The discovery of ZF-COSMOS-20115 is challenging our long-established assumptions about how galaxies form. The “red and dead” galaxy demonstrates just how little we still understand of how the universe began.
In this image from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a group of steeply inclined light-toned layers is bounded above and below by unconformities (sudden or irregular changes from one deposit to another) that indicate a “break” where erosion of pre-existing layers was taking place at a higher rate than deposition of new materials.

NASA will discuss new results about ocean worlds in our solar system from the agency’s Cassini spacecraft and the Hubble Space Telescope during a news briefing 2 p.m. EDT on Thursday, April 13.
Exposing online fakes and frauds of the Cryptozoological World
A British witness in Gosport managed to document his sighting of three UFOs flying over some houses as they seemed to ‘dance’ in the skies.
Method developed for DNA programmed material synthesis
Research conducted by scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology rules out a challenge to the accepted standard model of the universe and theory of how galaxies form by shedding new light on a problematic structure.
