Here are some of the most rare and spectacular pictures of the genetically modified glowing animals.

According to a new scientific report, a species of rat has masterminded an ingenious strategy that will see any predators that try to eat it fail miserably.

Virgin Galactic, the world's first commercial spaceline, has appointed its first Chief Financial Officer.

A NASA satellite caught a stunning video of an enormous plasma twister rising from the sun's surface on July 12.

Astronauts looking for a breath of fresh air have to invariably return to Earth. However, there is now the second option of traveling some 1,500 light years to the Orion Nebula, where oxygen molecules have been detected for the first ever time in space.

If you thought that space exploration and zero-gravity experience is only for astronauts and celebrities, then think again.

A preacher saw the so-called ‘End Times’ when a Texas lake almost dried up and turned bloody-red in the ongoing American summer but experts insisted that the searing drought merely deprived the water of oxygen, thus leaving thousands of fish dead and floating too.

The US space agency said on Monday that it has started perusing the incredible images from one of the asteroids orbiting the zone between Mars and Jupiter, which were provided by the spacecraft Dawn that reached the asteroid belt early in July.

Official confirmation has come from NASA that debris revealed by prolonged drought in Texas belongs to the Space Shuttle Columbia.

The molecules were detected in the star-forming region of the Orion constellation. The amount of oxygen found is ten times larger than what was indicated by previous observations of other molecular clouds, but is still well below theoretical expectations, according to ESA.

Broadband speeds on average are within 80 percent of what major Internet service providers advertise, a big improvement from two years ago, according to a government study.
