Researchers have discovered that a certain species of male spiders catapult away to avoid sexual cannibalism. Cannibalism after mating is a well-known trait in many species of spiders. While the reasons for this sexual cannibalism have changed over the years — from complex evolutionary reasons to simply that they can — it appears some male …
NASA’s June spacecraft completed its 40th close pass by the gas giant back in February. When it did, the spacecraft captured a startling image of a Jupiter solar eclipse as Ganymede passed between the Sun and the planet.
The Sun appears to have thrown a temper tantrum last week. NASA reports that the star emitted two solar flares on April 19, 2022. One of the flares was classified as moderate, or as an M-Class flare. While powerful, they are a step below the most intense flares. The second flare peaked a couple of …
Researchers have released a new report digging into the possibility of black holes devouring thousands of stars as they grow. The astronomers say growing black holes appear to be following a violent path to grow their weight. The researchers published a paper on their recent findings in The Astrophysical Journal.
Astrobotic has finally unveiled the flight model of its Peregrine lunar lander. The space-focused company revealed the lander on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.

Back in 2021, NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on the Red Planet. The landing marked the beginning of a new era for studying the Martian world. One that has elicited quite a lot of excitement and discoveries over the past year. Now, NASA has released footage captured by the Perseverance rover of a Martian solar eclipse, …
A new set of previously confidential documents shows that the United States government was conducting research on invisibility cloaks, worm holes, and more. The documents detail projects that the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was looking into before it formally shut down.
Earlier this week, a mysterious flying whirlpool was spotted over the Maunakea Observatories in Hawaii. While many speculated about whether it was a UFO or a wormhole, astronomers have offered another explanation.
Researchers have been heavily studying the possibility of de-aging cells for over the last ten years. Now, a group of researchers in the U.K have developed a new de-aging technique that can reverse aging in cells as far back as 30 years.
Scientists believe there could be hidden alien life on Europa. The icy moon that orbits Jupiter is at the center of a new study. The researchers who published the study in Nature Communications say that subterranean pools of salty water could be promising sites to look for signs of alien life.
