Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have gathered hundreds of satellite images from between 1992 and 2011. The images, turned into a GIF, show how the ground in the southern part of the world's fifth largest economy rises and falls when groundwater is pumped in and out of aquifers beneath the surface.

In popular science literature, much ink has been spilled on the supposed collapse of Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, as it's known in the local language.

For nearly two months, there has been no sign of NASA's Mars Opportunity rover.

Right now, as you read this very text, your DNA is getting sliced up by tiny, invisible bullets.

Rare video footage captures the moment when a shark attacks a seal off Cape Cod, turning the water red.

Fossils found in Siberia of a tiny woolly mammoth could be an entirely new species, researchers say, with some dubbing it a "Golden mammoth."

After decades of scientific brainstorming and years of construction, NASA's Parker Solar Probe is safely on its way to flying seven times closer to the sun than any mission has before.

Newly discovered data from radioactive sheep provides “robust” evidence that a mysterious “double flash” detected almost 39 years ago near a remote island group was a nuclear explosion.

Venomous black widow spiders now range farther north than scientists expected, into an area including the most-inhabited parts of Canada. And there's good reason to suggest that warming temperatures are driving the fatal biters north.

The biggest hurdle to mounting an interstellar mission may be humanity's short attention span.

There's a "hydrogen wall" at the edge of our solar system, and NASA scientists think their New Horizons spacecraft can see it.

A Chinese tourist was attacked and killed by a hippo while taking pictures on the edge of Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Rift Valley, just hours after a local fisherman was mauled to death in the same area, authorities said Sunday.

An endangered orca who captivated the world with her “tour of grief” has returned to her pod after spending more than two weeks clinging to her dead and decomposing calf, researchers said Sunday.
