says it has discovered two new “super-Earth” type planets about 100 light-years away, one of which may be suitable for life. Unlike any of the planets in our solar system, the two newly-discovered super-Earths are larger than Earth, but lighter than icy planets like Uranus and Neptune...

Search and rescue teams are often accompanied by man’s best friend. A dog’s superior sense of smell can be critical to finding survivors buried under fallen buildings. But now a new animal is being trained to assist search and rescue teams after an earthquake hits, and it’s the rat. ...
The formation of stars and planets is accompanied not only by the build-up of matter, namely accretion, but also by its expulsion in the form of highly supersonic jets that can stretch for several parsecs1,2. As accretion and jet activity are correlated and because young stars acquire most...
Although all four giant planets have ring systems, Saturn’s is by far the most massive and impressive. Scientists are trying to understand why by studying how the rings have formed and how they have evolved over time. Three recent studies by NASA researchers and their partners provide evidence...
Tardigrades were discovered in 1773 by the German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze, who nicknamed them "little water bears." Three years later, Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani named the group "Tardigrada," or "slow stepper," for the way they move. Scientists have identified about 1,30...

Lab-grown diamonds (LGDs) are nothing new. People have been trying to recreate the exact conditions that make them form in the earth since it was first discovered that diamonds were made from pure carbon in 1797. This was finally successfully achieved in the 1950s, with Howard Tracy Hall,...
Last year we had a new classmate. 1 name is Danny. He was tall and handsome with dark brown eyes. Many classmates liked him. One day, we 2 that we would have a school trip at the end of the month. The whole class got very excited and the girls began to discuss what to wear...
Quick, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, decided to explore whether—hypothetically—there areplanetssimilar to Europa and Enceladus in the Milky Way galaxy. And, could they, too, be geologically active enough to shoot plumes through their surfaces that could one day ...
