ESA has been forced to reposition an Earth-observing satellite to avoid a potential collision with a member of SpaceX’s Starlink mega constellation. According to Forbes magazine, the ESA said one of its satellites was forced to avoid a satellite from Elon Musk's Starlink constellation, raising concerns about the impact of...
The fossil in question is that of an oviraptorosaur, a group of bird-like theropod dinosaurs that thrived during the Cretaceous Period, the third and final time period of the Mesozoic Era (commonly known as the ‘Age of Dinosaurs’) that extended from 145 to 66 million years ago. The new...
Extraterrestrials, welcome to Nevada. Or should we say, "Welcome back"? Since your last visit to Area 51, we've missed you!

Scientists have discovered one of the best-preserved Ice Age woolly rhinos from the melting permafrost in Russia’s extreme northern region. The extinct species that likely roamed in the country’s diamond-producing region of Yakutia some 20,000 to 50,000 years ago has many of its internal organs still intact. The carcass was found...
The Scientists revealed that lava tubes on the celestial bodies are up to 1,000 times larger than those on our planet. The international journal Earth-Science Reviews published a paper offering an overview of the lava tubes (pyroducts) on Earth, eventually providing an estimate of the (greater) size of their lunar...
A mummified wolf puppy has been found in Yukon Territory, where it was perfectly preserved in the permafrost for an estimated 57,000 years. The puppy mummy is “100 per cent intact” and offers an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of ancient wolves, according to a new study published Monday in...
