Over the weekend, our globe was struck by a geomagnetic storm, which surprised scientists in that it didn’t seem to be caused by a solar flare. Photographers were able to capture the storm when it coincided with a rare conjunction ...
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which serves as NASA’s “eye in the sky” in orbit around the Moon, has located the impact site of the unidentified rocket booster that crashed into the opposite side of the Moon on March 4, ...
Many of us on Earth are concerned with software updates for the newest editions of Windows, but in the meantime, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express probe has gotten the first upgrade to its Windows 98-based software in 19 ...
In our solar system, Jupiter was one of the earliest planets to form, but we know very little about the process through which it came to be. Jupiter, according to a new scientific research, is the biggest planet in our ...
We’re only a week away from the start of July 2022, and astronomy already has some exciting news for us. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), or you can simply call it K2, will pass by our planet and give us the ...
Many of us have seen astronauts colonizing the Red Planet in sci-fi movies without even thinking that such scenarios will ever have a chance to become a reality. Humanity is still far from that goal, but it appears to be ...
Because of the information that may be gleaned from asteroids and the meteorites that break off from them and plummet to Earth, astronomers will often refer to asteroids being time capsules. In light of the fact that the asteroid named ...
Astronomers, philosophers, scientists in general, and even ordinary people have been hoping for centuries to encounter civilizations from other planets. That moment may finally be here after China made a huge announcement that the giant ‘Sky Eye’ telescope might have ...
In a report that was released and then removed, Chinese scientists claim that their massive “Sky Eye” observatory may have managed to pick up indications of transmissions from a faraway extraterrestrial civilisation. Beijing Normal University scientists have uncovered many occurrences ...
An undiscovered black hole lurking in the Milky Way galaxy may be the world’s tiniest ever, according to one calculation of its mass. An isolated stellar-mass black hole was discovered earlier this year by a team headed by Space Telescope ...
Milky Way is just one out of countless other galaxies in the Universe. But even so, astronomers can have numerous stars and planets worth exploring. Hopefully, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will help the world study those remote worlds in ...
Strawberry Moon, this same June supermoon, will be visible in the sky at night this week. So, according to NASA, the moon will be visible from Sunday’s moonrise through Wednesday’s moonset. However, it won’t be completely viewable in North America till ...
NASA’s Perseverance rover was driving alone on Mars when it picked up a “pet rock” that got lodged in one of its wheels and decided to tag along. Aside from a small annoyance, the Martian stone will have no effect ...
Astronomers know very well that our Milky Way galaxy is teeming with stars, planets, black holes, and other cosmic objects. But still, they sometimes remain speechless by new mysterious structures that they have trouble trying to understand. ScienceAlert.com brings the ...
After six years in orbit, the Hayabusa2 probe returned to Earth at the end of 2020 and fell into the Australian wilderness. JAXA scientists opened it up and discovered its priceless payload: a pinch of asteroid dust that Hayabusa2 had ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), operated by NASA, is calibrating its powerful instruments to start exploring the galactic depths of the Cosmos. It’s already been about six months since the telescope’s launch, and it has already undergone the first ...
Curiosity, a robotic explorer, touched down in the Gale Crater (Mars) in August 2012 and immediately started searching the landscape for signs of life that existed in the planet’s history. Throughout that period, the rover reported a number of significant findings, such ...
Using computer simulations, scientists have now been able to reconstruct the whole 11 billion-year-old life span of a few of the biggest groupings of galaxies ever recorded. To understand how the cosmos formed, cosmological calculations are essential, but they often ...
In a recently released paper, NASA scientists and engineers share new information about the agency’s DAVINCI – Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging – mission. It will land on Venus’s surface in 2031 after going down ...
Once James Webb Space Telescope reaches the super-Earth 50 light-years distant in the weeks ahead, NASA is ready for the worst. Because it revolves so closely to its Sun-like star, 55 Cancri e, the world’s crust would seem to be ...
Trojan worlds, which are co-orbiting planets, have not yet been discovered outside of our solar system. According to recent research, it’s odd considering that we see them all the time in our own backyards. It is not uncommon to see ...
Astronomers believe that there are trillions of galaxies out there in the Universe, which means that we should never be surprised when a new one is discovered. Even so, nature never ceases to amaze us. According to space.com, the Hubble ...
An astronomical phenomenon may be visible to you: The Tau Herculids are a previously unseen meteor phenomenon. North American observers may be able to get a glimpse of a fresh meteor shower on the evening of May 30 through May ...
In addition to volcanoes, new study reveals that the moon’s poles may be covered in layers of ice that may be tens or perhaps even thousands of feet tall. Before sophisticated life on Earth evolved on the planet, scientists used ...
Rivers formerly flowed crimson over the surface of Mars. All around the world, you may still see the traces of rivers, streams, as well as lakes that once existed. For unknown reasons, they all dwindled some three billion years ago. ...
