According to experts, the Earth’s core is cooling faster than previously believed, which might hasten the planet’s eventual march toward uninhabitability in millions or billions of years. For the duration of Earth’s 4.5 billion-year history, the planet’s interior has been ...
A group of astrophysicists may soon have a key to unraveling the puzzle of life’s beginnings. On December 25, the James Webb Space Telescope was launched into orbit from French Guiana, South America. Webb is the biggest and most powerful ...
According to a new Curtin University study, the frequency of asteroid impacts that generated impact craters on Mars has been stable over the last 600 million years. The research, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, examined the creation of ...
After 17 years of generally trouble-free operation, NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has experienced technical challenges. Because of a “potential failure” in one of the six reaction wheels used to modify the orbiting explorer’s attitude, the spacecraft has been placed ...
Black holes, often depicted as the deadly creatures of cosmos, ripping apart stars, devouring everything that gets too near, and trapping light, are now taking on a less evil role in the newest Hubble Space Telescope study. Detailed data from ...
Because we can’t detect black holes, we don’t know how many there are in the vast Universe. But it doesn’t imply we don’t have any options for figuring it out. Stellar-mass black holes are the crumpled cores of dead big ...
As it’s the basis for all life on Earth, detecting carbon on other planets usually gets scientists thrilled – and the Curiosity Rover on Mars has uncovered a unique blend of the chemical element that may conceivably indicate the presence ...
Australian astronomers identified asteroid 7482 (1994 PC1) in 1994. It will travel within 1.2 million miles of our planet on Tuesday at 21:51 GMT. This was the closest approach since 1933, when it came within 699,000 miles of Earth. Tonight, ...
Western specialists are investigating a meteorite that became popular after falling into a woman’s bedroom in British Columbia. The meteorite piece traveled for hundreds of millions of years before landing on the planet. According to Western experts, a meteorite that ...
NASA successfully launched the biggest and most powerful space telescope ever built on December 25 from Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will use unparalleled technology to see both close and far, from our solar system’s planets and bodies ...
There is a lot of oxygen on Earth, but where did it come from?Today, about 21% of the air on Earth is made up of oxygen. But our planet’s atmosphere took a long time to get to the point where ...
A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, using data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, provides new insight into what causes and accelerates the solar wind, which is a stream of charged particles emitted from ...
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has finished its first seven months of surveying by shattering all previous records for three-dimensional galaxy surveys, generating the most extensive and most comprehensive picture of the cosmos ever created. Despite this, it is ...
Space flight is well-known for being very difficult for the human body, but a recent study has demonstrated exactly how difficult it is on red blood cells in particular. Every second we are alive on this planet, our bodies generate ...
There are more discovered stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches from Earth. Therefore, it’s easy to conclude that our Milky Way galaxy is also loaded with stars. Astronomers estimate that there’s a ...
Scientists believe that our galaxy, the Milky Way, was created after many mergers, with smaller galaxies and clusters of stars. Some mergers were very recent, and scientists can still detect the clusters of stars orbiting the galaxy. But in time, ...
Scientists are currently trying to solve one of the mysteries of the universe. A dusty object has been discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, and no one knows what’s up with it. There is something unusual happening with a binary ...
Space debris is nothing we should take lightly. It’s a serious problem that astronomers and other scientists had been thinking to solve for many years. But there is indeed hope that the problem of space debris will go away. That ...
A recent study claims that strange geometric structures first seen on the tiny planet’s ground in 2015 are evidence of a process known as sublimation. According to a new theory, the polygonal nitrogen ice on Pluto, which was discovered throughout ...
If you’re among those who swore eternal love for heavy metal music, you should now know that it’s at least one exoplanet out there that might be even more metal than you. Being composed of iron by roughly 80 percent, ...
The threat of the huge amount of space debris from the Earth’s orbit is becoming more and more real. A piece of such space junk that belongs to broken satellites can become extremely dangerous for a spaceship. The International Space ...
A recent piece of research adds to the increasing body of evidence suggesting Venus is volcanically active – a discovery that, if confirmed, will provide light on how volcanoes affect planetary development and livability throughout the universe. The study, which concentrates on ...
Depending on the weather, the greatest partial lunar eclipse in over six centuries will illuminate the dark sky throughout the United States late Thursday night and into Friday morning. The event will last 3 hours and 28 minutes, as said ...
What is a moon eclipse that is “nearly total”? When the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, the Moon slips into Earth’s shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. During a complete moon eclipse, the entire Moon is engulfed by the umbra, the darkest component ...
Who said that delicious foods couldn’t grow in space? Thanks to NASA astronauts, it becomes possible. Fajita beef, artichokes, rehydrated tomatoes, tortilla, and Hatch chile grown on Mars represent the new menu for those onboard the International Space Station, according ...
