There's a supermassive black hole lying in the centre of galaxy NGC 5084, and astronomers have discovered that the black hole appears to be tipped over on its side.
The plot has just thickened in the mystery tale about the unseen mass skulking inside the largest cluster of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
Scientists hope the data from Parker will help them better understand why the Sun's outer atmosphere is hundreds of times hotter than its surface.
A team of Swiss geophysicists thinks they have found the answer in Earth's molten iron core which causes tiny alterations affecting the planet's rotation.
A23a originally broke away from Antarctica’s Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986 and remained stuck close to the continent for decades. Now A23a is on the move again.
It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes: the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.
