Virgin Galactic has revealed the cabin interior design for the first of its SpaceshipTwo vehicles – the VSS Unity – which will allow would-be astronauts and space enthusiasts to explore the edge of space in style and comfort. Readers can also explore t… Continue reading Virgin Galactic unveils stylish design for SpaceshipTwo cabin
Scientists working with shield volcanoes in the Galapagos Archipelago have found evidence to suggest that volcanoes which ordinarily produce slow-moving rivers of fire have the potential to create far more explosive and dangerous eruptions. Gaining a g… Continue reading Outwardly predictable volcanoes may harbor an explosive secret
An ESA/NASA spacecraft has captured the closest pictures of the Sun ever taken, and revealed that our star is covered in relatively tiny flare-like explosions that scientists have dubbed “campfires.” The stunning shots were taken by the Solar Orbiter s… Continue reading Closest images of Sun to date reveal omnipresent stellar “campfires”
Astronomers have discovered the intact, exposed core of a gas giant locked in a close orbit around a Sun-like star. The discovery will give astronomers a rare opportunity to probe the heart of an ancient alien world, and their findings could tell us mo… Continue reading Exposed core of ancient gas giant discovered orbiting Sun-like star

A star that shined with 2.5 million times the light of our Sun has disappeared from the night sky. It is possible that the star collapsed into a black hole without first triggering a supernova – a rare event, even in the context of dying stars.Continue… Continue reading One of the most massive stars in local universe may have disappeared
The human brain reacts completely differently to a threat that invades your personal space compared to those that are further away, according to a new study that combined MRI scans with VR technology. Distant threats engage circuits in the brain linked… Continue reading Proximity to danger may dictate how fear is formed in the human brain
NASA has released a time-lapse video of our Sun that condenses 10 full years of solar observations into a gorgeous 61 minute movie. The shots were taken by the agency’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which as of June has been keeping a near uninterrupted … Continue reading NASA unveils 10 years of solar activity in stunning time lapse video
The fall of the Roman Republic may have been helped along by an unlikely factor – a colossal volcanic eruption that took place on the opposite side of the Earth. The eruption was the largest in the northern hemisphere for the last 2,500 years, and the … Continue reading Massive volcanic eruption may have contributed to rise of Roman Empire
An international team of researchers has mapped the entirety of an ancient, buried Roman city known as Falerii Novi using radar scanning technology. The researchers unraveled the secrets of the city, which once sprawled over 30.5 hectares of Italian co… Continue reading Complete ancient Roman city mapped using ground-penetrating radar
