Once considered extinct, giant coelacanths have been lurking in the ocean for hundreds of millions of years. The rarity and deep habitats of these fish make it difficult to study, but a new look at one species has now revealed that it can live much longer than we thought. How long? Well, these fish – which were originally thought to …

Credit: Yu Chen The giant rhino, Paraceraterium, is considered to be the largest terrestrial mammal that has ever lived and is found mainly in Asia, especially China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Pakistan. How this genus spread in Asia, however, has long been a mystery. A …

The tendrils of galaxies hundreds of millions of light-years long are the largest rotating object in the known universe. Scientists discovered these massive phenomena when they mapped the motion of cosmic threads, bridges of galaxies, and dark matter that connect the universe together and that direct galaxies to large clusters at their ends. After the birth of the Universe by …

The coelacanth – a giant, mysterious fish that survived the time of the dinosaurs – could live for 100 years, a study found. Slow-moving fish that grow to human size are called “living fossils” and also grow at a very slow rate. Females do not reach sexual maturity until the late 1950s, according to a study by French scientists, while …

Using gas velocity data, scientists observing Elias 2-27 were able to directly measure the mass of the young star’s protoplanetary disk and also track dynamic disturbances in the stellar system. Visible in this panel composite are the data of dust emissions of 0.87 mm (blue), together with the emissions of gases C18O (yellow) and 13CO (red). Credit: ALMA (ESO / …
