NGC 5395 (also Arp 84, MCG 6-31-34, UGC 8900 and PGC 49747) is a magnitude +11.4 interacting spiral galaxy located 161 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. The galaxy is gravitationally interacting with the smaller neighbouring galaxy NGC 5394: these two galaxies are li...
One of the biggest of the meat-eating dinosaurs may have hunted in packs according to experts in Argentina.
At least seven T. rex-sized Mapusaurus roseae have been found together in the fossil-rich Patagonia region of the country.
A pack hunting strategy might have enabled the two-...
The 14 - 32 metre wide asteroid 2017 LE in the constellation Sagittarius will make a close pass (5.18 LD, 0.01332 AU) travelling at 8.97 km/second, to the Earth-Moon system on the 7th June 2017 @ 01:56 UT ±00:01.

Title: Identification of New M Dwarfs in the Solar Neighbourhood
Authors: Basmah Riaz, John E. Gizis, James Harvin
Researchers present the results from a spectroscopic study of 1080 nearby active M dwarfs, selected by correlating the 2MASS and ROSAT catalogues. They have...
Researchers have found that a redwood named Hyperion in a remote Northern California forest is the world's tallest tree.
Steve Sillett, a forestry professor at Humboldt State University, recently climbed Hyperion and measured it at 379.1 feet, one foot taller than previously thought.
Hy...
The Arietid meteor shower streams from a point only 30 degrees from the sun, peaks on the 8th June. The best time to look is just before dawn. This is the strongest daylight meteor shower of the year. The duration extends from May 22 to July 2. The hourly rate is 54 at maximum. This meteor shower was discov...

Title: A deep decrease event in the brightness of the PMS star V350 Cep Author: Evgeni H. Semkov, Sunay I. Ibryamov, Stoyanka P. Peneva New photometric data from CCD UBVRI observations of the PMS star V350 Cep during the period from March 2014 to May 2017 are presented. In the period April-May 2016 we r...
After decades of searching, astronomers discovered the first definite brown dwarf only ten years ago. Now, a new analysis of Hubble Space Telescope data implies our Galaxy has almost as many of these failed stars as it does normal stars like the Sun.
The Sun and most other stars power themselves by...
Sub vessel to attempt record-setting dive High underwater pressure will be the greatest danger that Jiaolong, China's manned deep-sea vessel, will contend with when it attempts to make the deepest dive on record this year, a senior official said. [url=http://www.china.org.cn/china/2012-02...
Astrophysicists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have exploded one of two competing theories about how stars form inside immense clouds of interstellar gas.
Using supercomputer simulations that take into account the turbulen...
Archaeobotanists have found evidence that the dawn of agriculture may have come with the domestication of fig trees in the Near East some 11,400 years ago, roughly a thousand years before such staples as wheat, barley, and legumes were domesticated in the region. The discovery dates domesticated...
The hottest planet yet is twice Jupiter's size and hot as a star Finding exoplanets around stars much hotter than the sun is difficult. This is because the blinding brightness and rapid spinning of stars like the one KELT-9b orbits can obscure the relatively minuscule changes to their light that pas...
