An ultramassive black hole around 33 billion times the mass of the sun has been discovered by UK astronomers. Scientists from Durham University said the gargantuan black hole is one of the biggest ever found. The team described its findings, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, as "extremely exciting".
A large hole capable of generating solar winds north of a million miles per hour has appeared on the surface of the sun for the second time in a week. It is known as a coronal hole - and this one is 20 times bigger than Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spotted it, and it could send superfast solar winds of 1.8 million miles per hour hurtling towards our planet as early as Thursday.
Elon Musk has joined more than 1,000 of the world’s leading tech industry figures and academics – as well as the head of the Doomsday Clock – to warn “out of control” artificial intelligence advances could quickly become a “profound risk to society and humanity”.
Discovery is at least sixth find of human remains in recreational areas of reservoir in last year
We could see more stunning auroras, such as the famous Northern Lights, due to heightened solar activity
Evidence of a previously unknown marsupial, related to a wombat, has been discovered in Australia. The beast has been described as a cross between a wombat and a marsupial lion. Skull, bone and jaw fragments from the animal were recovered from a site near Alice Springs in central Australia.

Two huge coronal holes have appeared on the sun this month, spewing 1.8 million mph solar winds towards the Earth. Here's what they are, how they form and their impact on our planet.
A curator gingerly fastens a pointy claw bone with a thin metal wire, completing perhaps the world's biggest construction kit -- reassembling a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus-Rex called Trinity.- 'Very, very old' - Reassembling Trinity was no easy feat, Yolanda Schicker-Siber, a curator of Switzerland's Aathal Dinosaur Museum, told AFP as she secured another toe bone.
Some physicists don’t believe that quantum mechanics is a perfect description of objective reality.
A nine-year-old boy has discovered an ancient fossil, believed to be 200 million years old, on a Welsh beach. The fossil was discovered on Llantwit Major beach, in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales. Eli was walking the beach with his family when he made the discovery.

Sometimes, it’s helpful to get an even more precise inoculation on a cellular level. This type of injection could help pave the way for new, more effective biomedical treatments like cancer and gene therapy.In a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, researchers developed a bacterial “syrigine” that’s capable of injecting p
Humans can't hear the screams, but other animals may be able to detect them, according to scientists at Tel Aviv University.
A cultivated meat firm in Australia has created a meatball using the ancient DNA from a woolly mammoth. The company, called Vow, made the meatball by taking the DNA sequence for mammoth myoglobin and filling in the gaps using elephant DNA, before placing that sequence in myoblast stem cells from a sheep. Astronomers in the UK have discovered an ultramassive black hole around 33 billion times the mass of the Sun.
A man born in Britain in 1970 may live past the age of 140, a study has suggested.
