Meteoroid trails from long-period comets could provide early warnings of potentially dangerous comets near Earth, giving planetary scientists time to prepare. By studying these trails, scientists can track the paths of rarely visible comets that could pose a risk of impact, helping prevent catastrophic events. With the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observ...

A 77-year-old slice of wedding cake from the 1947 royal wedding of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip has just been sold for £2,200 (around Rs 2.40 lakh) at an auction.

The rare 1975 No S Proof Dime set a new auction record, selling for $506,250 at GreatCollections, with bidders from around the world vying for the coin.

Primordial black holes, potentially formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be undergoing explosions across the universe, driven by Hawking radiation. Physicists believe that capturing these rare events could reveal undiscovered particles and fundamental physics. Dr. Marco Calzà and Dr. João G. Rosa from the University of Coimbra have proposed way...

Shruti Haasan will be next seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie. The film features Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna and Soubin Shahir.

The US is witnessing a rise in cases of the rare genital fungus, TMVII, which causes jock itch, particularly among men who have sex with men.

A team of scientists from the Botanical Survey of India (BSI) here recently discovered a new species of orchid in Arunachal Pradesh's Lohit district. The rare orchid flourishes without sunlight, relying on fungi in leaf litter for nutrients.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018, will make its final Venus flyby on Nov. 6. This manoeuvre will bring the spacecraft into a new orbit, allowing it to approach within 3.8 million miles of the sun, closer than any human-made object has been. While the probe’s primary mission is to study the sun, its instruments have captured rare data...

The asteroid Apophis, named after the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, is set to pass extremely close to Earth in 2029, potentially causing seismic activity and landslides on its surface due to Earth's gravity. These changes could alter Apophis’ surface, providing a rare opportunity to observe asteroid dynamics in real-time. A team from Johns Hopki...

A rare pygmy hippo calf, Haggis, was born at Edinburgh Zoo on 30 October. With fewer than 2,500 pygmy hippos remaining in the wild, the birth highlights ongoing conservation challenges. The calf’s personality is already shining, and zookeepers are optimistic about her future. Edinburgh Zoo is temporarily closing the pygmy hippo house to ensure Ha...

Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? Ahead of the highly-anticipated 2024 US Presidential Elections, Allan Lichtman - historian, author, and a rare political forecaster with a track record of poll predictions - shared his insights on NDTV.

Bella Bradford, a 24-year-old Australian TikTok influencer who was battling a rare form of cancer, announced her own death in her final social media post.

A woman in the US lost vision in one eye due to a rare parasite infection that developed after she went swimming with her contact lenses on.

Josh Hazlewood expressed that India's rare series whitewash at home to New Zealand could "awaken a sleeping giant" as they prepare to take on the ICC World Test Championship table-toppers in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Astronomers are observing two unique black holes defying established cosmic theories. One, known as the "serial killer" black hole, is preparing to consume its second star in five years, an event that rarely occurs within such a timeframe. The other black hole, part of a triple system called V404 Cygni, has a structure that defies traditional black...
