Gazers could have struggled to get a clear view of the celestial event last night thanks to cloud cover, however some watchers surely got an incredible glimpse at the special event. Those who were very lucky were able to see the planets of Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter in the sky. The name Pink Moon

The theory has resurfaced online after lying dormant since around 2006 when the Flat Earth Society originally floated the idea. Some 50,000 people joined the bandwagon earlier this month when Facebook user Shelley Floryd shared a status update, explaining why she thinks Australia does not exist. She wrote: “Australia does not exist. All things you

A geology student from the University of Cincinnati has partnered with US space agency NASA for the incredible new study. Doctoral candidate Andrew Gangidine alongside UC geology professor Andrew Czaja are looking to create a special marker for bacterial life on Mars. The two scientists are hoping the sulphurous pits of Yellowstone volcano are the

The Steamboat Geyser at Yellowstone National Park can spout 300 feet of scalding water into the air, a feature of the world’s tallest active geyser. That is known. What isn’t known is why is the geyser has erupted three times (Mar 15, Apr 19 & Apr 27) in the past six weeks, including one event

It is the source of one of the world’s most popular mineral waters, but the eastern French town of Vittel risks running dry. Nestle seems to have tapped and sold too much of it. This may also occur just around your corner. Next is Michigan, probably! Is Nestle responsible for water shortages in the town

Next month, the Defense Department is expected to bid out a lucrative contract that will task a single cloud provider with building the cloud the U.S. military will use for war. Amazon and Google are taking on defense contractors in a heated battle for billions in government contracts. And the cloud is called … JEDI.

Purveyors of the Planet X conspiracy theory, also known as the Nibiru or Wormwood cataclysm, believe a rogue planetary system is on a collision course with Earth. Nibiru is believed by many to orbit the Sun every 3,600 years, each time bringing with it widespread chaos and destruction across the surface of the planet. But

Just to get out of boredom. Here’s an audio book of Moby Dick in which each chapter is read by a different personality for example Chapter 1: Tilda Swinton. Chapter 10: Stephen Fry. Chapter 30: David Cameron. Yes, THE David Cameron. Chapter 58: Benedict Cumberbatch. Chapter 95: John Waters. Chapter 105: David Attenborough. Enjoy! http://www.mobydickbigread.com/

Alien enthusiasts have been scouring pictures of the surface of Mars and believe they have found the proof they’ve been looking for. Joe White, 45, a space video journalist from Bristol, looked through images from the Curiosity Rover and said he has found images of a fallen statue which look like the head of an

Scientists have long pondered the possibility of such a groundbreaking feat and one leading expert believes time travel will happen providing there is money available to do it. Speaking on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli explained travelling forward through time is possible. He said: “It is just a matter of money to

The full moon was hung spectacularly in the skies above Earth last night as April’s Pink Moon lit up the sky.  Star-gazers may have struggled to get a clear view of the moon as clouds covered the stars for much of the night, but many watchers were lucky to get a look.  Peaking at 8:58pm

From the popular category “Here Our Nuclear Power is SAFE”, today, Belgian medias report a leak at the Belgian nuclear power plant Doel 1. But no worry… the leak is difficult to access and workers can only stay in place for a short time due to the radiation. Now the reactor will remain off the

A third eruption has rocked the Yellowstone volcano at the National Park today, according to geologists. The eruption shook parts of the West Thumb Geyser Basin, marking the third reported eruption in six weeks.  The national park has was hit by another eruption as early as Friday, at the Steamboat Geyser, the largest of its

The Frankenstein-esque experiment saw scientists revive the brains of around 200 pigs which were brought in from slaughter houses. The brains were resuscitated through a series of tubes fed into the head which pumped heat and artificial blood into the brain. Scientists from Yale University said that billions of cells in the brain began acting

However it is quickly thinning, losing around 50 billion tonnes of ice every year, scientists say. The UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) will deploy scientists to investigate what is causing ice loss at the glacier, how quickly it could collapse and how that would impact global sea

THE pink moon lit up night skies last night across the world providing a celestial treat for lunar observers – here are the best pictures of the April Moon. Cloudy skies may have blighted the view for some stargazers but others were fortunate enough to see a glowing orb in the sky for the last

The term Pink Moon refers to the last full moon of April – the name originates from the ground phlox, a flower that blooms in early spring. The emergence of the flower happens at roughly the same time as the full moon, this gave the lunar event its name. Despite the name, the moon is

While abnormally cold weather continues to grip the Eastern United States, an enormous heat dome, parked over Germany, has covered a large part of the continent in record or near-record warmth. A full-fledged dose of summer weather has overtaken much of Europe. High temperatures in the 70s and 80s (roughly 20 to 30 Celsius) were

Bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen that causes pneumonia, sepsis and other infections, communicates distress signals within a group of bacteria in response to certain antibiotics. This communication was found to vary across the colony and suggests that this bacterium may develop protective behaviors that contribute to its ability to tolerate some antibiotics. Bacteria communicate in

Tonight, stargazers will be in for a lunar treat as there will be a full pink moon hanging over the Earth. The term is used to refer to April’s full moon, but don’t expect to look up to the sky and find a blast of cotton-candy-pink. The name of the Pink Moon actually comes from

The video was captured by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) on April 25. The event is just one in a series of overflows occurring at Kilauea, with the most current recorded on Thursday. A statement on the USGS website said: “At approximately 6.15am today (April 26) a new overflow began on

Geologists at the Yellowstone National Park have announced that a third eruption was recorded at a geyser site which rests on top of the masssive active volcano. The US National Park Service revealed that a park visitor first spotted the rare eruption of Steamboat Geyser on Friday morning.  The “unusual” amount of eruptions at the

The full Pink Moon will peak this weekend on Sunday, April 29 at 8.58pm (1.58am BST on April 30). In New York the Pink Moon will rise at about 7.30pm on April 29 and in the UK it will peak early in the morning on Monday, April 30. This moon is known as the Pink

Around 100 clinics and hospitals are working with Samsung to provide patients with therapy which eliminates the need for addictive painkillers. Trials show that using virtual reality headsets takes people’s minds of wounds and injuries by reducing pain as much as 53 per cent as well as anxiety by 60 per cent – which is

Not only are black holes the most violent places in the universe, they may also hold the key to our understanding of it. If we can figure out black holes, we may also be able to determine just how our universe formed. Size of black holes. But as they will swallow up before we understand

Following the crack eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise on April 4, 2018, a progressive increase in seismicity on April 27 evolved into a seismic crisis, accompanied by a rapid deformation indicating that magma is spreading to the surface, around 8:15pm on April 27, 2018, finally leading to a furious eruption on the south
