Tourists out on a boat caught a terrifying rockslide in Lake Powell on video. In the video, rock on the side of the reservoir comes sliding off, toppling into the water. It leaves behind a massive plume of dust, and many believe the wave it created was powerful enough to capsize smaller watercraft.
Scientists have discovered a neutron star they say could pave the way for a new class of stellar objects. The star was discovered 1,300 light-years away from Earth. Incredibly, the researchers believe it could rewrite our understanding of certain star systems.
Interstellar travel could be possible, scientists say, but not in the way you might think. For decades, science fiction stories have proposed the idea of traveling outside of our known galaxy.

NASA’s next-generation spacesuits will be created by Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace. The space agency shared the news this week. The two companies will work to create next-generation suits for spacewalking and for use in the upcoming NASA Artemis missions.
Scientists say they’ve found the world’s largest plant. The discovery was made off the coast of Western Australia and the plant in question is a mass of sprawling seagrass. Scientifically known as Posidonia Australis, the seagrass expands more than 112 miles into a wilderness area known as Shark Bay.
The legends of the Amazon rainforest have circulated for centuries. Now, though, scientists have finally discovered proof that these massive urban centers actually existed. Researchers published a new study in the journal Nature detailing lidar imaging of the Amazon. Within the forest’s deep, thick regions, they discovered evidence of the lost cities of the Amazon.
What do you call a hybrid created when a grizzly bear and a polar bear mate? The answer might soon be common knowledge, as climate change has pushed these two species of bears together. As a result, interbreeding has become more common between the two, a stark reminder of how climate change affects animals, too.
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter has had a record-breaking trek across the Martian surface. The tiny exploration drone took its first flight on April 19, 2021. Since then, it has made a number of flights. On top of being the first aircraft in human history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet, Ingenuity continues …
