A joint team of Indo-Japanese scientists have found traces of an ancient ocean that once existed in the Himalayas around 600 million years ago. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, and Niigata University, Japan, have discovered droplets of water trapped in mineral deposits that were likely left behind from the pristine ocean.

Scientists have discovered traces of the world’s oldest-known glaciers hiding near gold deposits in South Africa. The glacial sediments, according to the researchers, date back to 2.

Scientists may have found world’s oldest glacier which dates back to 2.9 billion years

Scientists have claimed that an alien spaceship may have crash-landed on the surface of Mars after they spotted strange pointy protrusions on its surface. NASA's Curiosity Rover in April photographed what looked like rows of spikes, plates and wedges which protruded from rocks lying on the 96-mile (154 km) Gale Crater's floor.

Scientists suggest alien spaceship 'may have crash-landed on Mars’

A new type of stellar object has been discovered by astronomers which may change their understanding of extreme celestial bodies in the universe. Earlier, a spinning celestial space object was spotted by Curtin University doctoral student Tyrone O’Doherty in March 2018.

Mysterious stellar object emitting a five-minute pulse every 22 minutes leaves scientists puzzled

The ground underneath the Chicago city is gradually deforming due to “underground climate change”, scientists are claiming. According to the latest study, this phenomenon is called “subsurface heat islands” and is caused by heat released by buildings and subterranean transportation such as subway systems.

Is Chicago sinking? New study claims ‘underground climate change’ deforming ground underneath city

Pilot whales are known for their strong social bonds. Often, when one whale gets into difficulty and strands itself, the others follow, and this is what happened on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. A mass stranding of pilot whales. Initial reports suggested there were 55 animals, and later on, it was reported only 15 were still alive. They were euthanized on welfare grounds.
