Researchers at the University of Oregon state and the Natural History Museum in London confirmed that they had found the oldest known gecko fossil with life-like pieces after 100 million years of the amber-buried skeleton. This ancient chameleon relative is the oldest found to date, beating out the previous title-holder by roughly 80 million years. The tiny foot of this ancient lizard also displays the tiny “lamellae” or sticky headdress hairs, that to this day give modern geckos their unusual ability to cling to surfaces or run across a ceiling. Research programs around the world have tried to mimic this…

Giant Seahorse? (Image credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI)) This Hubble image, which was captured and released on April 19, 2013, to celebrate the orbiting telescope’s 23rd year in orbit, reveals part of the sky in the constellation of Orion (The Hunter).The Hubble observatory, which launched on April 24, 1990, captured the Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) rising like a giant seahorse from the turbulent waves of gas and dust in this stunning infrared light image. “The result is a rather ethereal and fragile-looking structure, made of delicate folds of gas — very different to…

Our Milky Way Galaxy (Image credit: ESA/NASA/JPL-Caltech) How much do you know about the city you live in? Sure, you’ve got your favorite restaurants and the best way to avoid traffic during rush hour, but it’s unlikely you know the details of every urban nook and cranny. The same goes for the galaxy you live in, the Milky Way. Our celestial home is an awe-inspiring place full of stars, supernovas, nebulas, energy and dark matter, but many aspects of it remain mysterious, even to scientists. For those seeking to better know their own place in the universe, here are 11…

The universe contains somewhere in the ballpark of 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies. With numbers that large, you can bet that there are some real weirdos out there. Out beyond our Milky Way, there are galaxies shaped like jellyfish, galaxies that consume other galaxies, and galaxies that seem to lack the dark matter that pervades the rest of the universe. Here are some of the strangest galaxies out there. Just like a jellyfish (Image credit: ESA/NASA) Located in the constellation Triangulum Australe, galaxy ESO 137-001 looks amazingly like a jellyfish swimming amid a sea of stars. The galaxy is a…

Asteroids of this size are big enough to cause mass extinction events. An illustration of an asteroid streaking toward Earth. The asteroid that hit Earth about 66 million years ago triggered a tsunami with mile-high waves. (Image credit: RomoloTavani via Getty Images) A “planet killer” asteroid that is hiding in the glare of the sun has finally been detected, and the giant space rock could smash into Earth one day. The 0.9-mile-wide (1.5 kilometers) “potentially hazardous” asteroid, named 2022 AP7, is one of several large space rocks that astronomers recently discovered  near the orbits of Earth and Venus. Currently, 2022 AP7 crosses Earth’s orbit…

From “rogue” black holes cruising the cosmos to one of the oldest black hole ancestors in this universe, this year’s findings truly sucked us in. Artist’s concept of a supermassive black hole. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) Black holes are scary beasts — objects so massive that not even light can escape their clutches. In 2022, we learned more about these gravitational monsters than ever before — from the first direct image of the black hole “heart” at the center of the Milky Way to one of the earliest black hole ancestors ever detected in the universe. Here are 10 massive new findings…

What’s the biggest black hole in the universe, and is there a limit to how big black holes can get?An illustration of a supermassive black hole blasting jets of radiation deep into space. Black holes like these, known as quasars, are the biggest types of black holes we know about. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) Black holes are some of the most massive single objects in space, but what’s the biggest one in existence, and how big can they get? It turns out that there is a theoretical limit to the size of black holes — celestial  objects so massive that even light cannot escape…

Supercomputer simulations on Frontera reveal the origins of ultra-massive black holes, the most massive objects thought to exist in the entire universe. Shown here is the quasar triplet system centered around the most massive quasar (BH1) and its host galaxy environment on the Astrid simulation. The red and yellow lines mark the trajectories of the other two quasars (BH2 and BH3) in the reference frame of BH1, as they spiral into each other and merge. Credit: Yueying Ni et al. The ASTRID cosmological simulation, a massive simulation run on TACC’s Frontera supercomputer, is aiding in the investigation of ultra-massive black…

Recently, NASA shared a striking satellite image: in South Africa, what appears to be a sparkling “golden river” has suddenly appeared against the brown and barren landscape. It almost looked like a giant art installation, as if someone had carefully placed the pure gold leaves into a pattern resembling a river on Earth. However, that is not the case at all. According to Reuters, this “golden river” is actually the waste from the collapse of a dam containing toxic waste at a diamond mine in South Africa – once owned by De Beers, and now in a non-working state. The…

Although Mars was not the first planet that humans set foot on, people have always believed that there is life on Mars. In 2000, NASA’s “Spirit” rover sent back a set of real photos, causing a stir in the global scientific community, because the photos showed a “humanoid creature” on Mars with a head, Body, arms and legs look very clear, like sitting on a rock to rest. This led many people to start believing the “Mars Man” talk. In August 2012, the nuclear battery-powered “Curiosity” rover successfully landed on Mars, but NASA has so far not found any life…

Over the years, many mummies have been found by humans in different locations on Earth. Emerging among these are several thousand-year-old beauties mummies. These bodies are unbelievably intact. Princess Altai The body of Princess Altai is one of the most famous beauty mummies in the world. Archaeologists found this intact mummy in the Altai Mountains in 1993.

A small cliff in China “lays” egg-shaped stones every 30 years, surprising scientists. Locals in the Jiannan Autonomous Prefecture in southwestern China’s Guizhou Province were amazed to see smooth and rounded stone eggs that protrude from the cliffs and then fall to the ground. The cliff is named Chan Da Ya (San Dan Nhai), which means “egg-laying cliff” in Chinese. This cliff has puzzled geologists for decades. Although there have been many theories and scientific explanations, no one has given the most accurate and convincing answer. This 2.4m high and 19m long cliff is like most other cliffs. The strange…

Our galaxy is still actively making stars. We’ve known that for a while, but sometimes it’s hard to understand the true scale in astronomical terms. A team from Japan is trying to help with that by using a novel machine-learning technique to identify soon-to-be star-forming regions spread throughout the Milky Way. They found 140,000 of them. The regions, known in astronomy as molecular clouds, are typically invisible to humans. However, they do emit radio waves, which can be picked up by the massive radio telescopes dotted around our planet. Unfortunately, the Milky Way is the only galaxy close enough where…

The James Webb Space Telescope is continuing to unravel the beauty and mystery of the cosmos since delivering its first images in July last year – but the mission to deploy the next big space telescope is already well underway. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be the next big space telescope to launch following the deployment of the latest NASA telescope, which itself was the successor to the still-active Hubble telescope. Roman’s launch will usher in “a new age for astronomy,” one of the European Space Agency (ESA) scientists working on the project told Euronews Next; it will…

There will always be unintended consequences when ego leads the way. It would be fair to say that Black Adam was Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson’s attempt to become something larger than life in Hollywood. The action star would have made his mark as a superhero in the DC that was worthy of taking up the mantel of leading the new era of superhero films from Warner Bros. into a new direction that Superman and Batman couldn’t do. The problem, amongst several others, was Johnson. After a less-than-stellar $66 million worldwide box-office performance from Shazam! Fury of the Gods (according to Box Office Mojo), insiders told TheWrap that…
