Researchers made a groundbreaking discovery which might be the evidence we needed to prove life once existed on Mars. While the Curiosity rover was exploring the Gale crater, it found traces of boron. This is the second evidence in support of the presence of the chemical element on Mars, so the chances of the existence of ancient life forms increase. Curiosity stumbled upon rocks containing … [Read more...]
Jupiter Baffles Scientists with Its Mysterious Auroras
The Juno space probe has recently revealed Jupiter also has auroras. After analyzing the images it captured, researchers realized the phenomenon is different than the one visible on Earth, and is powered by a different mechanism. The gas giant’s light show has quite a mysterious way of functioning. How does the aurora form on Earth? Both the Earth and the Jupiter auroras are caused by the same … [Read more...]
Volcanic Activity Caused the Biggest Global Warming Effect Millions of Years Ago
A recent research linked a massive natural effect of global warming which took place several millions of years ago to volcanic eruptions. The event, which happened 56 million years ago, occurred when Greenland split from Europe, and the North Atlantic Ocean was formed. Earth suffered a massive global warming effect millions of years ago Researchers from the University of California managed to … [Read more...]
Old Human Footprints Found in Crete Question the Previous Theory on Human Evolution
A team of researchers made an interesting discovery, which challenges the previous knowledge we had regarding the evolution of our species. During an expedition in Crete, they found something which looked like human footprints. They managed to establish the age of the prints, namely 5.7 million years. This challenges the previous theory regarding the moment when humans started walking … [Read more...]

Space Missions Are Currently Lacking High-End … [Read more...]
Genetically Modified Pigs – Key To The Future Of Organ Transplants
Scientists from eGenesis managed to successfully edit the genes of pigs and remove the viruses hidden in their DNA. The process of xenotransplantation means that scientists finally managed to overcome one of the biggest issues with regards to pig to human organ transplants. These genetically modified pigs represent a significant advancement in gene editing and cloning technology. A Huge Step in … [Read more...]
The Milky Way May Be Home To 100 Million Black Holes
According to a newly released study, our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might be holding its fair share of black holes, perhaps even up to a staggering 100 million. The research, a theoretical survey, estimated these values by looking at elderly stars and their numbers. More Than 100 Million Black Holes, More Than Ever Expected Many massive elderly stars perish in a rather dramatic manner by … [Read more...]
The Nodosaur Might Have Used Camouflage To Protect Itself
A previously discovered nodosaur fossil, found near Alberta, Canada, was long hailed for the quality of its preservation. Details could be seen of skin and scale, as well as its horns and an almost angry glare. The clarity of that detail has now led to some new discoveries and inferences regarding how it might have used camouflage to protect itself from predators before its obviously … [Read more...]
Zealandia, Once Lost, Now About To Be Rediscovered By Scientists
An entire continent that was once lost has been rediscovered by scientists. They call it Zealandia, and it stretches underneath the Western Pacific from New Caledonia to far southeast of New Zealand. Much if it sank under water around 75 million years ago, though a few pieces can still be found sticking about the ocean surface. Now, a new scientific mission has been launched to study this lost … [Read more...]
