NASA has found 'evidence of surprising activity' on Jupiter's moon
Alien Ocean: NASA?s Mission to Europa3:09Could a liquid water ocean beneath the surface of Jupiter?s moon Europa have the ingredients to support life? Here's how NASA's mission to Europa would find out. Courtesy NASA. NASA’s Hubble Telescope has detected some surprising activity on Jupiter’s moon, Europa.NASA has a big announcement to make. The US space agency issued a press release early Thursday morning telling the world it had some noteworthy news to tell us about Europa.In a sparsely worded..>> view originalBreathtaking photos from the International Space Station remind us of our common home
During the 50 years we have been able take photos of Earth from space, we have become somewhat blase about the little blue planet on which we live.However, a new series of photos released by the International Space Station and the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration remind us just how beautiful our home really is.

When it was discovered in Israel in 1970, the En-Gedi scroll was clearly in no shape to be read: It had been found in the Holy Ark of a Jewish community dating to around 700 BC and had burned along with the rest of the settlement in the year 600. The scroll was little more than a tiny, charred lump of animal parchment. To unroll those lumps of ancient scroll would be unthinkable, as the gentlest touch might crumble the text to dust.Now, more than 40 years later, researchers at the University of..>> view originalFate of Africa's rhino, elephants to dominate wildlife meet

By: PTI | Toronto | Published:September 22, 2016 12:43 pm A group of physicists led by Wolfgang Tittel have successfully demonstrated teleportation of a photon, an elementary particle of light, over a straight-line distance of six kilometres. (Source: Riley Brandt/ University of Calgary) In a first, scientists have successfully teleported a photon – particle of light – over a distance of six kilometres, an advance that may enable secure communication without having ..>> view originalDNA reveals new history of who First Australians were with mystery of an early 'human' unearthed

It’s a happy day when astronomers figure out what’s up with an enormous space blob — and the answer doesn’t imply the immediate destruction of humanity.

Damselfish feel distress when separated from their 'friends', JCU researchers find Posted September 22, 2016 08:31:44 Being separated from "friends" can be a stressful experience for some coral reef fish, a new study has found.It can even cause them to lose weight.Scientists at James Cook University in north Queensland studied blue-green damselfish from the Great Barrier Reef, isolating some, while allowing others to remain in their shoals.The study's lead author Laur..>> view originalHow the Earth's 'Hardiest Animal' Could Pave Way to Radiation-Resistant Humans, Life on Mars
Sep 22, 2016 03:51 AM EDT Researchers have discovered the secrets of tardigrades, the world's "hardiest animal," and how these water bears could survive extreme temperatures and radiation. Could humans one day survive X-ray and Mars? Water Bear's New Superpower According to a study published in the journal Nature Communications, a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo has found a specific kind of protein that protects the tardigrades' DNA.
