Based on NASA's images, there were grooves or "stretch marks" on the surface of Phobos that science has failed to explain until today. Astronomers first discovered the pattern that resembles craters on the surface of Phobos. Since then, experts have argued as to what could have caused the craters and the strange landsc..>> view originalNASA to intercept asteroid rated one in 2700 chance of hitting Earth

Scientists have announced the discovery of a new binary star – a star system where two suns orbit around a common centre of mass, much like the planetary neighbourhood where a hopeful farmboy called Luke Skywalker grew up a long time ago. And this isn't just any old binary star system – these stars, called HD 133131A and HD 133131B, are the the closest-orbiting twin stars that scientists have ever found in a binary system where both the stars host planets. In this case, HD 133131A hosts two pl..>> view original
