A hidden Arctic world: Methane mounds and life found 3.6 km below the Greenland Sea
Scientists have found a unique geological and biological complex deep in the Greenland Sea. Methane hydrate mounds, formed by trapped methane and ice, were discovered along the Molloy Ridge. These mounds support chemosynthetic organisms, life that thrives without sunlight. This discovery offers new insights into Arctic oceanography and methane stability.

Insect Use In Moon And Mars Habitats: NASA explores ecosystem support; closed-loop life systems eyed
NASA is exploring the use of insects for future space missions. These small creatures can help pollinate crops, process waste, and maintain soil health on the Moon and Mars. Their ability to thrive in controlled environments with gravity offers a sustainable solution for long-term human survival beyond Earth. This biological approach complements technological advancements for space exploration.
A 15,600-year-old human footprint in Chile may rewrite the story of the first Americans
A 15,600-year-old human footprint discovered in southern Chile is now believed to be the earliest confirmed sign of human presence in South America. This discovery, made near Osorno, predates the previously accepted earliest settlement by about a thousand years, potentially altering migration timelines.
Black Moon Explained For Stargazers: Rare new moon patterns aid astronomy; 2026 dates for India
Skywatchers, take note! A 'black moon,' a rare lunar timing event, occurs when there are two new moons in a single month or the third new moon in a four-new-moon season. While invisible, these nights offer the darkest skies, perfect for stargazing and astrophotography. Plan your celestial observations for 2026 with our new moon calendar, featuring IST times.
This asteroid might hit moon: Scientists track asteroid 2024 YR4
Astronomers are closely watching asteroid 2024 YR4. This space rock may hit the Moon in December 2032. The impact could be visible from Earth. It could also send debris towards Earth. This poses a risk to satellites and future human missions. The James Webb Space Telescope will provide more data. Scientists are monitoring the skies for safety.
Loud alien signals may be humanitys first clue to extraterrestrial life
Scientists may soon detect alien life. Astronomer David Kipping suggests initial signals will be loud and unusual. This is because the first detected civilizations might be in decline. Past astronomical discoveries show extreme examples are found first. This could mean humanity receives warnings about advanced societies facing problems. The search for alien life might reveal much about our own future.
Louder than jet engines: How snapping shrimp disrupt undersea studies
Tiny snapping shrimp, not whales, are the ocean's loudest animals, reaching up to 210 decibels with their claw snaps. This intense noise disrupts marine research globally, masking other animal sounds and interfering with acoustic mapping. Climate change is exacerbating the issue by increasing shrimp activity in warmer waters.
