It's the first time Earth's geologic record — information found inside rocks — has been used to create an animation of this kind.
The Triangulum Galaxy, the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, is shining with star formation in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
By using protons to probe how a magnetic field responds to an expanding plasma, experimenters have replicated the particle jets spewed out by active black holes.
In mythology, giant oarfish are said to foreshadow earthquakes, although evidence shows this is not the case.
The special chemistry of this shiny iron alloy creates a protective layer on its surface that prevents it from rusting.
