Scientists Uncover "Ghost Genes" That Predate The Dawn Of Life
New research into "universal paralog" genes reveals that the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) was not the first spark of life, but a successor that inherited complex genetic tools from an even older, "pre-LUCA" ecological system.

Betelgeuse and the Crab Nebula Reveal Stellar Death and Rebirth in Multi-Telescope Views
Betelgeuse’s unusual dimming and the Crab Nebula’s remnants offer insight into stellar death and rebirth. Composite images from multiple telescopes show gas filaments and a neutron star, illustrating how massive stars explode, enrich space with heavy elements, and seed future star formation. These observations help scientists trace stellar life...

Mars Once Had Changing Lakes: NASA Reveals Signs Of Life-Friendly Water Phases In Jezero Crater
As Mars's atmosphere changed, Jezero's water gradually became less acidic and more balanced.

NASA Missions Uncover a Diverse Galaxy of Super-Earths, Raising New Questions About Planetary Evolution
Super-Earths are among the most common planets in the galaxy, yet none exist in our solar system. Larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, they range from ocean-covered worlds to scorched, atmosphere-less rocks. Some orbit within habitable zones, making them prime candidates for life. NASA’s Kepler and TESS missions, along with upcoming telesc...

5 Arms, No Eyes, No Heart: DNA Revealed Weird Deep-Sea Brittle Star Journey
You may have read that the deep sea is a very different environment from the land and shallow water. There is no light, it is very cold, and the pressure of all the water above is immense.

Crystalline Ice Discovered in Space: New Study Reveals Hidden Order in Cosmic Ice
A groundbreaking study from University College London and the University of Cambridge reveals that water ice in space, long believed to be completely amorphous due to extreme cold, may actually contain up to 25% crystalline structure. Simulations and X-ray diffraction experiments confirm the presence of nanocrystals in so-called low-density amorpho...

ASKAP Telescope Discovers 15 Massive Giant Radio Galaxies, Largest Objects in the Known Universe
Astronomers using the ASKAP telescope have discovered 15 Giant Radio Galaxies, including one stretching 12.4 million light-years. These vast structures offer new clues about black hole life cycles and jet activity. The unprecedented detail of ASKAP’s deep-sky imaging reveals both ancient and recent radio lobes, opening a new chapter in understand...

The Promise And Peril Of A Crewed Mars Mission
Mars mission would pursue scientific objectives like determining whether Mars ever hosted life and charting the evolution of its surface, as well as answering broader questions -- such as the history of the Sun through studying Martian soil.

Scientists Discover Three-Eyed Sea Moth From Half a Billion Years Ago
Paleontologists have discovered Mosura fentoni, a three-eyed, finger-sized marine predator from half a billion years ago, in museum fossil collections in Canada. Named after the Japanese monster Mothra, this ancient radiodont had a highly segmented body and unusually long gills on its rear, possibly adapted for breathing in low-oxygen environments....
