COPENHAGEN, Denmark — That famous “Star Wars” scene of Luke Skywalker gazing out at two suns in a galaxy far, far away may be more accurate than many people think! Aliens could be springing to life and soaking up the sun in planetary systems with two stars, according to new research.

It looks like yet another Potentially Hazardous asteroid is set to fly by the Earth. The asteroid is 7335 (1989 JA) and it will complete a flyby of the Earth on May 27, at around 10:26 a.m. ET, NASA says. The massive asteroid is estimated to be around 10 times taller than the Statue of Liberty, at almost 1.8 kilometers (5,900 feet).

A plethora of downright bizarre scientific research from the Department of Defense previously kept under wraps has been uncovered, revealing an array of peculiar schemes proposed by the United States military. One outlandish proposal suggested detonating nuclear bombs on the moon to create a tunnel through it. Millions in taxpayer dollars were spent on the research, which appears to have relied on a contractor, Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Studies, which was owned by multi-millionaire Robert Bigelow, a hotel impresario. The public was kept in the dark until now regarding what research was being funded.

DAVIS, Calif. — Disease-causing parasites could be pouring into the ocean after hitching a ride on microplastics, warns a new study. The tiny pieces of plastic could spread dangerous diseases to humans — some of which can prove fatal for kids, say scientists. Plastic particles, no bigger than...

OXFORD, England — Future generations may never get the chance to see a rainforest. Researchers from the University of Oxford have found that tropical trees in the rainforests of Australia are dying twice as fast as they did four decades ago. Their new study suggests the death rate has likely doubled because global warming is drying up the atmosphere.

More than 40 Australian animals at the highest risk of extinction in the next two decades could be saved – and it would take only a small amount of extra conservation effort to achieve this, according to new research. A team of Australian scientists has identified the 63 vertebrates...
