NASA has converted years of satellite data on Earth's magnetosphere into eerie sound clips that can be used by citizen scientists to help make new discoveries.

Shortly after Mercury reached its closest point to the sun, its massive, comet-like tail became unusually visible in the night sky and was captured in a stunning new photo.

The all-white bottlenose calf, which was swimming with around 200 other dolphins, was spotted by a lucky couple on their wedding day.

A mystifying swirl of light recently appeared in the night sky above Alaska, briefly outshining a vibrant auroral display.

Iceberg B-22A, which first broke off from Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier in 2002, is finally moving away from the South Pole after being freed from its seafloor tether.

Astronomers accurately predicted that the icy volcanic comet 29P would erupt after noticing changes in its brightness leading up to its latest explosion.

The potential new mineral was discovered in a chunk of "fossilized lightning," or fulgurite, that was left behind when a tree in Florida was struck by lightning.

Researchers were able to replicate how solar flares form by creating banana-sized loops of plasma in a lab. The results show that the mini flares are an excellent proxy for studying the real things.

Gold miners unearthed a mangled lump of mummified flesh, which upon further inspection turned out to be a balled-up Arctic ground squirrel.

The never-before-seen fish was spotted 5 miles below the ocean's surface in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench near Japan.

An enormous red halo of light flashed in the night sky above Italy before disappearing within milliseconds. It was likely caused by an electromagnetic pulse from a nearby thunderstorm.

Lolita, also known as Tokitae, is returning to the waters of the Pacific Northwest more than half a century after her capture there.

Researchers have mapped out at least 85,000 volcanoes on Venus' surface, and recent findings suggest that some of them are likely active.

A river of hazy red light stretched across the night sky over Denmark after the most powerful solar storm to hit Earth for six years slammed into our planet. The rare phenomenon is not an aurora.

Researchers unearthed the "shark hook" at a newly discovered village buried under a known archaeological site. Experts say it could be one of the first of its kind made in the area.

Researchers have serendipitously discovered that a key step in photosynthesis can occur much earlier in the process than previously believed.

Researchers have determined the cause of an unusual behavior in funnel weaving spiders that involves the females curling up as if they're dead before having sex.

Researchers have discovered a vast cranium collection that was likely left as an offering to Ramesses II, a much-loved pharaoh who died around 1,000 years before the skulls were embalmed.

STEVE was spotted across the U.S. and in parts of the U.K. after the most powerful solar storm to hit Earth for six years smashed into our planet.

An unnamed woman was bitten twice by a blue-ringed octopus, which contains one of the most dangerous neurotoxins on the planet, but she escaped relatively unharmed.

A massive solar tornado recently towered over the sun's north pole for three days. The plasma twister was created by a rapidly rotating magnetic field.

Researchers in Russia recently dissected a mummified bison dating back to around 8,000 years ago. The remains are so well preserved that the team thinks the extinct animal could be cloned, but others disagree.

A new study shows that the number of cases and anti-drug resistance of the infectious fungus Candida auris increased between 2019 and 2021.

Fossils uncovered in Australia belong to a newfound species of extinct eagle that was big enough to pick up hobbit-size prey, like the fictional giant eagles in "The Lord of the Rings."

Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey recently captured the first close-up video of A81, an enormous iceberg that broke off the Brunt Ice Shelf in January.
