The European Space Agency (ESA) has shared breathtaking images of volcanoes as seen from space, highlighting Earth’s fiery landscapes from Italy’s Mount Vesuvius to Indonesia’s Krakatoa. These photographs, taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS), serve as a powerful reminder of how active and dynamic our planet remains. The images were released on…
NASA satellites have captured a rare and eerie sight: 10 swirling “dark voids” puncturing thick cloud cover above Heard Island, an isolated volcanic landmass in the southern Indian Ocean, around 900 miles (1,500 km) north of Antarctica. The black patches, each averaging 8 miles (13 km) wide, formed in May 2016 and appear as part…
For the first time in history, scientists have captured clear footage of the Earth’s surface physically splitting during a powerful earthquake. The dramatic event, recorded by high-speed cameras and ground sensors in a remote seismic hotspot, shows the crust tearing apart along a fault line in real time. This unprecedented visual evidence offers scientists an…
For the first time, a team of researchers has captured the birth of a planet around a star beyond our Sun. The observations captured the very beginnings of planet formation, a rare glimpse into the cosmic process that gives rise to Earth-like planets around a star.Observations were made using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)…
The world’s most powerful digital camera has just delivered its first images, and they are nothing short of spectacular. The 3,200-megapixel Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera, stationed at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, has revealed cosmic scenes in stunning detail never seen before. Capturing vast swathes of the night sky,…
In a rare and remarkable scientific achievement, scientists have detected a 13-billion-year-old microwave signal from a period known as the Cosmic Dawn. It is a time just after the Big Bang when the first stars and galaxies began to form. What makes this achievement remarkable is that the signal was picked up not from space,…
Source: National Geographic Researchers have discovered the first-ever live footage of a rare deep-sea squid species in Antarctic waters. The team spotted the blood-red creature 7,060 feet below the ocean’s surface on December 25, 2024. Led by scientists and technical experts, this mission-critical moment sparks a significant milestone, announced National Geographic. Although scientists have known…

NASA is inviting people of all ages to participate in an exciting citizen science project through Galaxy Zoo, where volunteers help classify thousands of galaxy images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. With over 500,000 galaxy images now available, scientists need assistance to analyse and understand how galaxies have evolved over billions of years….
Ukraine paraded two captured Chinese nationals before a press conference, claiming they were recruited by Russia to fight on the frontlines, echoing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent accusation that Moscow is luring Chinese fighters via social media. The men were handcuffed and under armed guard. Zelenskyy alleged that several hundred Chinese nationals are fighting for Russia….
