A ground test by the private Chinese company Space Pioneer went out of control on Sunday in Gongyi, China. During a 'static fire' test of the first stage of the 'Tianlon-3' rocket, the anchoring mechanism failed, causing the rocket to take off unexpectedly. After a short flight, the rocket crashed into a wooded area and exploded violently.

Radiation blast can be thousands of times stronger than anything recorded with modern instruments, scientists say
It's hard to say what is the most dangerous animal in the world; you're not comparing apples to apples. But when it comes dangerous, these four top the list.
Humans are launching more stuff in space than ever before and we don't have the right models to predict when and where it's going to return to Earth.
China recently became the first country to ever return samples taken from the far side of the Moon, a historic mission that could have profound implications on our understanding of its evolution and ability to host human life. But thanks to a law called the Wolf Amendment, which was enacted by the US government in […]
Giant Horned Dinosaur Discovered In Ancient Swamps Of Montana. A ‘remarkable’ new species of giant horned, plant-eating dinosaur ranks among the largest ever discovered. The Lokiceratops rangiformis, a relative of Triceratops, was identified from a skull unearthed in the ancient swamp ‘badlands’ of Montana, near the USA-Canada border. The dinosaur is notable for several unique features, including two massive blade-like horns on the back of its frill and the absence of a nose horn. Scientists report the skull was longer than any other dinosaur within its group, Centrosaurinae, nearly matching the size of later horned giants. They estimate Lokiceratops measured around 6.7 meters in length and weighed approximately five tonnes. Like other ceratopsian dinosaurs, Lokiceratops had a mouth filled with over 200 teeth. Scientists believe Lokiceratops inhabited the swamps and floodplains along the eastern shore of Laramidia the island continent now comprising the western part of North America, more than 78 million years ago.
The findings suggest they are able to push the apparent limits of what giant land animals can do.

Astronomers have long been puzzled by the "heartbeats" of neutron stars, the extremely dense remains of massive stars that erupted in a supernova. While we now know a lot more about their origins, the unusual pulses have led to plenty of theories, including the possibility of an ancient civilization attempting to communicate with us. […]

A dead star thousands of light-years from Earth is about to explode — and you'll be able to see it in Windsor.Sometime over the next few weeks, though scientists can't pinpoint an exact date, T Coronae Borealis, a dead star, will explode. It'll be visible in Windsor as a new star in the northeastern sky.But the explosion happened so far away — 2,600 light-years away — that we will only soon be able to see it. Steve Pellarin is an astronomy professor at the University of Windsor and vice-presiden
Deep in an Australian cave, archaeologists have uncovered evidence that an Aboriginal ritual may have been passed down 500 generations and survived 12,000 years.
Space may be boundless, but the increasingly cluttered orbital real estate where we like to cram all our satellites is not. And so as we enter a golden age of commercial spaceflight, those of us on terra firma may not be able to write-off death by falling space junk as an astronomically remote implausibility for […]
Moon Fashion In September 2026, NASA is hoping to land the first astronauts on the surface of the Moon in over 50 years as part of its Artemis III mission, a highly ambitious endeavor that will require the space agency to figuratively move a mountain. And preparations are long underway. Most recently, NASA astronauts Kate […]
