The Tethys Seaway, Earth’s lost ocean, vanished and sparked epic changes—shaping deserts, evolution, and the planet’s future in ways you won’t believe!

I do love the names of the European Southern Observatory installations. You are familiar I’m sure with the Very Large Telescope but have you heard of the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope? It was intended to house a 100m mirror but never got commissioned due to its complexity. There is however, an Extremely Large Telescope with a 39 metre mirror and its due to be completed in a couple of years. This image was taken on 12 April 2025 by photographer Eduardo Garcés showing its progress.

The ELT is leaping toward the stars, quite literally — its massive dome, once skeletal, is now clad in protective armor, shielding delicate optics from the desert. Inside, a cutting-edge marvel is taking shape, including the 39-meter-wide mirror built from 798 segments that promises to collect ce

The massive dome measures 305 feet (93 meters) in diameter, or about the size of a football field and stands 263 feet (80 meters) tall.

Turn your attention upward early tomorrow morning for a chance to see a couple of rare celestial shows.

Some of the smallest animals in the world can still be a canvas for art.

You should go look at it. It’s fun.

NASA has seized a rare planetary alignment to study Uranus in detail—unlocking new clues about the ice giant’s atmosphere, rings, and mysterious heat signature.

Scientists have found scour marks on the seabed made by giant icebergs about 18,000 years ago, and they could offer clues to the fate of Antarctica’s ice

According to experts from the Technical University of Denmark, you can only eat 255g of chicken or pork a week without harming the planet.

Fifteen observatories across the US, Mexico, and Hawai’i looked at the planet eclipsing a star.

A new study reveals there was a time when massive icebergs, like the ones we see in Antarctica today, were drifting less than 90 miles off the UK.

Deep tracks gouged in the seafloor off the coast of Scotland could help us understand Antarctica today.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has made another fascinating discovery on Mars, as the space agency’s scientists are left scratching their heads over a ‘float rock’ that was found on the Martian surface

NASA’s Perroverance rover has discovered a mystery rock on Mars that is baffling scientists as they believe it originated from elsewhere, with the team currently working to understand where on Mars the rock formed

To view the cosmic conjunction, skywatchers need only look to the east in the pre-dawn sky.

NASA’s Perseverance rover spots eerie skull-like rock on Mars, leaving scientists puzzled over its mysterious origins.

The planets are set to align in a rare ‘smiley face’ with the Moon this week
