Paleontologists have identified a new genus and species of soft-bodied, tubicolous polyp medusozoan from well-preserved specimens found about 50 km northeast of Quebec City in Canada.

Typically, adding energy to a system makes it hotter. But last year, scientists demonstrated that quantum systems don’t always follow those patterns, finding a quantum gas that essentially refuses to heat up.

After some…

NASA’s photos of Earth released during Artemis II’s mission around the moon show our planet against the dark backdrop of space. Auroras illuminated the thin atmosphere, city lights dotted the outline of continents, and brown deserts gave…

A new study has found that large-scale maps of frozen water and other simple molecules can now reveal hidden structure inside a massive star-forming region in our galaxy.

That new view shows exactly where these frozen materials survive, changing…

When Artemis 2 came blazing back to Earth on April 10, all eyes were on the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield. This critical hardware, designed to protect the capsule and its crew from the extreme temperatures of atmospheric…

The cold, icy world of Uranus is framed by a pair of rings that orbit the planet at twice the distance of its main ring system. Each ring tells a different story — the outermost ring appears blue, while the inner ring has a…

As telescopes go, the Unistellar Odyssey Pro really is something special. Between its image quality, ease of use and ability to remove skyglow, we think it’s one of the best smart telescopes. And, if you’re fast, you can get it for nearly $700…

Astronomers watched as jets blasting from a black hole cannibalized a blue supergiant companion star. Data from the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKA) radio telescope allowed the team to measure the power of these outbursts, finding them…

For years, paleontologists have been trying to piece together the story of one of the strangest groups of dinosaurs around – small, bird-like creatures with stubby arms and a single oversized claw.

Now, a nearly complete 90-million-year-old…
