Twinkling in the sky is a diamond star of 10 billion trillion trillion carats, astronomers have discovered. The cosmic diamond is a chunk of crystallised carbon, 4,000 km across, some 50 light-years from the Earth in the constellation Centaurus. It's the compressed heart of an old star that was onc...

Signs point to active tornado season this year Local meteorologists are anticipating a potentially active tornado season in Kansas this spring. "I'm quite concerned this could be a very busy tornado season" - Mike Smith, president of WeatherData Inc., a Wichita subsidiary of AccuWea...
50 years of NASA in Australia Deep space station 34 (DSS 34) is the latest addition onsite in Canberra. It was constructed in 1997 with the transmission and reception equipment underground rather than on the surface of the dish. This helps to reduce the weight of the dish and allows for maintenance of...
