SPACE travel could one day be as easy as getting in a lift thanks to a new proposal. A team of scientists have been working on a concept called Spaceline, which is essentially a type…
Scientists have revealed the Loch Ness Monster could actually be a real creature in the form of a ’giant eel’ after a major DNA investigation of the Scottish lake. After centuries of various people claiming…
DESIGNS for the ‘first space hotel’ have been revealed and it’s as weird and futuristic as you would expect. The orbiting space station is designed to accommodate 400 guests and has facilities that you find…
The life of an asteroid is lonely. The rocks spend eons drifting through the cold vacuum of space. But on Wednesday, the asteroid Ryugu welcomed a special visitor: Japan’s Hayabusa-2 probe successfully landed on the asteroid’s surface at 21:06 ET(01:06…
