Cannibalism might seem like a rare and unnatural occurrence, but the behavior has arisen in several snake lineages throughout evolutionary history, often triggered by environmental stressors, scientists theorize.
When researchers reviewed 500…

Tracking global water circulation using atomic fingerprints
Scientists can now follow the path of a single drop of water across the globe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these atoms naturally exist in slightly heavier forms called isotopes. As water evaporates, forms clouds, and moves…

Long-term correlation found between Earth’s magnetic field strength and atmospheric oxygen
An analysis of geological proxy records shows that Earth’s atmospheric oxygen levels and geomagnetic field strength evolved in parallel over the past 540 million years. The study compares reconstructions of atmospheric oxygen concentration…

Scientists get clearest view ever of star collapsing into a black hole. And they very nearly missed it
Astronomers have captured their clearest view yet of a star collapsing and forming a black hole.
The event was discovered in archive data from 2014, captured by a now-defunct NASA asteroid-hunting space telescope.
Using the data, astronomers…

How long do most planets last?
Planets go through different life stages: They form, evolve and eventually meet an end. But the timelines for these processes differ widely between Earth-like planets and worlds that orbit less-powerful stars.
So, how long do most planets last?
