How many habitable planets are there? Water is the basis of life in any part of the universe. So potentially inhabited planets must have liquid water on them to support life. An incredible number of circumstances must come together for this. The planet must be in the habitable zone of the star. A little closer to the star, and the water will evaporate, leaving no chance for oceans and seas to form...

There are few things finer than sinking into bed after a long, hard day, right?

It’s a basic thing – you want your phone fully charged in the morning so it’ll last through the entire day.

Scientists have discovered that, far in the future, our Sun will go through a massive transformation! Right now, it's a stable star in the middle of its life, but billions of years from now, it will start to run out of fuel. As this happens, it’ll expand into what’s called a "red giant," growing up to 300 times its current size! This means it could become so big that it might swallow up the planet...

Scientists have noticed something strange about Pluto and its big moon, Charon, and it's making them rethink a lot! Unlike most moons, Charon is almost half the size of Pluto, so they actually orbit around a point in space between them, almost like they're twin planets. On top of that, Pluto has a reddish "heart" and Charon has a dark "cap" at its pole, both of which are unusual and still a bit my...

The plane had been in the air for a mere 25 seconds when the pilots noticed weird noises and vibrations. They tried several ways to improve the situation, but nothing worked. And just over a minute into the flight, when the plane reached 3,000 feet, both engines failed: first, the right one; two seconds later, the left one. It seemed like only a miracle could save the passengers. And then, one of...

When a giant asteroid hit Earth around 66 million years ago, it created a massive disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs. But somehow, many mammals survived, and scientists have some ideas why. Unlike the dinosaurs, early mammals were small and could burrow underground or hide in small spaces, which helped them escape the intense heat and fires. They were also able to eat a variety of foods, like s...

Astronomers recently found a massive planet, LHS 3154b, that’s over 13 times heavier than Earth, and it’s puzzling scientists. It orbits a small, dim red star, which shouldn't have enough material to form such a huge planet. Normally, stars like this would create much smaller planets. The discovery of LHS 3154b goes against the current theories of how planets form. It would need a planet-forming d...

Archaeologists think the spikes were put up to keep out wild animals or other tribes, making it one of the earliest examp...

It was the very beginning of the year 1912. A giant chunk of ice broke off a glacier in southwest Greenland. It was a huge thing - more than 1,700 ft long, it weighed around 75 million tons! Btw, out of 15,000 to 30,000 icebergs that drift away from Greenland’s glaciers, only 1% ever makes it all the way to the Atlantic. That's why it's so amazing that in April that the iceberg that sank the Titan...
