The Smallest Star Yet Could Have Had a Different Life EBLM J0555–57Ab is can be located some 600 light-years away from our planet. It was noted to be … [Read more...]
Chinese Students Will Be Living 200 Days In A Space Station Simulation
Four volunteers, all of them Chinese students, will be spending the next 200 days in the self-sufficient Lunar Palace-1. This is a ‘space station’ simulation and will be looking to monitor the human behavior in confinement to be better prepared for future long space travels. The students will be looking to recycle and make use of everything they have, even waste and trash. They will be doing so … [Read more...]
What Killed The Dinosaurs Helped Frogs Expand?
A new study shows that one’s problem may be another one’s luck. Namely, it found that the same asteroid collision that led to the disappearance of dinosaurs also helped frogs thrive. The research findings state that the 66 million old event was crucial in the advancement of the 200 million years old species. Frogs make up about 99 percent of all modern amphibian species. Scientists are also … [Read more...]

This new skull, bones, and a … [Read more...]
Faceless Fish Spotted For The First Time In Over A Century
Scientists taking part in a scientific expedition have detected, for the first time since 1873, a rare faceless fish. This was spotted as the researchers were investigating the deep waters of Australia and its east coast. The scientific explorations is a joint collaboration between the Museums Victoria and the CSIRO or the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of … [Read more...]
