NASA is advancing its Moon Base project near the lunar South Pole through partnerships with commercial companies planning more than 20 robotic landings through 2029 to establish lasting infrastructure and support systems.
150-million-year-old dinosaur footprints reveal something strange about its walk
A 95.5-meter looping trail of 150-million-year-old sauropod footprints in Colorado suggests the giant dinosaur may have walked with a limp based on variations in stride length and width.
Black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter
Researchers propose that black holes created before the Big Bang may have survived to the present day and could explain dark matter, challenging conventional cosmology through bounce universe models.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
British physics faces potential major funding cuts to particle physics and astronomy research, threatening the country’s historic leadership in blue-sky discovery science that has driven innovation for generations.
A shattered asteroid may have bombarded Earth 800 million years ago
A study suggests a fragmented asteroid in the main belt may have sent debris toward Earth, the Moon, and Mars approximately 800 million years ago, potentially affecting climate and life.
Astronomers find the first atmosphere on a rocky world in the habitable zone
Astronomers detected an atmosphere around a rocky, Earth-like planet in another star’s habitable zone for the first time, marking a major breakthrough in the search for potentially habitable worlds beyond our solar system.
Scientists just discovered a lost branch of Australia’s marsupials
Researchers have identified three previously unknown marsupial species that may represent an ancient, previously unrecognized order, suggesting Australian marsupial evolution was more complex than previously understood.
Pembrokeshire space radar plan to be considered by Welsh government
Welsh government ministers will decide on Ministry of Defence plans to build 27 large radar dishes at a Pembrokeshire barracks as part of a trilateral AUKUS security partnership with the US and Australia.
