More than 2,000 years ago, according to recent radar surveys, an underwater volcano scattered ash across the ice. "The volcano's continuous output of heat may still be melting the base of the ice sheet, and could be partially responsible for the fast flow of a nearby glacier. David Vaughan and Hugh Corr of the British Antarctic Su ...

The most massive known black hole in the universe has been discovered, weighing in with the mass of 18 billion Suns. Observing the orbit of a smaller black hole around this monster has allowed astronomers to test Einstein's theory of general relativity with stronger gravitational fields than ever before.
The black hole is about six times as massive as the previo ...

The Moon is dominated by gigantic circular structures where unusual luminous discharges have been observed. Are they indicative of past electrical events?
Human beings have long looked up at and wondered about the Moon. Our forebears probably pondered its origin and its influence, perhaps seeking a purpose for the pale, shining orb that now dominates the night s ...

I have been researching the Crop Circle phenomena since I saw my first one in 1976. I had been on a "night watch" for UFO's on Clay Hill in Warminster. Three separate orbs of approximately six feet in diameter of coloured light had been weaving around and above us for some three hours on the top of Clay Hill, merging at times ...

What if the Big Bang wasn't the beginning of the universe, but only one stage in an endlessly repeated cycle of universal expansion and contraction?
So suggests mathematical physicist and string theorist Neil Turok. He thinks there may be many universes, at once interpolated but separate, like a mixture of gases. These universes are attracted to each other; ever ...

For a decade, scientists have puzzled over a surprising phenomenon: Supernovae stars viewed at extreme distances seem to be moving away from us faster than those nearby.
Most researchers have assumed that the stars have somehow accelerated – or that, more precisely, the rate of the expansion of the post-Big Bang universe itself has accelerate ...

Scientists say that asteroid 2007 WD5 has a 1 in 75 chance of striking the planet Mars.
Astronomers have good news, better news and some bad news about an asteroid known as 2007 WD5. The good news is that this 164-ft.-wide chunk of speeding space rock, discovered in November in an ongoing search for potential threats to Earth, won't hit our planet any time in th ...

A NASA comet probe heading back to Earth for a gravity boost will be redirected after the disappearance of its intended target.
Deep Impact, which won funding for an extended mission after its successful close-up studies of Comet Tempel 1 in 2005, was expected to use its Dec. 31 flyby of Earth for a slingshot maneuver to rendezvous with a comet known as 85P/Boet ...

Just when space scientists thought they had solved the mystery of the brightest explosions in the universe, along comes one that has the experts befuddled.
The confounding "gamma ray burst" was detected by space-based instruments and the Swift orbiting gamma ray observatory on Jan. 25, 2007. At first it stood out only because it was rather brig ...

Researchers have discovered genetic evidence that human evolution is speeding up -- and has not halted or proceeded at a constant rate, as had been thought -- indicating that humans on different continents are becoming increasingly different.
"We used a new genomic technology to show that humans are evolving rapidly, and that the pace of change has acce ...

A comet targeted for a flyby with NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft cannot be found, forcing mission planners to send the probe to a different comet. The comet may have evaded telescopes simply because its predicted orbit was incorrect, or, more intriguingly, it might have disintegrated completely.
The Deep Impact spacecraft completed its main mission in 2005, when ...

The solar physics community is abuzz this week. No, there haven't been any great eruptions or solar storms. The source of the excitement is a modest knot of magnetism that popped over the sun's eastern limb on Dec. 11th, pictured below in a pair of images from the orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
It may not look like much, but "this p ...

NASA's fleet of THEMIS spacecraft, launched less than 8 months ago, has made three important discoveries about spectacular eruptions of Northern Lights called "substorms" and the source of their power. The discoveries include giant magnetic ropes that connect Earth's upper atmosphere to the Sun and explosions in the outskirts of Earth's magnetic field.

A large galaxy could be lurking unseen in our own cosmic backyard, a pair of researchers says. Such a massive object could explain a mysterious gravitational pull on the Milky Way.
Astronomers know both the direction and speed of the Milky Way's motion based on measurements of the cosmic microwave background – radiation that filled all space shortly af ...

A rare new kind of star may have been discovered. It is much like the white dwarf our own sun should eventually become—save for a mysterious shroud of carbon ash.
The findings could shed light on the life and death of stars, astronomers said.
After they exhaust all their nuclear fuel, more than 97 percent of the stars in our ...
