The land under South Africa steadily rose between 2012 and 2020, a new GPS-based study finds, and drought may be the main driver.

The James Webb Space Telescope has broken its own record once again, spotting the most distant, early galaxy in the known universe. The new contender is MoM-z14, a galaxy visible just 280 million years after the Big Bang.

A recent study draws a connection between people's bodily awareness and how they find solutions to moral dilemmas.

Astronomers have announced the discovery of a new dwarf planet in our solar system, named 2017 OF201. Located far beyond Neptune, it orbits the sun every 25,000 years.

Astronomers have calculated that the gas giant Jupiter used to be twice as big as it is now, based on the odd orbits of two of its many moons.

Scientists looked at Jupiter's massive auroras using the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes — and found a mystery they can't fully explain.

A new AI model can deduce a person's biological age using a selfie. Could it be used to guide cancer treatment decisions?

A recently unearthed altar in Tikal holds the burial of a child and adult, but it wasn't built by the Maya. Instead, it appears foreigners from Teotihuacan built it.

A meteorite found in Antarctica in 2012 suggests Earth may have formed with the materials needed to make water, a new study hints.

The CL1 computer is the first in the world that combines human neurons with a silicon chip. It could be used in disease modeling and drug discovery before it expires after six months.

As climate change melts ice sheets and glaciers, water is being redistributed across the globe — and could end up moving the point of Earth's axis of rotation.

An 11-year Hubble study has finally revealed how long a day lasts on Uranus.

What are the blue blobs washing up on California beaches? What to know about these strange sea creatures.

Researchers analyzed the ancient DNA of two mummies from what is now Libya to learn about people who lived in the "Green Sahara" 7,000 years ago.

Using a mathematical model, scientists explored how the human brain might represent information about physical spaces and about people, places and things. Turns out, it may process both in a similar way.

The discovery of nearly 20 alligator-size amphibians that died together during the Triassic in what is now Wyoming is providing scientists important clues about these creatures' lives.

Surprising results from hypersonic air flow simulations could help design stronger, faster and more durable supersonic vehicles.

Scientists studying one of the earliest known galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope have found that the universe's Era of Reionization may have occurred much earlier than previously thought.

Fossils of 444 million-year-old creatures whose bodies were preserved "inside-out" have been discovered in South Africa.

The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully detected auroras on Neptune for the first time ever, finishing a job that NASA's Voyager 2 probe began decades ago.

Auroras are possible over the U.S. tonight (March 25) as a "moderate" geomagnetic storm hits Earth.

The purpose of a mysterious pyramidal structure in the Judaean Desert is unknown, but excavators are finding many well-preserved artifacts there.

Scientists have discovered a star-smothering black hole energy jet tearing through a galaxy similar to the Milky Way.

After the last ice age, sea levels rose rapidly over a period of about 8,000 years, new research reveals.
