In and of itself, the cosmos is a conundrum. From the singularity of our own solar system to dark matter. This last one is perhaps one of the Universe’s most fascinating and unresolved mysteries. It is undetectable. It is undetectable. It is not audible, tactile, or olfactory. Even the most advanced and sophisticated engineering equipment…

It is a fitting discovery as Mother’s Day approaches. Archaeologists have uncovered the ancient remains of a young mother and an infant child locked in a 4,800-year-old embrace. The remarkable find was among 48 sets of remains unearthed from graves in Taiwan, including the fossils of five children. Archaeologists have uncovered the ancient remains of…

The general theory of relativity was published by the physics genius more than a century ago, to refine Isaac Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime, this model is still currently used by scientists as an explanation of gravitation in modern…

Here’s an equation, and a rather distressing one at that: N = R*× fP × ne × f1 × fi × fc × L. It’s the Drake equation, and it describes the number of alien civilizations in our galaxy with whom we might be able to communicate. Its terms correspond to values such as the fraction of stars with planets, the fraction of planets on which life could emerge, the fraction…

Astronomers have discovered a tiny black hole relatively near to Earth. It has been dubbed ‘The Unicorn‘ and has a mass around three times that of the Sun. The smallest black holes to have previously been discovered are at least six times the mass of the Sun, so the newly found one could fall into…

A 300-year-old burial area, in which two bodies were reduced to skeletons while one was perfectly preserved, has left Chinese archaeologists baffled. When one of the coffins was opened, the man’s face, experts claim, was perfectly preserved. Within hours, however, the face started to go black, and a foul smell began to emanate from the…

This weekend, you might want to go see the sun. This would normally be a bad idea, but you could do it safely from your own home thanks to a new time-lapse video showing the sun’s solar cycle. The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) was launched by NASA in February 2010. It was the first spacecraft…
