558, often referred to as A 3558, is a massive galaxy cluster situated about 700 million light-years away. …

Late last year, Nintendo hosted a mysterious Switch Online playtest, and on Thursday, the company announced that it would be doing another test as part of the “Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program” and that it will be opening applications soon. This second round will be a test of the “same service” as before. Last time, Nintendo asked participants not to …

For centuries, people have noticed strange, fleeting flashes of light on the Moon. Long pushed aside as optical illusions or observational errors, these eerie bursts eventually captured the attention of the scientific community. While observations of odd light blips on the Moon have been reported since the 17th century with the rise of telescopes, unconfirmed sightings have been chronicled as …

New research has uncovered a fascinating link between volcanic eruptions and mysterious structures deep within Earth’s interior, challenging long-standing assumptions about the planet’s lower mantle. These structures, known as “BLOBS,” may be the key to understanding some of the most catastrophic volcanic events in Earth’s history. Are Earth’s Deep Secrets Triggering Doomsday Eruptions? Volcanic eruptions can have devastating effects, ranging …

In 2023, an engineer went to an amusement park with his family. They had a stroller, and one of the parents stayed behind to keep an eye on it while the others went on a ride. When they got off, the park’s app detected that someone had been waiting, sent a notification, and let them in via the fast-track, skipping …

Explosive volcanic eruptions don’t just damage property and cancel flights. They can kill hundreds or even thousands of people, burying them under lethal ‘pyroclastic’ flows.  Now, scientists in Australia have identified a possible cause of gigantic volcanic eruptions – mysterious ‘blobs’ about 1,200 miles under our feet.  Blobs are three-dimensional regions that span the length of continents and stretch 100 times …

Dark, finger‑like marks slide down countless Martian cliffs each year. These stripes have prompted decades of speculation about water still trickling across the Red Planet. A new analysis of 500,000 of these features shows that they form through avalanches of dry dust, report Valentin Tertius Bickel of the University of Bern and Adomas Valantinas of Brown University. Why the Martian …

NASA has discovered a mysterious ‘super-Earth’ planet that appears to flash a repeated signal from 154 light-years away. The planet, named TOI-1846 b, is almost twice the size of Earth and four times as massive.  It orbits a small, cool red dwarf star every four days and causes a strange, repeated dip in the star’s light, a signal that first …

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025, and a previously unknown cellular structure that could be vital to our health has just been added to the anatomy books. The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It’s …
