We all are aware of the fact that billions of years ago, there was very little oxygen on Earth to breathe. Scientist of University of California at Riverside (UCR) have researched when in Earth's history oxygen may have abundant. Curious to know how origins of Earth survived?

Scientist are researching about geologic history that may help to solve the riddle of the "Cambrian explosion," the rapid diversification of animal life in the fossil record. Learn more about what Cambrian explosion is and how it has affected animal's life in the past.

NASA scientist have found proof that our Milky Way had an encounter with a small galaxy or massive dark matter structure perhaps as recently as 100 million years ago. Are you also interested to know how galaxies form, evolve and interact?

A new theory suggests that life on Earth could have started due to an epic clash with another planet. This hypothetical planet is called Theia, and some experts believe that it is also responsible for breaking a portion of the Earth and sending it at full speed into space and eventually becoming our Moon.

The Galaxy Zoo files contain almost a quarter of a million galaxies which have been imaged with a camera attached to a robotic telescope (the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, no less). In order to understand how these galaxies - and our own - formed, we need your help to classify them according to their shapes - a task at which your brain is better than even the fastest computer.

The Tau Zero Foundation is a volunteer group of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and writers who have agreed to work together toward practical interstellar flight and to use this quest to teach you about science, technology, and our place in the universe. By posting the latest developments and unfinished advancements here, we give students the starting materials to begin their own discoveries. By showing both how daunting and incredible this challenge is, we hope to increase attention on protecting the habitability of Earth while planning journeys into the galaxy. By reaching for the stars we will create benefits every step of the way.

Stuart Clark tells for the first time the full story behind Carrington's observations of a mysterious explosion on the surface of the Sun and how his brilliant insight-that the Sun's magnetism directly influences the Earth-helped to usher in the modern era of astronomy.

It's a cute graphic, but not much more than that. You move the cursor and the simulated night sky moves in response - and it's a great example of how the Internet can take us in the wrong direction. Do you remember kids getting books and ... gasp ... going outdoors at night, looking upward and finding those constellations, instead of searching for them on an animation?

Why and how did the Thirty Meter Telescope project decide to build at Mauna Kea?

It appears Hubble's new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) is working. And how! The new camera installed during Servicing Mission 4 in May has delivered the most

Astronomy is more hot these days than ever before. As a result, all kinds of astronomy equipment can be found, which leads to confusion and leads to unnecessary or wrong purchasing decisions. When you start your way to astronomy, having to spend half an hour to three quarters of an hour to put together the gear is sure to put you inside watching Groundhog day rerun.

How do I know that there is a dark band called Cassini division in the rings of Saturn? I ve read it in a book. There are numerous books about astronomy out there, but here are three, which are, I think, essential beginners reading.

"Breakthrough Listen data are stored in technical formats that require specialized software to analyze, and file sizes can be several gigabytes. Before downloading files from our public archive, we recommend you familiarize yourself with how the data are stored. A good place to start is with the educational materials provided by Berkeley SETI Research Center."
