Halo 18 is an example of a galaxy that had a head-on collision (see the panel at z=1.2) and had a disc flip (you can see this by comparing the disc orientation at z=1.4 and z=0). This image and Image ...

The discovery also sheds light on why some people are disturbed by low-frequency noise while others barely notice it. If the ...

In the mudstones of St Bathans, Central Otago, scientists have uncovered a fossil goose that adds a surprising twist to the evolutionary story of New Zealand’s birds. The deposits, dating to the early ...

Scientists have successfully measured the magnetic field of the Lighthouse pulsar’s nebula using NASA’s IXPE. Their measurements confirm the theory that high-energy particles escape along the galaxy’s ...

Artist's conception of the view from the surface of the habitable-zone super-Earth exoplanet GJ 3378b. The planet has a minimum mass just over twice that of Earth and orbits its star at a distance ...

The ocean floor is constantly growing, forged by magmas and stretched by tectonic forces at mid-ocean ridges (MORs). Yet despite their importance, these submarine boundaries remain among the hardest ...

Illustration of the giant planets TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c with host star TOI-791. These planets are roughly the size of Jupiter but a tiny fraction of its mass, meaning they have an extraordinarily ...

When we watch a drama unfold on screen, we instinctively begin to sketch a mental map of the characters: who is allied, who is opposed, and where the tensions lie. But how does the brain organize this ...

With the increased energy output, we would all wonder how long Earth can remain habitable now that the Sun is slowly getting more energetic. In the new study, conducted by using three-dimensional ...

The Soviet PFM-1, also known as the butterfly mine for its winged shape, was designed with chilling precision. Dropped from aircraft, it flutters to the ground like a maple seed, small enough to evade ...
