Fresh genetic clues on the usual Neanderthal stereotype suggest shifting features and far more variety than old drawings promised. One ancient genome nudges the familiar face into new territory and opens a surprisingly colorful story.
A second dinosaur image brings back a familiar idea, a quiet hope shaped by years of movie fantasy. Yet the real science behind cloning and ancient DNA shows a tougher reality, where time, decay, and biology shut the door completely.
Hearing the planet shifted feels like news we shouldn’t brush off. It doesn’t change your morning routine, yet the effect shows up in the activities that rely on Earth staying perfectly aligned.
For generations, people have passed around the comforting idea that lightning never strikes the same place twice. But nature doesn’t follow our sayings. In reality, lightning plays favorites, and those favorites are usually the tallest things around: skyscrapers, trees, mountain peaks, and even television towers. Lightning is not random chaos.

After a woman suffered an allergic reaction, she was given steroids that somehow caused her body to grow nails where hair would normally grow.
Some strange things keep happening on the Moon, and scientists can’t quite pin them all down. Despite countless missions and detailed observations, its mysteries keep multiplying. Will we ever get the answers?
The stories were repeated so often they felt carved into the stars themselves. But myths have a way of slipping through generations untouched. Some of the tales we learned about space were never true to begin with.
What if the universe is stranger than any story we tell about it? Physicists have spent decades uncovering clues that stretch the limits of logic and reality. These ideas don’t break science—they expand it.
Nothing sticks to the old script anymore. Forests bloom out of rhythm, animals behave differently, and even familiar scenery seems to play new roles every year.
Look up at the night sky and you might feel dwarfed by the glimmer of countless stars. Now shift that view downward, press your mind to the ground and the green world under your feet—and you’ll find something almost unbelievable: there is a possibility that Earth has more tree trunks rooted than the total number of stars in our galaxy. Let that sink in, then keep reading: you’re about to explore why this fact matters and what it says about our place in space, right here on our home planet.
In the vast depths of our oceans swims a tiny creature that possesses what humans have sought for millennia: immortality. Meet Turritopsis dohrnii, commonly known as the immortal jellyfish—a creature no larger than your fingernail that has cracked the code to eternal life.
In 1983, scientists found a rock containing fossilized microbes that had come to Earth from Mars.
