It’s a well-known fact that Jupiter plays a vital role in the dynamics of the Solar System. As the largest planet beyond the “Frost Line,” the boundary where volatiles (like water) freeze, Jupiter protects the planets of the inner Solar…

We are truly lucky to live in an age where modern instruments – like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) – exist and are pulling back the veil on the period known as the Cosmic Dark Ages (aka. the Epoch of Reionization). Thanks to its…

It’s bound to happen at a summer picnic, a peaceful walk in the woods or simply sitting in your backyard… a mosquito targets your blood for its next meal. You’ve been bitten.

But how do mosquitoes find you?

Among several methods used to…

A fossil braincase and partial skull roof from Carnegie Museum of Natural History has been reassessed and reclassified, giving rise to a new genus and species of dicraeosaurid sauropod dinosaur: Athenar bermani.

For decades, geologists labeled a billion-year stretch of Earth’s history—from 1.8 to 0.8 billion years ago—as the “Boring Billion.” They assumed not much occurred during the time: mountain building slowed down, oxygen levels were low,…

Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have created the large-scale maps of carbon monoxide (CO)-dark molecular gas for the star-forming complex Cygnus X.
