Archaeologists from the University of York have now revealed new insights into food choices and the eating habits at the late Neolithic monument at Durrington Walls otherwise known as Stonehenge. It is also believed to be the residence of the Stonehenge builders during 2500 B.C. Working with researchers from the University of Sheffield, the team ...
The universe was created about 13.8 billion years ago in a blaze of light: the big bang. Roughly 380,000 years later, after matter (mostly hydrogen) had cooled enough for neutral atoms to form, light was able to traverse space freely. That light, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, comes to us from every direction in ...
Habitability on Mars may be limited because it is too small to hold onto large amounts of water, new research from Washington University in St. Louis suggests. Water is essential for life on Earth and other planets, and scientists have found ample evidence of water in Mars’s early history. But Mars has no liquid water ...
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features two interacting galaxies that are so intertwined that have a collective name — Arp 91. Their delicate galactic dance takes place more than 100 million light-years from Earth. The two galaxies comprising Arp 91 have their own names: The lower galaxy, which looks like a bright spot, is ...
Since the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero Crater on Mars in February, the rover and its team of scientists back on Earth have been hard at work exploring the floor of the Jezero Crater that once held an ancient lake. Perseverance and the Mars 2020 mission are looking for signs of ancient life on Mars ...
Astronomers have seen some pretty weird things scattered across our vast universe, from exploding stars to colliding galaxies. So you’d think that when they see a strange celestial object, they would be able to identify it. However, this double galaxy stumped them for years. But NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope uncovered what appears to be a ...
A man-made submerged monolith has been discovered 131 feet (12 meters) below the waters of the Sicilian Channel between Tunisia and Sicily. It weighs approximately 30,000 pounds (15 tons), is 40 feet (12 meters) long, and it’s believed to date back at least 10,000 years. The archaeologist’s discovery offers new insight into historic Mediterranean civilizations. The ...
Scientists have been excavating the ruins of Tikal, an ancient Maya city in modern-day Guatemala, since the 1950s — and thanks to those many decades spent documenting details of every structure and cataloging each excavated item, Tikal has become one of the best understood and most thoroughly studied archaeological sites in the world. But a ...
Using a diamond to concentrate a flash of light into a laser beam is nothing new, but researchers have surpassed anything that has been done before. The laser that these researchers have created is 20 times more powerful than any other diamond laser. It has enough power to cut through steel with ease. Previous diamond lasers ...
Like the speed of an advancing race car driver, the winds in the outermost “lane” of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot are accelerating — a discovery only made possible by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which has monitored the planet for more than a decade. Researchers analyzing Hubble’s regular “storm reports” found that the average wind speed ...
