The 5 absolute best space images of 2026 (so far) | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An image of the Shark Nebula (see below), which is some 650 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus, has been crowned the overall winner of this year’s ZWO Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition. The nebula’s silhouette is formed by thick clouds of interstellar dust and gas that block the light of background stars. Photographer Ali Alobaidly spent two nights in the desert of western Kuwait to capture the striking nebula – the result was his award-winning image: The Quiet Predator.
This surprising factor could reveal how compatible you and your partner really are, says science | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you know you have found The One? Simple: they share your love of the Backstreet Boys or obscure Brazilian bossa nova. At least, that’s the conclusion of one new study. Scientists found that couples in romantic relationships share a taste in music more than they do personality traits and values. Their research also suggests that a common appreciation of the same music may even be associated with slightly better relationship quality. The team at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, looked
Mercury is shrinking faster than anyone thought | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has long been known that Mercury has shrunk over time, thanks to telltale wrinkles on its surface. But now it seems as though it has shrunk even more than anyone had realised. A new study has found that the planet closest to the Sun may have shrunk by between 10 per cent and 30 per cent more than previously thought. This adds up to a loss of up to 23km (14.5 miles) in radius since the planet first formed about 4.5 billion years ago. The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Let
Experts tracked lions for four years and found something incredible | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Think of hyenas and you may picture opportunistic creatures, such as the ones in The Lion King, who simply follow lions and feed off their scraps. But that image is wrong, new research suggests. Instead, scientists who fitted GPS collars to animals in Namibia and Botswana concluded that in fact it is the lions – especially the males – that approach hyenas, not the other way around. The findings, published in the journal Frontiers in Ethology, suggest the relationship between the animals is much
These are the five best (and worst) birdsongs, ranked by science | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sorry, nightingales: The blackbird has topped a ranking of more than 100 birdsongs rated for their calming effect on listeners, according to researchers at the University of Tübingen. The study, which asked 84 people in Germany to rate 123 different bird tunes, found the barn owl's screech to be the least pleasant sound, landing it in last place. The house sparrow ranked 60th, the tufted duck 68th, and the feral pigeon 101st. But what makes one birdsong beautiful and another like hearing nails o
