A SpaceX rocket stage collided with the moon at high speed, creating a visible plume of dust captured by a Chilean telescope showing sodium and lithium gas signatures.

Scientists used CT scans of rare dodo skulls to reconstruct the extinct bird’s brain cavity, revealing it likely had enhanced smell and touch sensitivity and may have been active during dawn and dusk hours.

Researchers find dinosaurs never evolved to extremely small sizes despite reaching enormous proportions, suggesting ecological competition with early mammals may have prevented miniaturization.

Chemists have developed a catalyst that releases electrons directly into solution, overcoming a decades-old limitation in controlling chemical reactions and enabling previously inaccessible molecular coupling pathways.

Scientists discovered bacteria can transform dissolved uranium into a stable chemical compound when glycerol is available, potentially enabling bacterial-based environmental cleanup methods.

Archaeologists analyzing over 60,000-year-old engraved ostrich eggshells from southern Africa discovered geometric patterns suggesting humans possessed organized abstract thought and sophisticated visual planning abilities.

NASA researchers will pilot a high-altitude aircraft to observe a rare solar eclipse, extending the duration of totality to nearly three minutes to capture detailed data on solar phenomena.

Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier wooden post structure about 3 miles from Stonehenge, dated to 5,000 years ago and similarly aligned with solar solstices.

Researchers have confirmed that a fossil discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and stored in a drawer for four decades is the continent’s first known dinosaur bone, belonging to a long-necked Titanosaur.
