The U. S. space agency said it was awarding about $ 500 million each to develop the two missions, dubbed DAVINCI+ ( short for Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry and Imaging ) and VERITAS ( an acronym…

The newly discovered tomb, seen here from the south – west, was unearthed when workmen using a mechanical digger overturned a large stone slab above it, revealing the chamber beneath. The earliest accounts of Jesus’ burial come from the Canonical…

The fossil was discovered in Johnson County, Wyoming, which is one of seven US states the carnivores would have roamed in the Late Jurassic period between 145 and 161million years ago. This particular skeleton is estimated to be more than…

While the trees to absorb CO2, they were unable to hold onto the CO2 through sequestration. Research has shown that restoring forests by an area the size of the United States could cut carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by a…

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, manages the U.S. portion of these missions for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Since the Industrial Revolution, widespread fossil fuel usage has rocketed by a third. That’s because warm water gets warmer, it expands.…

In some scenarios, greenhouse gas pollution increased throughout the 20th century. Recent wildfires have also left a cake of dark soot that absorbs more sunlight, enhancing surface melt. And what caused them is punctuated sea level rise-sea level rise of…

Ability to regulate body heat emerged as dinosaurs decreased in size over millions of years. This evolutionary process allowed dinosaurs to burn energy from food at a faster rate and regulate their own body temperature by regulating their metabolic processes.…

Warmer surface water ponds, then the melt can cause more ice on Antarctica ice shelves to melt. If you have observed this in the heart of Antarctica you have encountered Pine Island Glacier. But the retreat of Arctic sea ice…

They can not only consume various forms of plastic, but also Styrofoam containing a common and toxic chemical additive. The study is the first to look at where chemicals in plastic end up after being broken down in a natural…

Researchers estimate that at least 325 billion metric tons would have been released by the impact. So what could have led to the extinction of dinosaurs also caused global firestorms that ravaged planet Earth. The impact of the giant asteroid…
