Startled, Therese had a feeling they needed to stop. “[I] yelled to watch out and pull over,” Therese told The Dodo. As she inched closer, she saw them — three baby ot

A Supernova Explosion Will Be Visible In The Sky In 2037

The supernova explosion will appear at least two more times in the next 20 years.     Astronomers have discovered the third appearance of a gravitationally lensed supernova explosion dubbed Supernova Requiem. The images of the phenomenon appear alternately in a distant galaxy. Astronomers have predicted the next two times that the remnant will be visible in the sky. The fourt

Zoo celebrates birth of newborn eastern bongo, a critically endangered species

It’s always a special day at a zoo when a new baby animal is born, especially when they are a part of an endangered species.

Raccoon Forms Sweetest Friendship With Deer Who Lost Her Mom

Last year, licensed wildlife rehabilitator Carrie Long received a call about a baby raccoon in distress.

We’re About To Witness A Super-Rare Planetary Alignment In March’s Early Morning Sky

Depending on the time of year, we may view various amazing sights out in space when we gaze up into the night sky. Unfortunately, the sky has seemed relatively empty during the last month. But, as it turns out, all you have to do is know WHEN to look. The planets visible to the naked eye are now on the opposite side of the planet (the sun-facing side.) Every evening of the month, you might g

NASA has discovered an ‘ocean world’ where one year lasts just 11 days

NASA has discovered a water planet 100 million light years away from Earth that completes an orbit of its star every 11 days. A group of astronomers at the Université de Montréal came across the ocean planet through NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite or TESS, according to a study published in The Astronomical Journal. CNET reports that the planet covered by a blanket of water,

Mexico’s Tule Tree Has the World’s Thickest Trunk, And It’s Still Growing

Located a church courtyard, in the picturesque town of Santa Maria del Tule, the Tree of Tule is a 2,000-year-old Montezuma cypress famous for having the world’s thickest trunk. So just how thick is Mexico’s Tule Tree? Well, it takes thirty people with arms extended joining hands to fully encircle it, so that should give you an idea. Officially, it has a circumference of 42 meters, which so
