After successfully completing its primary mission in orbit, which lasted for three years, […]

It is common knowledge that 500 years ago, people believed the Earth was spherical. However, it is also entirely false.

The earliest known mention of a spherical Earth is found in ancient Indian religious scriptures. The […]

In locations with high rates of drug-resistant illnesses and communities most impacted by rising infectious diseases, a new worldwide research collaboration is being formed to battle antimicrobial resistance in people.

Experts warn that falling rockets and satellites might endanger airplanes as Earth’s orbit fills. “There is a real risk,” University of British Columbia associate professor Aaron Boley told CTVNews.ca. “The uses of space are simply expanding, and as we put large objects in orbit, they come down eventually, and if they’re uncontrolled, that’s a hazard […]
