A team of scientists claims that sugar molecules have been found in two different fallen meteorites – crucial to the evolution of life on Earth. The discovery suggests that meteor impacts may have delivered sugars to Earth, according to a NASA release. One of sugars is the ribose of the RNA component, a key biological building block, and the discovery …

Hot day. A bee buzzes for a drink in a nearby lake, but oh no! Its wings just connected to the surface of the water; now it is stuck and aerodynamics are no longer an option. Is she safe? According to the best estimates of scientists, the bee has only minutes before gravity threatens to pull it into the depths. …

The oncoming meteor shower this week is not your typical one: Alpha monokeroids can turn into a rare meteor storm on the evening of November 21st. Astronomers say stars can see several meteors per minute, according to AccuWeather. You will need to be fast because the peak of alpha monceroids is only about an hour long. Look for shooting stars …

For the modern astronomer, satellites are only a part of life. Currently, about 2000 are active around 2000, and the smartest minds in space photography have been able to come up with clever ways to eliminate the occasional overflights from their space images. But there is a Starlink. The first stages of SpaceX's plan to launch up to 42,000 satellites …

According to a report, the year is about 85% likely to become the second warmest year. This year is increasingly likely to be the second or third warmest calendar year on the planet, recorded since modern temperature data collection begins in 1880, according to figures released this week by the National Oceanic Administration and atmospheric influences. This reflects the growing …

Enlarge / A sketch made by a participant in the study of visualizations during their experience. People under the influence of psychedelic beer, known as ayahuasca, often experience vivid visual and auditory hallucinations and also report feeling as if they were in a dream. Now, a new study published in Scientific Reports has shown that the drug alters the user's …

It looks like SpaceX's shiny new prototype of SpaceX has entered the test phase. The full-size Starship Mk1 vehicle was "breathing" during an apparent pressure test yesterday evening (November 18) at SpaceX's facilities near Boca Chica Village in South Texas. The cornerstone was shot and posted on Twitter by @SpacePadreIsle which closely follows the activity of Boca Chica's website. Another …

While some in the scientific community believe that finding extraterrestrial life "will probably take a long time," others believe that extraterrestrials may be more widespread than previously thought. New research suggests that intelligent life is likely to inhabit a star system drastically different from ours. The researchers modeled a theoretical Earth in binary star systems – those with two stars …
