In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have uncovered the fossils of a previously unknown group of animal predators in North Greenland’s Early Cambrian Sirius Passet fossil locality. These creatures, named Timorebestia, meaning ‘terror beasts’ in Latin, may represent some of the earliest carnivorous animals to inhabit the water more than 518 million years ago, shedding light on a previously unknown dynasty …

Many might be surprised to learn that Mars, known for its distinct red color, possesses an atmosphere where storms occur quite frequently. Despite its significantly thinner atmosphere compared to Earth’s, these Martian storms can have noticeable impacts on the planet’s surface. The United Arab Emirates’ Mars mission, through its Hope Mission, has made a significant discovery in this regard. It …

On New Year’s Eve, a significant solar flare erupted from the Sun’s surface, leading to warnings for high-frequency radio users from space monitoring agencies. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published an image of this flare on Sunday (Dec 31), appearing as a bright spot on the Sun. The SWPC explained that …

A new photograph of an ancient galaxy, known as BRI 1335-0417, offers insights that could be crucial in understanding the formation and origins of galaxies like the Milky Way. This 12 billion-year-old spiral galaxy, captured by the advanced ALMA telescope (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array), is recognized as the furthest spiral galaxy observed by astronomers, according to lead author Dr. Takafumi …

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is on track to make an unprecedented close approach to the sun, reaching speeds of 195 kilometers per second, or 435,000 miles per hour, on December 24, 2024. This will be the closest a human-made object has ever been to the sun, coming within 6.1 million kilometers (3.8 million miles) of its fiery surface. Dr. Nour …

Understanding the complex relationship between Lebanon and Israel, particularly in the context of historical and ongoing conflicts, is vital for a comprehensive grasp of Middle Eastern geopolitics. The history of Lebanon’s involvement in conflicts with Israel is marked by several key events and current dynamics.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have created a groundbreaking 3D-printed device that simulates the impact of medications on the human body, potentially eliminating the need for animal testing. As reported by The Guardian, this “body-on-chip” device accurately demonstrates how a drug travels through a patient’s body, allowing for the assessment of drug reactions in different organs without relying on …

NASA has outlined a strategic plan for developing robotic systems capable of exploring icy moons with subsurface oceans. These robots, known as “cryobots,” are designed to penetrate thick ice layers and probe the hidden seas beneath, potentially uncovering signs of life. This initiative was highlighted following a NASA-sponsored workshop in February, where experts in science and engineering gathered to discuss …
