The moon will guide you to a fun asterism this week called the Winter Hexagon. Asterisms are patterns made by connecting stars, whereas constellations are the areas of the sky that contain the asterisms. Not all asterisms belong to a single constellation, ...

But recently, researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark demonstrated that unique fungi that strengthen the immune system of wheat and bean plants to fend off aphids. News 18 reported that the fungi enter the plant and influence the plant's ...

By studying our solar system, astronomers have obtained an understanding of how planets developed. But they assumed the giant planets were supposed to rest on a solid core that was relatively massive. Is this conclusion now brought into doubt by the ...
