Within a few years, Washington could trim International Space Station’s budget by so much that it could force the program to shut down. In the 1960s, the U.S. and Soviet Union invested massively in space exploration as the space race was ongoing. The space race was won by the U.S. when an American was the […]

Researchers estimate that in billions of years’ time when the Sun will burn out, it will spark a massive nebula or a glowing ring of interstellar dust and gas. Scientists have been known for decades that the Sun will eventually run out of fuel and die, but the type of death has been largely unclear. […]

Scientists found that a mystery infection that killed nearly 25,000 piglets in China from 2016 to 2017 was caused by horseshoe bats. Public health experts warn that the same species of bats got humans infected with the fatal SARS virus 15 years ago. The findings, which were published April 4 in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, […]

Using gravitational lensing, the Hubble Space Telescope was able to capture the farthest star from Earth, Icarus. Two separate studies offer details on the star located 9 billion light-years from us. Gravitational lensing is very handy when observing such distant objects because it can magnify a galaxy by up to 50 times. In Icarus’ case, […]

Researchers at the University of Kansas believe that they unearthed a baby dinosaur fossil in Hell Creek Formation in central Montana. The fossil is believed to belong to a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex, but the discovery remains controversial. Researchers said they discovered the tiny dinosaur’s teeth, the back bone, a complete upper jaw, the hips, foot, […]

After multiple delays, flat Earther Mike Hughes blasted off into the sky in his own rocket to prove that the flat Earth theory is correct. Hughes’ efforts to prove the decades-old conspiracy theory date back to 2014. In 2014, the self-taught rocket scientist said he launched a home-made rocket into space but failed to offer […]

Researchers are inching closer to creating an AI-based platform that can enable machines learn from experience just like people do. Paul Rad who leads the team of engineers developing the system is confident the platform will remove the need of programming computers as they will be able to learn on their own. In this study, […]

A computer scientist at the University of Colorado claims that the risk of WW3 has been largely underestimated. Aaron Clauset’s calculations shows that we are nearing a major armed conflict and it isn’t clear if decades-old efforts to fend off nuclear annihilation could prevent it from happening. Clauset sifted through the data on large wars […]

The newest NASA budget lacks the necessary budget to get U.S. astronauts back to the Moon in the near future but is does offer some funding for a lunar exploration. The White House will unveil a copy of the 2019 budget for the space agency on Monday. The document offers a glimpse of the Trump […]
