Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, pictured to the right of the gas giant in the Cassini spacecraft view. Scientists have discovered methane lakes in the tropical areas of Saturn’s moon Titan, one of which is about half the size of Utah’s Great Salt Lake, with a depth of at least one meter. The longstanding bodies of liquid were detected by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which has been... 

A computer visualization of dark matter in the Universe which scientists have previously battled to explain People often say that time speeds up as we age, but if the latest scientific theory is true the opposite could well be the case. The radical theory by academics suggests that time itself could be slowing down – and may eventually grind to a halt altogether. The latest mind-bending findings...

Scientists laser scanned several skeletons of modern-day mammals in order to measure the minimum amount of skin needed to cover them Biologists at the University of Manchester have developed a method of measurement, which shows that dinosaurs were not as big and heavy as previously though. According to the study, published in the journal Biology Letters, scientists laser scanned several skeletons of... 

Researchers studied the rocky soil samples from the volcanoes in the Atacama region in South American that have conditions similar to Mars. A team of researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder has found a type of organism that can survive the most inhospitable conditions on Earth. “We haven’t formally identified or characterized the species. But these are very different than anything... 

Astronomers have found a rectangular galaxy that bucks the typical spheroidal, disc-like, or lumpy shapes. Astronomers have found a rectangular galaxy in a wide field-of-view image taken with the Japanese Subaru Telescope for Swinburne astrophysicist Dr. Lee Spitler. The unusual cosmic phenomenon was discovered 70 million light years away within a group of 250 galaxies. “In the Universe around us,... 

The team takes several highly magnified images of the different aspects of the species and then combines the pictures into one final image. Scientists at the California Academy of Sciences have developed a project to capture three-dimensional (3D) images of every known ant species in the world. The team has been taking photographs of the ant species in museums around the world by using a technique...
