Shocking but true: space hurricanes exist and they’ve just been verified.

Our quest for space exploration is heading to a brand new chapter, as a Seattle startup called Interlune gears up to revolutionize energy, tech, and our everyday lives. They’re tackling lunar mining to extract helium-3, a rare isotope worth a whopping $20 million per kilogram, setting off a potential energy revolution.

Lava planets, some the size of Earth, are pushing the limits of our understanding of planetary science. These extreme extremities orbit perilously close to their stars, completing a year in less than a single day. With surface temperatures capable of melting or even vaporizing rock, these worlds present conditions that are unlike anything we see on Earth, Mars, or Venus. But it’s these very challenges that may provide insights into the evolution of rocky planets over billions of years.

NASA has reported the finding of a distant planet that may host life.

Nature offers the best inspirations for scientific innovation. For almost a hundred years, scientists have explored how certain animals can enter a state of torpor, letting them endure extreme situations by lowering their body temperature and metabolic rate to save energy.

Astrophysicists are buzzing over a new interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS, which some experts suggest could be more than just a comet—it might be an alien artifact. Spotted on July 1, this mystery object zooms through space at an astonishing speed of over 130,000 mph and is forecasted to make its closest approach to the Sun later this year, possibly affecting Earth’s orbit in late 2025.

Squeezing the guts out of Antarctic sea spiders through their legs helps scientists explore how these creatures survive in extreme conditions.

Researchers have identified a 430-mile stretch of ancient, extinct volcanoes located beneath South China’s Yangtze Block, originating from the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia.

Scientists from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague have made a remarkable advancement in creating callunene, a chemical that helps protect bumblebees from a harmful gut parasite. Their recent study revealed that this compound can be synthesized in a straightforward form, which opens avenues for safeguarding important pollinator populations.
