The Spring equinox (March 19, 2024) signals the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, the beginning of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, and a rare moment of "equal night" across the world.
Wim Hof, known as "The Iceman," purports a combination of breathing exercises and cold exposure has many health benefits. But a new review of studies finds there's limited evidence.
The ancient obect Gz9p3, which appeared as a single point of light through the Hubble Space Telescope, is actually one of the most enormous galaxies in the early universe, James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal.
A study followed participants for about eight years and found an increased risk of death in those who practiced intermittent fasting. But more data is needed.
The gigantic star Betelgeuse, which could be close to exploding, has previously been seen spinning much faster than it should be. However, a new study suggests that these observations were misinterpreted because of the star's shape-shifting surface.
Video footage captures an egg-laying amphibian "nursing" its babies with a nutritious liquid similar to mammalian milk.
The submerged volcano in Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula has erupted for the fourth time in four months. The resulting lava flow narrowly missed Grindavík but could still reach the sea and potentially unleash a toxic gas plume.
By letting different processing units — like GPUs, NPUs and hardware accelerators — work in parallel, rather than in sequence, systems can be up to twice and consume 50% less energy.
Scientists shared the first comprehensive science results from NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid-sampling mission at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, revealing the out-of-this-world makeup of asteroid Bennu.
Total solar eclipses, like the upcoming one on April 8, occur on reliable schedules that we can calculate far into the past. This information helps researchers date mysterious events from ancient history.
New, specially edited photos show a previously unseen swirl of light surrounding the city-size comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, which is currently racing toward the sun and will later zoom past Earth.
Babies usually rub their eyes when they're tired, but why?
Two new James Webb Space Telescope images show off massive bubbles carved out of a stellar nursery by giant, baby stars growing in a nearby galaxy.
The solar system's eight planets will never truly be in a straight line, but they can get close to it.
In this extract from Our Ancient Lakes: A Natural History, Jeffrey McKinnon examines the changes taking place in Lake Baikal as temperatures rise in this vast and otherworldly ecosystem.
Just as humans rely on their eyes to make precise movements with their hands, hummingbird hawk-moths use continuous visual feedback to precisely position their proboscis in the center of flowers.
Why do some celestial bodies have tadpole or even horseshoe-like orbits?
After four months of being unable to detect comprehensible data from the Voyager 1 spacecraft, NASA scientists have had fresh luck after sending a "poke."
