Four recently detected “blitzars” (red stars) have revealed that these sources of fleeting radio bursts are much more distant than known pulsars (black dots) (Image: C. Ng/MPIfR) You have almost certainly heard of quasars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and pulsars.

This week on IFLS, a female insect develops a penis-like sex organ, the Kepler team discovers the most Earth-like planet YET, a meteorite explodes over Russia (again!), and much more!

Two young lions had been silently stalking the buffalo for about 45 minutes when one finally made its move. But the predator was so focused on bringing down his prey that it left itself ope

This artist's illustration shows the planet Kepler-186f, the first Earth-size alien planet discovered in the habitable zone of its star. (Image: NASA Ames/SETI Institute/JPL-CalTech) For the first time, scientists have discovered an Earth-size alien planet in the habitable zone of its host star, an "Earth cousin" that just might have liquid water and the right conditions for life. The new
