While digging for garden soil, a Las Vegas farmer was shocked to find mammoth teeth, but now the rest of his discoveries are expected to cause a controversy as it may change 12,000 years of history. During a Protectors of Tule Springs meeting Tuesday night, Dr. Steve Rowland, a UNLV geoscience professor and paleontologist, helped present newly analyzed findings from a 30-year-old archeological dig field report from the Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary.

Large galaxies like ours are hosts to Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs.) They can be so massive that they resist comprehension, with some of them having billions of times more mass than the Sun. Ours, named Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is a little more modest at about four million solar masses.

When Alan Feldman got the call from American Gaming Association President and CEO Bill Miller, he thought it might be about a project he’d been working on with AGA team members. He was wrong. AGA President and CEO Bill Miller was calling to inform Feldman he was new member of the Gaming Hall of Fame.

Astronomers studying the Milky Way's supermassive black hole have found "compelling evidence" that could finally help explain its mysterious past. Located 26,000 light-years away in the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A* is a gargantuan tear in space-time that is 4 million times the mass of our sun and 14.6 million miles (23.5 million kilometers) wide.

Last year, nine teens were arrested in connection with the horrific beating death of Rancho High School student Jonathan Lewis. And just last week, four of them were sent back from adult court to juvenile court as part of a plea agreement that reduces their maximum sentence. The outrage has been palpable: Social media users have called the accused adolescents “monsters,” and Lewis’s mother said the decision was “disgusting.” So should the teens have been tried as adults? What’s really going on here? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with UNLV Boyd School of Law professor Eve Hanan about why we have juvenile court in the first place, and why some teens (and not others) are sentenced in adult court.

The mystery of how supermassive black holes, which can be millions of times more massive than the sun and sit at the heart of most galaxies, came to exist is one of the great questions in astrophysics.

U.S. vice president Kamala Harris and former American president Donald Trump just wrapped up what's potentially their only presidential debate in Philadelphia.

The UNLV professor who was critically injured by an active shooter on campus in December 2023 returned to the classroom Wednesday, university officials said.

He was found by two Metro Police officers, who provided life-saving medical care.
