Supernova Remnant G278.94+1.35 is Closer to Earth, Claims New Study
Astronomers discovered that the supernova remnant G278.94+1.35 is located just 3,300 light years away, much closer than previously believed. Initially thought to span over 500 light years, it is now estimated to measure around 189 by 182 light years. Named "Diprotodon" after Australia’s extinct giant marsupial, this structure remains in an expand...

Fungus Wiping Out Frogs: Innovative "Frog Saunas" Offer Hope for Survival
Frog populations worldwide are being decimated by the chytrid fungus, which is responsible for the decline and extinction of many species. Scientists have developed "frog saunas," simple heated structures that allow frogs to warm up and combat the infection. Studies show that this method can help infected frogs recover faster and even develop resis...

One-Third of Earth's Species Could Face Extinction by 2100 Due to Climate Change
A new study has warned that up to a third of Earth's species could face extinction by 2100 due to rising global temperatures. The research, published in Science, highlights how climate change is accelerating extinction risks, especially for amphibians and species in isolated ecosystems. With emissions continuing at current rates, the risk of extinc...
