Astronomers have discovered an ancient, ice-rich interstellar object called 3I/ATLAS, which could transform our understanding of how comets form and evolve. Detected by the University of Oxford’s research team, this mysterious object is believed to have originated far beyond our solar system, possibly more than seven billion years ago. Its immense age suggests it predates…
Beneath the familiar crust we walk on lies a vast, unseen world teeming with microscopic life. For decades, scientists assumed the deep Earth was too hot, dark, and nutrient-poor to sustain anything alive. Yet new discoveries are forcing us to rethink the boundaries of biology. These strange microbes are thriving kilometres underground and may even…
The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has captured global attention not only for its unusual trajectory through space but also for a mysterious pulse signal reportedly linked to it. Scientists are investigating this strange sequence, which appears to follow the Fibonacci pattern, which is a mathematical sequence commonly found in DNA, plants, and galaxies. Detected at a…
“With great silk comes great responsibility.” — probably not what Peter Parker’s uncle had in mind, but it fits. Because if Spider-Man ever retired to the Tuscan countryside, he’d find fierce competition in the orb-weaving arachnids of Sardinia. These eight-legged engineers aren’t just catching flies — they’re busy redecorating their homes like they’re auditioning for…
In a remarkable palaeontological breakthrough, scientists have uncovered two mummified duck-billed dinosaur fossils in the Wyoming badlands, marking the first-ever discovery of hooves in dinosaurs. These exceptionally preserved specimens, identified as Edmontosaurus annectens, offer an unprecedented look into the anatomy and lifestyle of one of the last great herbivores of the Cretaceous period. The find…
A newly discovered interstellar comet named 3I/ATLAS is making its way through our solar system, capturing global scientific attention. Although it poses no danger to Earth, this rare celestial visitor offers a remarkable opportunity to study material from beyond our solar neighbourhood. NASA and its international partners have launched a coordinated observation campaign to examine…
NEW DELHI: As India observes World Stroke Day, medical experts have sounded alarm over a worrying rise in stroke cases among younger adults, warning that the disease is no longer confined to the elderly.At the World Stroke Day forum organised by Mahajan Imaging and Labs on Wednesday, experts emphasized how AI-enabled, integrated pathology and imaging…
NASA has taken a major step toward transforming the future of high-speed travel. In a successful first flight over the Southern California desert, the agency’s experimental X-59 aircraft demonstrated that breaking the sound barrier does not have to come with the signature explosive sonic boom. Instead, the jet is engineered to produce only a soft…
A mysterious traveller from beyond our Solar System is paying Earth a rare visit. This interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has captured the attention of astronomers and sky-watchers alike as it makes its closest approach to Earth on 29 October 2025. Racing through space at incredible speed, 3I/ATLAS is not just a spectacle of cosmic beauty but…
Life has flourished on Earth for billions of years, from primitive organic chemistry in ancient oceans to towering dinosaurs, and finally to humans who wonder if we are alone. Our curiosity is endless. From the provocative Fermi Paradox, which questions why we have not yet seen extraterrestrial civilisations, to NASA’s determined missions scanning our cosmic…
