Brad Tucker often receives calls from people who believe they have found space junk. Usually it’s something else. “This time it […]

Jurassic insects carried clusters of eggs on their feet. Paleontologists recently discovered evidence of this parenting behavior in remarkably well-preserved fossils in China. This would be the first example of brood care in an insect species. Brood care improves the chances of survival of the offspring by ensuring protection and/or access to food by the […]

Objective: circumnavigate the Moon and return to Earth to prepare for the return of humans there. A few days ago, NASA operated the fourth […]

A new report from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) details the discovery of thousands of artifacts released by melting ice. Among them is a small shoe worn more than 3,000 years ago. Within decades, large areas of Norwegian ice sheets began to melt, exposing perfectly preserved artifacts. These plates form at high […]
