Nearly four years later, Kumail Nanjiani‘s MCU future doesn’t look bright after the critical and commercial flop that was Eternals (2021). The Oscar nominee, who previously underwent a major physical transformation for the part of Kingo, noted that he “signed on for six movies,” thinking the Chloé Zhao-helmed movie would lead to more work with Marvel. “It came out, it …

The mystery at Jupiter’s heart has taken a fresh twist – as new research suggests a giant impact may not have been responsible for the formation of its core. It had been thought that a colossal collision with an early planet containing half of Jupiter’s core material could have mixed up the central region of the gas giant, enough to …

buradaki/Shutterstock Until recently, Mars was studied only through telescopes and some data that was recorded from early spacecraft. It was thought that Mars’ polar regions were the only significant reservoirs of ice, mainly in the form of frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice). The rest of Mars seemed too dry for frozen water …

All life on Earth can be traced back to a Last Universal Common Ancestor, or LUCA. A study suggests that this organism likely lived on Earth only 400 million years after its formation. Further analysis also shows that this life form likely sported an early immune system, which means it was probably fighting off viruses. Life on Earth had to …

A monster galaxy from the early universe shows that the cosmos was rich with oxygen when it was only less than 3% of its present age, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how early life could have first appeared in the universe. This isn’t the first time astronomers have looked at that enigmatic galaxy, named JADES-GS-z11-0. It was …

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Modern humans and Neanderthals were interacting 100,000 years earlier than previously thought, according to researchers who used CT scans and 3D mapping to study the bones of a child they believe was the result of interbreeding between the two distinct groups. The child, described in a recent study published in the peer-reviewed journal L’Anthropologie, was …

Georgina Rannard Climate and science correspondent Michael Brown Giraffes in Uganda’s Kidepo Valley Giraffes are one of the world’s most distinct and well-loved creatures, always thought to be one species. But now scientists at the International Union for Conservation of Nature say we can welcome three more species of the world’s tallest mammal. It’s not the first time researchers have …

A groundbreaking study of a child’s skull found in a northern Israeli cave has found that the world’s first incidence of sex between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals took place at least 100,000 years before scientists previously thought. Research teams from Tel Aviv University and the French National Center for Scientific Research applied new research techniques to the 140,000-year-old skull of …
