Species Presumed Extinct for 60 Years Found Alive by Underwater Drone
A coral reef ecosystem off the coast of Benin, written off by researchers for 60 years, has been rediscovered intact and thriving — captured on live video by an underwater drone operating in the poorly surveyed mesophotic zone.
Ancient DNA Survived 50,000 Years in a South African Cave Despite the Heat
Scientists extracted ancient DNA from a 50,000-year-old antelope tooth found in a South African cave, upending the assumption that warm climates make DNA preservation impossible and forcing a rethink of how long genetic material can survive in heat.
Why SpaceX Falcon 9 Flies South From Vandenberg — Not East Like Florida
When SpaceX's Falcon 9 lifts off from Vandenberg Space Force Base, it heads south over the Pacific instead of east — a deliberate consequence of orbital mechanics, FAA safety rules, and the polar orbits that Starlink needs to reach high-latitude users.
Voyager 1 Reaches One Light-Day from Earth at 2:16 a.m., November 18, 2026
At 2:16 a.m. on November 18, 2026, Voyager 1 will become the first human-made object to reach one full light-day from Earth — 16,094,799,096 miles — a crossing NASA has calculated to the precise second using Doppler tracking and the Deep Space Network.
Ancient Greek Theater and Rare Hippodrome Found at Libya’s Apollonia
Excavations at Apollonia — the ancient seaport of Cyrene in northeastern Libya, also known locally as Susa — have revealed a previously unrecorded seafront Greek theater, a rare Hellenistic hippodrome, and a sanctuary, a tripartite civic complex that is already prompting scholars to reassess the depth of Greek urban culture in North Africa.
A Protein That Shields the Brain From Alzheimer’s — Even in High-Risk People
New research in 2025 has identified naturally occurring proteins that defend the brain against Alzheimer's damage, offering a potential path toward prevention rather than just treatment — even for those with high genetic risk.Load More
