Researchers have discovered the newest species of theropod, the dinosaur group that included Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus and evolved into modern birds.

The new species named as Chilesaurus diegosuarezi turned into a vegetarian 145 million years ago unlike its famous cousins who were still meat-eaters.

Nearly three dozen Chilean miners successfully survived even as they remained trapped a couple of thousand feet under the Earth for more than two months.

The San José Mine's collapse on August 5, 2010, hit news headlines around the world as 33 men were trapped underground.

Using another galaxy as a cosmic magnifying glass, an international team of astronomers have been able to get the best look of collision between two galaxies that happened long time back.

Preparations are underway to launch the next generation telescope. The James Webb telescope will be launched in 2018. Before James Webb gets installed, the Hubble Telescope has done an amazing job by providing some great images that world has ever seen.

Chile's Cerro Armazones Mountain top has been preparedto host the world's biggest optical and infrared telescope. The work of lopping off the 3,000-metre mountain's top is underway and it will be ready for astronomers once the debris has been cleared and dust has settled.

Preparations are going on to make way for the world's largest optical and infrared telescope being setup by the European Southern Observatory. The top of the Cerro Armazones in northern Chile has been blown up so that the European-Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) can be built on it.

The European Southern Observatory with the help of its Very Large Telescope (VLT) placed in the Atacama Desert in Chile observed a circularly polarized light coming from a stellar explosion taken place at the outer reaches of the universe.

Through the use of a new camera affixed on the 4-meter telescope of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Chile, scientists have discovered a pink dwarf planet at the edge of the solar system, named the inner Oort cloud.
