Parents, take note! Eating an egg daily may significantly increase growth and reduce stunting in children, a new research claims. Scientists gave eggs to 80 infants between six and nine months of age for one year. Another 84 weren’t given eggs and served as a control grup.

New maps are available on cordemergency that show areas at risk for flooding with no protective measures in place should the lake rise to the new flood planning number of 343.50 metres above sea level. Map colours indicate areas within the Central Okanagan that are at risk for flooding – from both surface and ground water. Pink shows the potential …

The Red Planet can truly amaze people of the many mysteries it holds. Recently, a photo of a massive and deep hole on Mars has made scientists puzzled. A new image from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) shows several shallow pits among carbon dioxide ice, nicknamed “Swiss cheese terrain” because it looks a bit like the famous cheese. But at …

Researchers have discovered an incredibly hot planet orbiting a blue star approximately 650 light-years from Earth. In May 2016, astronomers at the Winer Observatory in Arizona were observing the sky using the Kilodegree Extremely Little Teloscope (KELT), which allows them to look at many stars at once, at a low resolution. They noticed that a star named KELT-9 would dim …

A tornado was caught on video as it touched down near Three Hills, Alberta, northeast of Calgary on Friday. According to Environment Canada, the tornado was classified as an EF0, the weakest rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale which categorizes tornadoes based primarily on the damage they do.

A three-year survey of the California Current System along the West Coast of the United States found persistent, highly acidified water throughout this ecologically critical nearshore habitat, with “hotspots” of pH measurements as low as any oceanic surface waters in the world. The researchers say that conditions will continue to worsen because the atmospheric carbon dioxide primarily to blame for …

Researchers from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have made a third detection of gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of space and time, first predicted by Albert Einstein more than a century ago. “We have further confirmation of the existence of stellar-mass black holes that are larger than 20 solar masses — these are objects we didn’t …

NASA will soon launch a pioneering mission to investigate rapidly spinning neutron stars which are defined as the “densest objects in the universe”. Nasa’s Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, or NICER, will be flown to the ISS (International Space Station) aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. Nasa’s NICER, while aboard the ISS, will conduct experiments to determine neutron stars’ measurements. NICER …

In the largest growth rate to date, the crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf grew an astounding 17 kilometers (11 miles) between May 25 and May 31, 2017, leaving only 13 kilometers (eight miles) left before it breaks off. Until recently, the crack was running parallel to the edge of the ice shelf but it took a “significant” turn …
