They show up when Saturn's equinox is approaching, which is about every 15 Earth years. Scientists think they might be caused by Saturn's magnetic field interacting with ring particles, but they're still n...

If you see red holes in the sky, don't panic. When SpaceX rockets re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, they create temporary holes in the ionosphere, leading to glowing red circles of light. These holes form because the rocket's engine burns release exhaust gases like water and carbon dioxide at high altitudes. This process causes ionized oxygen atoms to turn back into gas molecules, which emit a red...

From high above the US, you might notice strange barcode-like markings on the ground. These symbols were once used to calibrate aerial and satellite cameras back in the 20th century, painted onto concrete or asphalt in black or white. Acting like eye charts for cameras, they helped fine-tune imaging equipment and determine optical resolution limits. And they aren't the only cool and weird things y...

Researchers have found compelling evidence that ancient mercury buried in rock points to massive volcanic activity as the cause of the Earth's largest mass extinction, known as 'the Great Dying.' This catastrophic event occurred 252 million years ago and wiped out over 95% of life on Earth, drastically reshaping the planet's biodiversity. The mercury, released by extensive volcanic eruptions, sett...
