Astronomers find evidence of water clouds on a failed star similar to Jupiter. Astronomers first discovered WISE 0855 back in 2014, located 7.2 light years from the Earth and barely visible at infrared wavelengths using the largest ground-based telescopes available.  Since that time, they have been fascinated about the composition of the body known as

The study has found a potential solution to the psychological stress and memory loss suffered by women surviving breast cancer treatment. The stress that comes with going through breast cancer can be extremely high resulting in post-cancer memory problems but researchers have found an effective way to combat this. Taking up moderate to vigorous physical activity

NASA’s Dawn mission has identified a series of mysterious permanent shadows on Ceres. Ceres has been the source of much mystery for astronomers studying the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but NASA’s Dawn mission has been crucial in shedding light on the strange dwarf planet.
