Just 31 light-years away, one of the closest worlds ever detected could harbour liquid water on its surface. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS – a super-powerful orbiting telescope that scouts the sky for alien worlds – spotted a new planet circling a nearby star in the Hydra constellation. When astronomers checked the star for confirmation, they discovered two more worl
I thought that it was in the winter that this area is of the greatest interest. But I was mistaken - in the spring when the lake is freed from ice, and seals bask in the sun when the rosemary blooms - it is even more beautiful. If you're interested, here you can find my previous post about Lake Baikal in the winter. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10
Human-animal hybrids are set to be developed at the University of Tokyo after the Japanese government recently lifted a ban on the controversial stem-cell research. Hiromitsu Nakauchi—director for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Tokyo and team leader at Stanford’s Nakauchi Lab—is the first to receive approval for the questionable experiments which will att
We've seen truly terrifying bridges before, but nothing quite as scary-looking as the Eshima Ohashi Bridge in Japan. The bridge, which connects the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato, appears to go straight into the sky and suddenly drop off. Built high so that fishing boats can pass underneath, the structure fortunately isn't quite as steep as it looks. Nearly a mile long, the bridge has a gr
If trees could talk, this bonsai would certainly have a lot of to say. Planted in 1625, it’s lived a lot of history in its nearly 400 years. Currently located at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., it was gifted to the United States by bonsai master Masaru Yamaki in 1976. Little did the Arboretum know that this diminutive plant held a special secret. The Yamaki family had lived
Amarildo Silva is repurposing old, used car tires into classy animal beds for the thousands of strays running through the streets of his hometown. Silva lives in the city of Campina Grande, Brazil, where stray animals outnumber homeless people by over 500%! The compassionate young artist, who is only 23-years-old, has decided that it’s in his power to make a positive change for not just th
The International Space Station (ISS) is the single biggest spacecraft ever built, and one of the most sophisticated machines put in orbit by human kind. Against the fiery backdrop of our Sun, however, the achievement - roughly the size of a football field - looks decidedly puny. A dazzling picture, taken in broad daylight by photographer Rainee Colacurcio, shows just how insignificant the
Nature has an incredible way of making us feel like we’re living in a fairy tale. Whether it’s cloaking the landscape in a blanket of fog or wowing us with a rainbow of colors, one thing is clear: the Earth is a magical place. And what better way to make believe that you’re living in a story book than with picturesque nature tunnels? These unique passageways feature a bevy of flowers and tal
Probably a few of us know there’s a marvelous little word ‘monachopsis’ to describe a feeling most of us have from time to time and yes, we’re talking about the subtle sensation of being out of place for what seems like no reason at all. Despite that, we keep wondering if it’s us or the world surrounding us, or anything else but the answer is just absent. That’s exactly how this al
At just 13 years old, Josiah Launstein is already carrying on the family tradition of wildlife photography started by his father John. Recently named Young Outdoor Photographer of the Year for the second time, he is the first photographer to win the award twice. The first time he won, in 2015, he was the youngest-ever winner of the prize. The young Canadian photographer clearly has a love and p
