The Sudanese hill that looks just like a pair of ‘lips’ — no one knows why

In 2012, a Google Earth satellite captured an image of a striking hill formation in Sudan resembling human lips, dubbed the "Landlocked Lips." This unusual landmark, located in West Darfur, has sparked curiosity among researchers. Geologists suggest the formation may be an ancient dike, a resistant rock unit that erodes slower than its surroundings, creating the elevated ridge.

Earth shook every 90 seconds for 9 days in 2023; scientists finally reveal the shocking reason

In 2023, a mysterious 90-second seismic pulse baffled scientists worldwide, traced back to Greenland's Dickson Fjord. Researchers now attribute these rhythmic tremors to massive glacier-induced avalanches triggering seiches, giant oscillating waves within the fjord. This discovery, enabled by advanced satellite technology, underscores the escalating impact of climate change in remote Arctic regions, causing geological events with global seismic consequences.

Elon Musk’s feud with Trump puts $22B SpaceX contracts at risk; what it means for US space future

Tensions between Elon Musk and Donald Trump jeopardize SpaceX's $22 billion in government contracts, potentially disrupting NASA and Pentagon missions. Concerns rise over the future of lunar exploration and national security launches due to possible funding cuts. The conflict underscores the risk of relying heavily on a single company for space access, threatening America's leadership in space.

Dinosaurs had cancer 70 million years ago, new study offers clues for cancer treatment

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have confirmed a 70-million-year-old duck-billed dinosaur, Telmatosaurus Transsylvanicus, suffered from a benign jaw tumour, ameloblastoma. This remarkable finding, in present-day Romania, links ancient and modern biology, offering insights into cancer's evolution. Researchers used advanced imaging, discovering preserved proteins and structures resembling red blood cells.

How NASA fund cuts offer a chance for transformation

NASA faces a significant budget cut in 2026, potentially reshaping the agency. The proposed cuts threaten science programs and human spaceflight initiatives, including the ISS. However, this crisis presents an opportunity to transform NASA into a more agile agency by leveraging commercial partnerships and focusing on mission planning while outsourcing infrastructure development.
