A new research indicates that tiny fossils had been discovered and these are said to be the oldest evidence of life on Earth. These tiny fossils can trace back of up to 3.7 billion years ago.
The woolly mammoths have been extinct for several years now. Scientists are working on an experiment in getting back this species on the face of the Earth.
It is reported that cheetahs may be close to being extinct in the present times. There has been a significant decline of cheetahs in the past years.
Can Earth be really wiped out and erased from the universe come 5 billion years?
Scientists reveal that there could be aliens living underneath the Earth, cradled in the deep underground oceans.
Nobody can see a black hole because of a number of factors. It is a known fact that nothing gets out of a black hole, including light. Hawking radiation explains how anything that falls into a black hole gets heated up as it falls through it.
The ocean water in the cold south off the coast of Antarctica is one of the few places on the planet where the effects of climate change is seemingly absent. Ocean currents push surface water northward up the Arctic causing centuries-old cold deep water to move all the way to the surface off the coast of Antarctica.
Mars and Earth are at their closest encounter in more than a decade with only 47 million miles separating the two planets. The closest recorded encounter in the last 60, 000 years was in 2003 when the two cosmic buddies are only 35 million miles apart.
Life emerged on Earth because of the massive and powerful storms that erupted on the surface of the Sun nearly 4 billion years ago. These are the findings of a new study conducted by NASA astronomers.
Scientists don't only try to find Earth-like planets with their sophisticated telescopes. They also look at the younger sun-like stars for more information. The logic says that since Earth is the only planet where life can sustain, if the scientists have to look for other planets to find surviving life forms, they will have to look in places that have conditions similar to our own. However, according to Lisa Kaltenegger, astronomer, a lot of opportunity is being lost.
Weight measurements were made by determining the speed of dust cloud orbiting the galaxy that houses the black hole.
An international group of astronomers has just spotted three planets with seemingly Earth-like attributes that appear to be revolving around an ‘ultracool dwarf star’. Scientists think that the next step of their discovery is to uncover the possibility of life on these other worlds.
Indiana University researchers estimated there could be as many as 1 trillion species of life on the planet.
A new tail-less comet has just been discovered by scientists which may offer highly important clues as to the origins of the Solar System and Earth. The so-called ‘Manx’ comet is believed to be composed of pristine materials at the time when the Solar System and many other entities within it came into being.
The experiment to create ribose in conditions similar to that of a comet's icy surface strengthen the theory that a comet or asteroid strike could have triggered life on Earth.
