Venus has no oceans or water rain and far less surface erosion than Earth, so its rift valleys preserve clues our planet quickly erases. Simulations show that broad, steep shoulders belong to young, rapidly widening rifts—and Ganis, Dali and Devana Chasmata still carry that signature, suggesting parts of Venus may be tearing open today.
11+ hour, 21+ min ago (542+ words) Wide, steep flanks at Ganis, Dali and Devana Chasmata resemble young active-rift models, although the topography cannot yet show that extension continues today....
Researchers placed 650 geophones along Yellowstone's roads and sent a vibrating truck to 110 different spots to deliberately shake America's most-visited supervolcano, and the echoes revealed a layer 2.4 miles down that is roughly 86 percent solid rock.
4+ day, 18+ hour ago (177+ words) What lies beneath Yellowstone's surface—and how close is the molten rock to breaking through? By Life Signs · Edited by Nato Lagidze Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit That imaging revealed a distinct, laterally continuous reflector less than about 100 meters thick…...
In 1965, MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory launched LES-1, which stopped transmitting two years later — but in 2012 amateurs heard it again at 237 MHz, and its builders now record the old satellite as it passes overhead in sunlight, using a rooftop antenna.
5+ day, 9+ hour ago (968+ words) After decades of silence, LES-1 was heard again in 2012. Lincoln Laboratory now records its sunlight-powered radio tone from a rooftop antenna. By Mission Notes · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit LES-1 stopped transmitting after two years of…...
A cave in New Zealand preserved a lost world from a million years ago — ancient parrots, giant flightless rails and a bird community reshaped by supereruptions and Ice Age climate swings long before humans ever reached the islands
1+ week, 8+ hour ago (165+ words) New Zealand's fossil record rewrites itself: a cave revealed birds that vanished millions of years before humans set foot on the islands, reshaped by forces far more violent than any spear....
By the age of eight, a girl in northeastern Brazil was working through sky-survey images on two computer screens and had logged 18 preliminary asteroid detections; if confirmed, they would make her younger than Luigi Sannino, who was 18 when he set the r
1+ week, 2+ day ago (592+ words) A Brazilian girl's methodical scan of deep-space data threatens to upend a record that's stood for a quarter century, raising questions about who gets access to the tools of discovery. By The Daily Orbit · Edited by Mal James Published September…...
Just five times Earth’s ocean volume could submerge every continent on an Earth-sized planet, weakening the land-based weathering cycle that regulates carbon dioxide and supplies vital nutrients—but it would not necessarily make the planet uninhabitable.
1+ week, 3+ day ago (906+ words) Five Earth oceans could erase the continents and weaken familiar climate and nutrient cycles, but seafloor chemistry leaves room for long-lived, potentially inhabited waterworlds....
Humans account for only a tiny fraction of Earth's living mass, but a 2020 study found the concrete and plastic we've built no longer does — human-made material overtook the weight of all life on the planet that same year
1+ week, 5+ day ago (881+ words) For the first time in history, humanity's creations now outweigh all living organisms combined, a milestone that exposes the hidden cost of our species' outsized planetary footprint.

After travelling 122 million miles in orbit, retired space shuttle Endeavour needed 68 hours to cover its final 12 miles through Los Angeles — crawling at no more than 2 mph as crews removed more than 400 trees to clear its 78-foot wingspan
1+ week, 6+ day ago (445+ words) A spacecraft that conquered zero gravity faced its greatest challenge on terra firma: twelve miles through suburban Los Angeles required removing 400 trees and sixty-eight hours of painstaking crawls.

For a few months each spring, underwater microphones off New York fill with the calls of endangered sei whales — then, as the ocean warms, the voices almost disappear, revealing a migration that happens largely beyond human sight
2+ week, 2+ hour ago (98+ words) Ocean microphones are catching glimpses of a species that remains nearly invisible to science, revealing how climate shapes the hidden movements of endangered whales....
About 252 million years ago, Siberian volcanoes heated Earth's oceans until much of marine life effectively suffocated — and scientists have now confirmed the same deadly combination of warming and oxygen loss is developing again today.
2+ week, 9+ hour ago (1116+ words) A 2026 PNAS study links end-Permian extinction patterns to temperature-dependent hypoxia, while modern observations show oceans are warming and losing oxygen. The mechanisms align, but the ancient catastrophe is not a direct forecast of present conditions. By Life Signs · Edited by…...
