This is a big deal because most asteroids are like loose piles of rocks. They are held together by gravity, not streng
Deep in a cave in Morocco, old bones tell a story. They show where our species might have started. These bones are over 773, 000 years old. They were found in layers of earth that formed when Earth's magnetic field flipped. This flip happened a long time ago. The north pole was near the south pole.
In just seven nights of observation, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory spotted a massive asteroid that's breaking records. This space rock, named 2025 MN45, is about 2, 300 feet wide, making it bigger than most skyscrapers. What's even crazier? It spins super fast, completing a full rotation in just 113
A group of researchers made a big find. They found poison on old arrowheads. These arrowheads are really, really old. They are 60, 000 years old. This is a huge deal. Before this, the oldest poisoned arrows were from 35, 000 years ago. So, these new arrows are much older. The researchers were led b
In the dense forests of the Serra do Divisor National Park, a new bird species has been found. This bird, called the Slaty-masked Tinamou, is part of a group that includes ostriches and emus. What makes this bird special is its unique call, which echoes through the forest. This call is so distinct t
Deep in a Moroccan cave, a treasure trove of ancient bones has been found. These bones, dating back 773, 000 years, are from a time period that scientists know very little about. The fossils include jawbones, teeth, and even a leg bone. What makes them so special is that they come from a time when t
