Scientists have long struggled to find a plausible explanation to the baffling question surrounding the mysterious origin of the blood-red waterfall that streams down Antarctica’s Taylor Glacier. However, that’s about to change now. First spotted by geoscientist Griffith Taylor way back in 1911, the source of the creepy red flow of Blood Falls may finally […]
Atmospheric CO2 Levels Reach Their Highest in Millions of Years: Mauna Loa Observatory
Talking about climate change has become so routine that we don’t find it alarming anymore. Whatever our attitude may be towards climate change, the situation is indeed terrifying. The latest numbers recorded by the Mauna Loa Observatory show that the CO2 levels are sky-high, in fact, the highest we have ever seen. As per the […]
SpaceX to Create History by Relaunching Used Falcon 9 Rocket on Thursday
Elon Musk-led SpaceX is just hours away from creating history by re-firing a Falcon 9 rocket that has been used before. No space agency — private or government owned — has been able to pull off this feat before. Traditionally, rockets have been one-use only ever since the dawn of the space age. This is […]
NASA Spots Monster Black Hole Being Kicked Out of Its Galaxy by Gravitational Waves
Demonstrating the immense force that gravitational waves carry, astronomers detected a supermassive black hole being evicted from the core of its home galaxy. The discovery was made using NASA’s Hubble telescope and it reaffirms what the scientists have been assuming all this time. The gravitational waves carry the energy of 100 million supernovae and the […]

LHC Particle Accelerator Dismisses The Existence Of “Ghosts”
Ghosts have been a subject of interest for science for a very long time. Though the books and research have always negated the reality of ghosts. Still, throughout the decades, scientists have pursued the research. Brian Cox, who is a professor of astronomy and physics in University of Manchester, have denied the existence of Ghosts […]
World’s Only Piece of Metallic Hydrogen Disappears Weeks After Being Created
It was just last month that Harvard researchers were able to finally create metallic hydrogen to achieve the “holy grail of high-pressure physics”. The metallic hydrogen is a form of hydrogen that can conduct electricity at room temperature without resistance. And now the only sample of the metallic hydrogen is missing from the lab. The […]
