A team of scientists has revealed a previously unknown type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae, an unexpected finding that reshapes more than 150 years of scientific thinking about vertebrate eyesight.

Until now, vision was believed…

NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS flaring dramatically months after its closest pass by the Sun. Only the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected in our solar system, 3I/ATLAS is offering…

Cannibalism might seem like a rare and unnatural occurrence, but the behavior has arisen in several snake lineages throughout evolutionary history, often triggered by environmental stressors, scientists theorize.

According to the paper, “NASA has identified five hazards of space travel: space radiation; isolation and confinement; distance from Earth; gravity (or lack of gravity); and hostile environments.” And while we already know the…

Pangea, the ancient supercontinent that once united all seven continents, began breaking apart roughly 200 million years ago. That breakup shaped the modern world map. Now, researchers say the tectonic forces that split Pangea apart may…

On a wind-brushed Sunday in Northern California, a routine beach cleanup yielded a breathtaking surprise: one of the planet’s rarest marine animals lay still on the sand. The discovery, made by novelist and Sonoma State University professor…

Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and backward and deforms inside the skull after spaceflight.

The extent of these changes was greater for those who spent longer…

NASA launched two rockets from Alaska this week to learn more about the electrical “circuitry” within auroras, the colorful light shows that occur when solar wind collides with Earth’s atmosphere.

The missions saw two suborbital sounding rockets…
