NASA’s InSight Reveals Ancient Planetary Remains Preserved Deep Inside Mars
Scientists using NASA’s InSight lander data have uncovered dozens of dense blobs hidden in Mars’ mantle, possibly remnants of failed protoplanets from the early solar system. Preserved for billions of years, these structures reveal Mars’ mantle evolved sluggishly compared with Earth, offering a unique window into planetary formation and the v...

Massive Continent-Sized Blobs Deep in Earth’s Mantle May Be Over a Billion Years Old
Massive mantle formations, called LLSVPs, have been found to be over a billion years old. These structures, sitting 3,000 km beneath the surface, slow seismic waves, indicating unique physical and compositional properties. Their stability suggests they influence Earth's geological processes, including volcanic activity and tectonic movements. Scien...

Scientists Uncover 'Sunken Worlds' Deep in Earth’s Mantle, Defying Geological Expectations
A new study has uncovered unusual anomalies deep within Earth's mantle, resembling sunken crustal slabs in unexpected locations. Using advanced full-waveform inversion, scientists were able to map these structures, revealing hidden patterns that challenge current geological understanding. These anomalies were discovered far from tectonic activity z...

New Study Finds Axons May Resemble 'Strings of Beads' Instead of Smooth Lines
A recent study challenges the traditional view of axons as smooth, cylindrical fibres, revealing they may actually resemble "strings of beads" or nanoscopic varicosities. Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University using a high-pressure freezing imaging method, the discovery showed rotund blobs connected by thin tubes within axons. These s...

Hubble Captures Closest View of Quasar 3C 273, Revealing Mysterious Structures
The Hubble Space Telescope has provided an unprecedented view of quasar 3C 273, one of the brightest objects in the universe, unveiling mysterious features near its core. These include an L-shaped structure and blobs, likely smaller galaxies feeding the quasar’s black hole. The discovery also highlights a massive jet spanning 300,000 light-years ...

James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Furthest Galaxy 35 Billion Light-Years Away From Earth
James Webb Space Telescope have identified a galaxy 35 billion light-years away from the Earth. Researchers speculate that this galaxy, a far-off red blob, might be the furthest ever spotted. According to the research, the CEERS-93316 galaxy originally appeared barely 235 million years after the Big Bang, an event that created the universe's first ...
