Incredible visualization by NASA shows the catastrophic effect that climate change has had on our planet over the past two decades. The latest NASA visualization shows 20 years of non-stop examination of plant life on land and at ocean’s surface, from 1997 to 2017. This conceptualization was created with the data from satellites including SeaWiFS […]
As recently studied by scientists, the deadly snakes and a wide variety of lizards based in Australia might actually have hailed from Asia.

A supposedly massive planet which shouldn’t exist at all according to known theory has been found by the scientists orbiting a relatively faint dwarf star which is a reason for a surprise as it negates everything that we know about the formation of worlds. A giant planet orbiting around a star so small has posed […]
The animal kingdom has always been one step ahead in adaptation to survive amidst Mother Nature, and their unique traits have always found a way into our modern science. After recent studies conducted on spider silk, the scientists have come up with a new hope for the people with hearing disabilities. According to the scientists, […]
NASA’s Kepler mission has provided insights into the potential alien world by marking the discovery of 20 new Exoplanets which might be habitable as suggested by the scientists. This significant breakthrough could be a potential to find the 2nd Earth proving that there are other habitable planets other than just ours. According to the scientists […]
