Introduction Conspiracy theories surrounding the Apollo moon landings have persisted for decades, with skeptics continuously finding new angles to cast doubt on one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Recently, a new claim emerged suggesting that the famous first steps on the moon don’t match the boots worn by Neil Armstrong, the first human to set foot […]
This week brings the Hubble Space Telescope’s 35th birthday – but instead of getting presents, the Hubble team is giving out presents in the form of four views of the cosmos, ranging from a glimpse of Mars to a glittering picture of a far-out galaxy.It’s the latest observance of a tradition that goes back decades, in which

Every now and then, robots on the surface of Mars, or the spacecraft orbiting the planet, send back some fascinating images of rock formations on the Red Planet. These can range from the interesting (such as the donut-shaped rock that may not be from the planet) to the silly (hello, avocado rock. What’s up, big pile of “bones” on Mars?).

For decades, a scattering of ruins in southeastern Europe was dismissed as little more than an unremarkable military outpost, but new excavations are rewriting that story. Archaeologists now believe the site may be the lost capital of an ancient kingdom with direct ties to none other than Alexander the Great, the ferocious conqueror whose campaigns

One of the most spectacular galaxies in Earth’s sky is the subject of a new image release to help celebrate 35 years of Hubble operations. The Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104), located some 31 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Virgo, is a strange galaxy, oriented in such a way that it appears even stranger

As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar.For the first time, droplets have been seen shattering into a ‘quantum rain’ in a degenerate, ultracold fluid of potassium and rubidium isotopes, bridging the

there are alien civilizations out there close enough to pick up our stray signals, there’s a non-zero chance that amongst the first transmissions, they could receive the opening of the 1936 Olympic Games, meaning our first contact with another species (in the unlikely event that they picked them up) could include a speech by Adolf

The roofs of hundreds of bus stops have been covered in plants as a gift to honeybee, by a city in the Netherlands. Mainly made up of sedum plants, a total of 316 have been covered in greenery in Utrecht. The shelters not only support the city’s biodiversity, such as honey bees and bumblebees, but they also

Scientists from the University of Queensland have used photons (single particles of light) to simulate quantum particles traveling through time. The research is cutting edge and the results could be dramatic! Their research, entitled “Experimental simulation of closed time-like curves “, is published in the latest issue of NatureCommunications. The grandfather paradox states that if
