Wir wohnen in einer Wohnung, und manchmal ertappen wir uns dabei, wie wir aus dem Fenster in die uns gegenüberli

Some 375 million years ago, Tiktaalik emerged onto land. Today, explains paleontologist Neil Shubin, we're all walking around in modified fish bodies.

We all know the Darwin fish, the car-bumper send-up of the Christian "ichthys" symbol, or Jesus fish. Unlike the Christian s

A 500-POUND lion and a cute miniature sausage dog have completely turned the idea of "fighting like cats and dogs" on its head.

The two have been inseparable over the past five years at G.W Exotic Animal Park in Wynnewood, Oklah

Using the most powerful particle collider in the world, a research group at CERN has forged a particle made of four quarks, the European organization announced yesterday. Most particles of matter in the universe today consist of two or three quarks. Over the past decade, however, particle-accelerator projects all over the world have gathered some evidence that a few different kinds of

This “celestial diamond ring” is really the planetary nebula Abell 33. A cosmic diamond ring sparkles 2,500 light-years from Earth. A powerful telescope in Chile has captured an image of a planetary nebula and a bright star that together look eerily similar to a diamond ring in deep space. The European Southern Observatory released the photo of the planetary nebula Abell 33 and t

This caused an uproar among bloggers in basements everywhere claiming it was evidence of alien life, but NASA ultimately ruled the rock had been flung to its present location Tiddlywink-style un
