Can humans end night? Should we be tampering with Mother Nature? That is the question astronomers across the world are raising as one company gets ready to launch huge mirrors into space to reflect sunlight on the darker side of Earth. 

California company wants to 'banish the night' with mirrors in space: 'It goes against every...'

The study indicated that if microbial life once existed on Mars, its chemical traces might still be hidden beneath the planet’s icy surface. Pure ice, researchers found, can preserve organic material for 10 million years, potentially long enough for future human missions to uncover it.

Life on Mars? Study finds traces of life may still lie beneath the planet's frozen surface

Scientists have revived ancient microorganisms frozen in Alaska’s permafrost for nearly 40,000 years — sparking fears of what else could awaken as the Arctic warms. Here's why they did this. 

Why?? Scientists revive 40,000-year-old ancient virus with 'pandemic potential' from Arctic ice

Doctors documented the case in a peer-reviewed paper, tracking the transplanted pig lung for 216 hours, or nine days. The development allowed doctors to observe how the human immune system responds to a pig organ over an extended period.

Doctors in China successfully implant Pig’s lung into a human in historic first

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has found a tiny new moon orbiting Uranus, raising the total moons to 28. This discovery reveals Uranus’ complex gravitational system and shows Webb’s unmatched sensitivity, opening new paths for exploring our solar system’s distant worlds.

Scientists have made a new shocking revelation about Peru’s Nazca “alien mummies” — three-fingered, three-toed remains found in 2015. Are they humans with rare mutations? Primitive hybrids? Or the remains of something alien? 

Peru's 'alien mummies' mystery deepens: Scientists say they’re human…but not entirely - All you need to know

It is common to feel something is about to happen even when you have no way of knowing it. This is believed to happen because our consciousness can possibly travel to the future, as in reality, time is not linear. This is why our brain has memories of things that have not happened yet.

Déjà vu: A glitch in your brain or did your consciousness travel to the future?

Did the Big Bang give birth to two universes? One in which we live, and the other that runs parallel to us but in rewind. A theory suggests that when our universe was born, another mirror anti-universe also came to life, where time runs backwards.

Can Niger get the meteorite from Mars back? The biggest Martian meteorite ever seen on Earth was sold for $5 million by Sothebys. It was found in the Sahara Desert in 2023, and Niger is pretty livid and asking how it left the country. Can it get it back?

A Martian scandal: Niger wants the $5million Mars rock, biggest  ever seen on Earth, back. What do the laws say?

One of the continents on Earth is moving, drifting towards another and will collide with it. This would lead to the formation of a new supercontinent, which would lead to chaos everywhere. Earthquakes will be triggered and volcanoes will erupt when the violence ensues.

From Pangea to brutal Amasia: Earth stares at its next mega continental mash-up

The world's oldest pyramid might not have been built by humans at all. In Gunung Padang, Indonesia, this pyramid was reportedly constructed as far back as 25,000 BC, when even agriculture didn't exist. Another expert pans this theory, saying no one built it, and it was a natural occurrence.

Is this the world's oldest pyramid? Experts argue humans could not have built it, because...

The North Sea has strange structures under it at a depth of 300 feet. They were born seven million years ago and go against the known rules of the ocean. After years of exploration, scientists finally know why they are topsy-turvy.
