Dark matter remains one of the universe's biggest mysteries. It's invisible, yet scientists believe it makes up a huge part of galaxies. The idea is that to make sense of what we see in space, there must be a lot of unseen matter out there. We know it's there because of its gravitational pull, but seeing it directly has been a challenge. Recently, a Japanese scienti...
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, a peculiar structure has caught the eyes of astronomers.

Weather can be downright scary, even without Halloween decorations. Ever thought about how lightning strikes the earth around eight million times a day? That’s a lot of electricity! Most of the time, it’s harmless, but about 20 to 30 people in the U. S. aren’t so lucky each year. So, while the odds of getting struck are slim, it’s still something to think about. Now...
Scientists have found a surprising link between UFO sightings and nuclear weapons tests. They looked at old photos from the Palomar Observatory in California. These photos, taken between 1949 and 1957, showed mysterious bright spots in the night sky. These bright spots, called transients, appeared and disappeared quickly. They were not caused by satellites, as none ...
So, there's this weird thing flying through our solar system. It's called 3I-ATLAS, and it's the third interstellar object we've ever seen. Most scientists think it's just a comet from another star system, but some folks, like a guy named Avi Loeb, think it might be something else. Something. . . alien. Right now, the object is hiding behind the Sun, and we can't se...

The MENA region is expected to see the biggest increase in cancer cases in the coming years. This is due to population growth, aging, and lifestyle changes. Between 1990 and 2019, the ...
In recent times, stories about UFOs have become quite familiar. It seems like every other day, someone reports seeing something strange in the sky. This trend has been especially noticeable in the Midwest, particularly in Minnesota and Wisconsin, where sightings have been frequent in 2025. Danbury, a small town near Duluth, Wisconsin, became the latest location for ...
So, what's the deal with black carbon (BC) and its role in weather changes? In India, not much research has been done on how BC affects things like monsoons, fog, and heatwaves. This study steps in to bridge that gap, looking at how BC interacts with rain during the monsoon's active and break phases. These phases are super important for farming, water supplies, and w...
