In a first, the team of astronomers have unveiled seven Earth-size planets orbiting a nearby star that could potentially harbor life. For the first time ever, astronomers have discovered seven Earth-size planets orbiting a nearby
In an attempt to probe for evidence of past life on the red planet, a Pasadena-based company is busy in developing the rover's robotic arm that will make it more efficient to work on the
Earth's water may have originally been formed by chemical reactions deep within our planet's mantle, according to new research. The new theory offers an alternative explanation as to how the life-giving liquid may have originated
Scientists have claimed that our closest neighbour Moon is 4.51 billion years old, and was born just 60 million years after the solar system first formed. The revelation has come through a new study
The difference of a second in our life barely makes any difference but it does matter in the fields of satellite navigation, astronomy and communication. Therefore, a ‘leap second’ was added to the Indian clock
Hunting down for alien life or their existence has constantly intrigued people, but this time, scientists have discovered the oldest water samples on Earth that date back to about two billion years and may hold
The presence of hot atomic hydrogen (H) atoms has been found in an upper layer of Earth's climate known as thermosphere by a group of researchers from University of Illinois. This finding significantly changes current
The asteroid which killed the age of dinosaurs about 65 million years ago may have nearly punctured the Earth's crust, and temporarily caused the surface of the planet to behave like a slow-moving fluid, a
Scientists have discovered a new 'Super Earth' orbiting a nearby star having a mass around 5.4 times that of Earth. This new 'Super Earth' has been found orbiting a very bright star near to our
Scientists have discovered a new world right round the corner from Earth. A new ‘super Earth’ planet was found with a mass around 5.4 times that of the Earth, orbiting a very bright star near
If you savour the sight of a large, bright moon, today could your once in a lifetime opportunity. Monday, November 14, 2016, will witness the biggest ‘supermoon’ in almost seven decades today. The brightest moon
A recent study by scientists in Germany have found the oldest evidence of life on land suggesting that life took birth on land as early as 3.2 billion years ago. The research led by Sami
A team of Brazilian astronomers has discovered two new planets around a star similar to the sun known as HIP 68468. The two new planets, dubbed "super Neptune" and "super Earth", are the first to
The world’s largest and most sensitive cosmic ray monitor, located in India, has recorded a burst of galactic cosmic rays that indicates a crack in the Earth’s magnetic shield, which protects us from harmful radiation,
Premiere U.S space agency NASA is planning to host a teleconference at 2:30 p.m. EST (12:00 a.m IST) on November 7 to better help understand our home planet Earth, previewing several Earth science missions using
After climbing 77 steps of her life, Junko Tabei, the first woman to scale Earth's elevated mountain, died of peritoneal cancer at a Saitama hospital on Thursday morning. Tabei died Thursday of cancer at a
Planet Nine, the huge, distant planet that was predicted to exist in January, may be responsible for the unusual tilt of the Sun, a new study has found. This planet could be adding a wobble
Cosmic rays, one of the most dangerous aspects of space for the human body, could really be a wellspring of life, a new study proposes. The study of a bacterium thriving deep in a South
In a mark of significant achievement for the South American nation, the first prototype of a Mars explorer robot designed by a team of 10 university students in Mexico has gained recognition from US space
Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has once again issued a warning that humanity should be cautious about contacting alien civilization. Our first contact from an advanced civilisation could be equivalent to when Native Americans
