Earth?s First Known Mass Extinction Event Starved Life of Oxygen
08 Nov 19:00:17 | Universe Today
650 million years ago, Earth was completely or almost completely frozen, according to the Snowball Earth Hypothesis. As the atmosphere changed and Earth warmed up, it heralded the beginning of the Ediacaran Period. The Ediacaran Period marks the first time multicellular life was widespread on the planet. It predates the more well-known Cambrian Period, when …

The Perfect Tidal Tail Connects These two Galaxies Seen by Hubble
07 Nov 19:00:35 | Universe Today
Sometimes it’s tempting to imagine a supernatural hand behind the arrangement of celestial bodies. But the Universe is big, huge even, and nature’s flow presents many fascinations. So it is with the galactic triplet Arp 248, an arrangement of interacting galaxies that’s both visually and scientifically fascinating. Arp 248 is a trio of small interacting …

This is Probably the Last Picture we?ll see From InSight on Mars
07 Nov 19:00:34 | Universe Today
It’s almost time to say goodbye to another Martian friend. Plenty of missions to the Red Planet have gone silent for the last time, some after many successful years of data collection and some after a brief free-fall as a fireball. We will soon add another Martian explorer to that ever-growing list – InSight might …

When Black Holes Collide They Also Produce Neutrinos
06 Nov 19:00:07 | Universe Today
Ever since astronomers first detected ultra high energy neutrinos coming from random directions in space, they have not been able to figure out what generates them. But a new hypothesis suggests an unlikely source: the mergers of black holes. Neutrinos are extremely ghostly particles. The carry no electric charge and they interact only rarely with …

Mars is Mostly Dead. There's Still Magma Inside, so it's Slightly Alive
06 Nov 19:00:05 | Universe Today
NASA's InSight lander has detected many marsquakes coming from the same region, which could mean that the Red Planet still experiences volcanic activity

It?s Tough to Find Evidence of Stars Eating Planets
05 Nov 20:00:20 | Universe Today
Tragically sometimes stars engulf their own planets. While most stars are able to quickly cover up the evidence for their crime, a new study by astronomers has revealed that in some cases the evidence can linger for up to two billion years. There are a variety of ways in which a planet can end up …

IceCube Senses Neutrinos Streaming From an Active Galaxy 47 Million Light-Years Away
04 Nov 20:00:09 | Universe Today
Researchers using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory have detected neutrinos emanating from the energetic core of an active galaxy millions of light-years away. Neutrinos are difficult to detect, and finding them originating from the galaxy is a significant development. What does the discovery mean? Neutrinos are strange particles. For a long time, scientists thought these elementary …
