New Alien World Getting Destroyed By Parent Star
First Posted: Jun 14, 2016 05:00 AM EDT A newborn exoplanet is reportedly getting annihilated by its host star. According to a recent research, scientists have found that a hot Jupiter extra solar planet named PTFO8-8695b is being stripped of its gaseous atmosphere at an accelerated rate. The alien world is just 2 million years old, which makes it a baby in terms of planetary age. The researching team of scientists found that the strong gravity of the new planet's host star was ripping away ..>> view originalHubble Space Telescope Spots Solitary Dwarf Galaxy
The Hubble Space Telescope spotted a very isolated irregular dwarf galaxy 2.3 million light-years away from its closest neighbor. UGC 4879 can help astronomers study star formations. ( NASA/ESA ) The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted an irregular dwarf galaxy. This type of galaxy does not have the distinct regular shape of elliptical and spiral galaxies. It is also slightly smaller and more chaotic in appearance when compared with other galaxies. Dubbed UGC 4879, the galaxy is..>> view originalScientists trick bacteria cells into storing data
Bacteria cells have been turned into data carrying hard drives by Harvard scientists.HARVARD scientists have used a relatively new gene splicing technique to effectively create “hard drives” that are alive. A team of scientists at the prestigious university, led by geneticists Seth Shipman and Jeff Nivala, were able to upload approximately 100 bytes of data into living cells by exploiting the bacteria’s immune response.They used a recently developed — and somewhat controversial technology — know..>> view originalEvidence Found for Secret Terror Weapon of the Romans
Archeologists have unearthed a set of Roman lead sling bullets which were used against the barbarian foes in Scotland. The bullets were found to make a piercing whistle noise when hurled through the air, a sound thought to have been used to strike terror in their enemies 1,800 years ago. According to an article published recently by LiveScience, the bullets were discovered at Burnswark Hill in southwestern Scotland. The find was made during the excavation of a field where a massive attack of th..>> view originalBarrier Reef rodent is first mammal declared extinct due to climate change
University of Queensland and Queensland Government researchers have confirmed that the Bramble Cay melomys – the only mammal species endemic to the Great Barrier Reef - is the first mammal to go extinct due to human-induced climate change. In a newly published report, the scientists conducted a comprehensive survey in 2014 but failed to find any trace of the rodent. The rodent was known only to live on a small (4 ha) coral cay, just 340m long and 150m wide in the Torres Strait, between Queenslan..>> view originalWorld's oldest beer brought back to life, scientists claim

A rare marsupial mole, spotted just a handful of times a decade, has been captured on film by an Indigenous women's group travelling through the Gibson Desert in Western Australia. The silky haired mole was spotted by a group of local Aboriginal women and rangers on a bush foods trip near the Northern Territory border, near Lake Mackay, on Monday.

Wildlife experts will soon start using two software systems to ideally match wild koalas and bilbies for breeding based on their genes. Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation staff said the matchmaking process – dubbed "Tinder for koalas" – is aimed at boosting wild populations, with genetic evaluations used to keep them healthy and as strong. "We think our Tinder is a better option," foundation director Al Mucci said. "We want little guys… and lots of them returned back to the wild in those fragmente..>> view originalMartian dust storms could make life interesting for future astronauts
Space Martian dust storms could make life interesting for future astronauts Anthony Wood June 13, 2016 NASA scientists have discovered that three powerful dust storms which occur each Martian year could pose a hazard to astronauts undertaking a mission to the Red Planet. The discovery also represents a rare opportunity for planetary scientists to gain an insight regarding the processes at ..>> view originalKepler spies largest exoplanet yet that orbits two stars
Space Kepler spies largest exoplanet yet that orbits two stars Nick Lavars June 14, 2016 Planets that orbit two stars have traditionally been difficult to detect. Despite decades of suspicion, we didn't even spot our first one until 2011 and even now their irregular orbits make life tricky for those in the planet-hunting game. NASA has today confirmed the discovery of the largest of these cir..>> view original
