A UK mathematician challenges a 2,000-year-old claim that the Parthenon’s curved features correct optical illusions, finding little evidence the illusions actually exist.

Surrey Wildlife Trust has released 30 endangered water voles at a nature reserve near Elstead, continuing efforts to restore the species to the River Wey after decades of local extinction.

NASA’s New Horizons has detected signs of liquid nitrogen flowing on Pluto’s surface near a massive glacier, marking the first evidence of recent liquid activity on the dwarf planet.

Two seedlings from the world’s rarest tree species have been relocated to a Scottish botanic garden as part of an international conservation effort to prevent extinction.

Scientists have determined that black holes release powerful jets at two specific stages during their feeding cycles, solving a decades-long mystery about the timing of these cosmic emissions.

Four astronauts completed NASA’s Artemis II mission, traveling further into space than humans previously ventured before returning to Earth after ten days.

Geologists analyzing ancient volcanic rocks from Western Australia found evidence that water was influencing Earth’s interior and driving volcanic activity over three billion years ago.

James Webb observations reveal that rings around Chariklo, a small object orbiting between Saturn and Uranus, are changing more rapidly than previously believed, with one ring becoming denser and the other less dense.

Scientists found that Earth’s building material came entirely from the inner Solar System, challenging the long-held theory that significant amounts arrived from beyond Jupiter.

New research suggests Venus may have once possessed a moon that gradually spiraled inward and collided with the planet due to its slow rotation and gravitational effects, rather than being destroyed by external impact.

An international research team identified a previously unknown prehistoric animal from Tanzania that lived roughly 240 million years ago, potentially refining the timeline for earliest dinosaur evolution.
