Ancient Egyptians created artificial plants. They crafted fake flowers and garlands from materials like painted linen, papyrus, and thin metals to decorate temples, tombs, and homes. This practice dates back to around 2500 BCE, making Egypt one of the ea
A new study revises the Drake Equation, considering cosmic expansion's role in creating conditions for life. Researchers propose adding parameters for dark energy and multiverse possibilities, suggesting that varying cosmic conditions might influence li
Scientists have developed a technique to create 3D models of cosmic structures using polarized radio light data. This method offers new insights into phenomena like relativistic jets and black holes, challenging traditional 2D observations and aiding fut
Sharks don't have bones. They are a special type of fish known as "elasmobranchs", which translates into fish made of cartilaginous tissues. Even though sharks don't have bones, they still can fossilize. As most sharks age, they deposit calcium salts
Solar Cycle 25's activity has surged, producing more frequent sunspots and solar flares than expected. This could intensify space weather, affecting satellites, power grids, and creating more auroras.
A proposed array of 200 small telescopes could detect Planet Nine by observing stellar occultations. Spaced across 1,000 km, they’d map Trans-Neptunian Objects and potentially confirm a planet or primordial black hole in the solar system’s outer reac
Earth’s magnetic poles flip roughly every 200k to 300k years, but the last reversal was about 780k years ago. Some scientists think we’re overdue, but the timing is unpredictable and could take thousands of years. A flip might disrupt technology and
