Recently, astronomers came across a few fascinating leads in the quest for life on other planets. The discovery includes two Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star named GJ 1002. Check out all the facts below. ...
Researchers are now able to compute the age and rate of the Universe’s expansion with an unparalleled level of accuracy thanks to a new map of the distances of tens of thousands of galaxies. Even though the cosmos continually expands, ...
Researchers had long been amazed by lonsdaleite, meaning hexagonal diamonds. Now they may finally know the origin behind their existence: a dwarf planet colliding with a big asteroid at a time when our Solar System was only beginning to form ...
According to a recent survey of exoplanets around red dwarf stars, there’s a rise in the population of water worlds. Apparently, we may have underestimated how much wetter the Milky Way galaxy is. What’s more curious is that the newly ...
NASA’s Moxie (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) has created almost 100 minutes of breathing oxygen, increasing prospects for future crewed expeditions. MOXIE succeeded in developing oxygen even if extreme temperatures and dust storms threatened the mission. It actually continued ...
Since the Mars Perseverance Rover landed on Mars, it has been a fascinating year and a half. Now, fresh data is coming in, and it contains a few surprises. The rover, roughly the size of a car and equipped with ...
Astronomers have found an Earth-like, bigger planet that could have deeper oceans and two sons. Do you ever think about what possibilities our Solar System holds? Like, are we really that different? Or alone? The discovery of Earth-like planets is ...
Planets do not take much longer to form after stars have formed. For example, the Sun formed 4.6 billion years ago, and the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. However, scientists now say it is not necessarily the only possibility. ...
Establishing a new human colony on another planet provides a chance to experiment with novel concepts. More significantly, it’s a chance to learn from humanity’s previous blunders in habitat construction. Even though we have yet to dominate the moon or ...
Earth may be the only planet we know of that supports such a diverse diversity of species, but that does not imply that our globe is necessarily a pleasant place to live. Earth was a harsh and scorching environment at ...
