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...
