Researchers speculate the famous monument was one of the world’s first solar calendars, possibly inspired by trade with ancient Egyptians. 

In physics, we reduce things to their elementary, fundamental components, and build emergent things out of them. That’s not the full story.

Was this a moment when humans interbred with Neanderthals?

The pilot project is in 10 stores and is 85% accurate.

Even 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, we can reconstruct the first 3 minutes. About 100 years ago, we began to truly understand the nature of the Universe for the […]

Bolsheviks planned to erect a towering monument to the socialist cause, but their quixotic ideas never got off the ground.

With sodium-sensitive eyes, we’d see it every new Moon. With no detectable gases, the Moon appears to be atmosphere-free. The Moon as seen from a view above the majority of Earth’s […]

A new method is able to create realistic models of the human heart, which could vastly improve how surgeons train for complex procedures.

If light can’t be bent by electric or magnetic fields (and it can’t), then how do the Zeeman and Stark effects split atomic energy levels?

If you think you know how an astronomical nova works, buckle up. You’re in for a ride like you never expected.

The model is almost eight hours ahead of a doctor’s recognition of a patient’s deterioration.

Discover the history of homemade sugar skulls, home altars, and fantastical spirit animals.

In our Solar System, even the two brightest planets frequently align in our skies. But only rarely is it spectacularly visible from Earth.

Scientists use tripping rats to show that LSD disrupts communication between two key brain regions.

Move over, IC 1101. You may be impressively large, but you never stood a chance against the largest known galaxy: Alcyoneus.

Memory errors may actually indicate a way in which the human cognitive system is “optimal” or “rational.”

One player’s pawn is another’s farmer. And at one time, the queen was a rather powerless virgin.

1859’s Carrington event gave us a preview of how catastrophic the Sun could be for humanity. But it could get even worse than we imagined.

As important as his Nobel Prize-winning technical accomplishments was his ability to communicate to the public.

Our Universe requires dark matter in order to make sense of things, astrophysically. Could massive photons do the trick?

It rotates on its axis, revolves around the Sun, moves throughout the Milky Way, and gets carried by our galaxy all throughout space.

Lake Baikal holds nearly one-fourth of Earth’s fresh surface water and is the most scientifically interesting lake on our planet.

Hubble’s still going strong after 31+ years. James Webb will never make it that long. Every decision that’s made — in both astronomy and in life — comes with its own set of pros and […]

Once merely a theoretical curiosity, they might be the key to understanding so much more. Out of all of the known particles — both fundamental and composite — there are a whole slew of properties […]

With radio and X-ray data combined, we’re understanding how energy flows like never before. When we look out at the Universe on the largest cosmic scales of all, gravity is the […]

“I suddenly woke up one day and thought, you idiot, you are letting your life fade away, you have got to do something.”

This is a time for family and friends to gather, watch the full moon and eat mooncakes and other delicacies.

Are space and time real like atoms are, or is spacetime just a calculational tool? When most of us think about the Universe, we think about the material objects that […]

A cute mathematical trick can “rescale” the Universe so that it isn’t actually expanding. But can that “trick” survive all our cosmic tests?
