The Moon formed only in a matter of hours following the collision between Earth and Theia, a space object the size of Mars, according to a new simulation put forth by a novel study. Most theories in the past claim our Moon formed from the debris of this heavenly collision, floating in orbit for over

A cold front has been forecasted to hit the Northeast US region later this week, with temperatures similar to November weather or during the last phase of the current fall season. The front will come after a temporary warm weather will cover the region following a week-long Nor’easter. Northeast Cold Front (Photo : Photo by

As the Italian probe LICIACube whizzed past asteroids Didymos (bottom) and Dimorphos (top), it captured a debris plume spraying out from the DART spacecraft as it smashed into Dimorphos.Credit: ASI/NASA Astronomers see fireworks as spacecraft ploughs into asteroid Telescopes in space and across Earth captured the spectacular aftermath of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART)

India has the world’s highest burden of tuberculosis.Credit: Ritesh Shukla/NurPhoto/Getty For many people, the money that flows from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria quite literally makes the difference between life and death. The fund is estimated to have saved 50 million lives in low- and middle-income countries in the two decades

Low sperm count and motility are linked to in utero “forever chemical” exposure in a study. PFAS, which are now present in almost all umbilical cord blood worldwide, interfere with the hormones necessary for the development of the testicles.

Gun research neglected Gun violence is a leading cause of deaths in the United States, and fatality rates of both gun-related suicides and homicides are rising. But firearm injury is among the least researched and worst funded of the top causes of mortality in the United States, as shown by the outlier point in this

Chemists found a clue to the chemistry of the early Earth, which might open doors to accelerating chemical synthesis for drug development. Scientists found a mechanism for the peptide-forming processes in water that result in proteins and, ultimately, life on Earth.
