We Earth-dwellers have Earth-centric idea of the Universe and that's probably fine. From sunrise to sunset (and beyond), we eat, drink, work and sleep on one single planet.

Dogs never cease to surprise us. They seem to read our emotions and be empathetic. Thousands of years with humankind may have made them our best friends, but we have just begun to understand them.

Dogs may be 'seeing' through smells, says a study

Rare deep-sea brine pools found in the Red Sea can potentially provide insight into the beginnings of life on Earth. According to recent research, they may also provide information on long-term environmental changes in the area.

Newly discovered rare deep-sea brine pools can help look for ‘alien’ life elsewhere in the universe

What distinguishes Saturn from the rest of the planets in our Solar System are the majestic rings the planet has. These rings are so prominent, they are visible from amateur telescopes as well.

Why doesn't Jupiter have Saturn-like rings? Here's the answer

Can we form human colonies on Moon and Mars? We do have concept designs ready but travel to space is in itself an extremely expensive enterprise. Space agencies and billionaires like Elon Musk are working in this direction but if a Japanese concept is implemented perfectly, we can possibly hop on to a bullet train and travel to Moon or Mars.

Bullet train to Mars? Such a research is indeed going on in Japan

James Webb Space Telescope may be (rightfully) hogging all the limelight right now, but its predecessor, Hubble Space Telescope is still dutifully capturing fascinating images of the cosmos after all these years.

Most of us think of our Solar system as a nice little cozy cocoon inside which planets are safely embedded and we are doing what we do on Earth with complete safety.

Our Solar System may collapse if a passing star came too close

Gravity is something we take for granted here on Earth. It's an everyday phenomenon that doesn't dominate our daily calculus until we fall spread-eagled on the floor after a nasty slip.
