Solar particles are directly released from the Sun at high speeds during storms in its outer atmosphere. The particles are also highly charged, and if they could reach our planet’s atmosphere, they can produce severe damage. Researchers have now succeeded ...
Pollen grains from flowering plants naturally fly, often travelling hundreds of kilometres on the wind. It appears that the climate crisis has boosted that travel, kickstarting the allergy season in various areas of the world, thus making them last longer ...
There are still many mysteries that Milky Way challenges us to discover and solve. One of them includes some odd yet fascinating stellar streams, some river-like structures made up of stars. These cosmic features puzzle astronomers’ work, especially when it ...
ESA’s recent efforts of studying lunar caves prove to be more efficient than previously thought. The space agency has recently begun the third series of research exploring the subterranean lunar world more in-depth. From five initial concepts of previous Sysnova ...
Even if the Parker Solar Probe has begun its journey to the Sun recently, it has already offered a great deal of data. Thanks to one of the probe’s cameras, the Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe, or WISPR, we ...
When the Perseverance rover safely landed on Mars, inside the Jezero Crater, it marked the symbolic safe landing of nearly eleven million names onboard one week ago. The names were collected during NASA’s “Send your Name to Mars” campaign, which ...
Australia just got closer to a major space goal thanks to its recent development. A team of researchers has successfully tested a new propulsion system that could allow high-speed flight and space launch sessions. The rotating detonation engine, RDE, represents ...
NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a new high-definition panoramic view of Mars’ Jezero Crater. The shot is fantastic, and it shows a great deal of Martian ground. Thanks to the rover’s Mastcam-Z, a dual-camera system equipped with an advanced zoom feature, ...
Neutron stars and black holes might be one of the deadliest squads we’ve ever seen. Small black holes could exist in the core of neutron stars with only one mission: devour the host. Astronomers have chosen recently a different approach, ...
Good news from Mars! NASA just received the first report from the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, so we know what’s really happening up there. According to the report, everything is operating as expected, meaning both the helicopter and its base station ...
NASA’s Perseverance has finally landed on the Red Planet! The news came yesterday as the rover streaked gloriously through the orange Martian atmosphere and touched the planet’s ground. That was just the first step and the riskiest one yet in ...
Planet 9 has stirred quite the buzz back in 2016. Astronomers discovered it just at the far edges of our solar system, beyond Neptune. Recently, researchers have found no proof of trans-Neptunian cosmic feature clustering as part of an attempt ...
The Moon’s craters could be more important than we previously believed, especially when the biggest crater out there has so many secrets. According to a recent study, the crater covering around a quarter of our old planetary friend’s surface can ...
NASA’s InSight probe is getting ready for some changes. Winter is coming to Elysium Planitia, and the bold probe needs to be kept safe. InSight deals with one of the toughest challenges so far: dust. The increasing dustiness of the ...
As the Universe unfolds itself in front of space telescopes’ eyes, we know that we’ll never understand it nor explore it thoroughly. It’s an enormous place, home of many cosmic features, galaxies, planets, and other worlds yet to be discovered. ...
A new super-Earth has been spotted recently, neighbouring the Alpha Centauri. A team of researchers developed a new intriguing technique and realized this discovery. Finding a super-Earth has proved so far to be one of the most challenging quests. Astronomers ...
A compact cluster of stars holds a surprise at its core, leaving astronomers in awe. Apparently, a bunch of stars and black holes can get well without a problem. The clump of stars in question, dubbed NGC 6397, is filled ...
The United Arab Emirates now makes history with its first – and successful – interplanetary mission! The UAE’s probe, dubbed Hope, in Arabic “Al-Amal,” entered Mars’ orbit on Monday (February 8). The spacecraft is developed to unveil the secrets of ...
On February 18, NASA’s Perseverance rover will arrive on Mars, beginning a new era of exploring the red planet. It will land on the Jezero Crater, located north of the planet’s equator, and it will be a very challenging landing. ...
China proves how successful its Mars probe is already by publishing an incredible photo of the planet. Tianwen-1 has begun its journey back in July 2020 and is expected to soon touch down on the Red Planet. As the spacecraft’s ...
Tesla recently announced that it purchased $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin. In a recent statement, the company claimed it bought the bitcoin for “more flexibility to diversify further and maximize returns on our cash.” Tesla also added that it would ...
Even if we’re millions of kilometers away, we didn’t forget Mars’ event this week! The Red Planet celebrated a new year yesterday (February 7), as per our calendar-keeping on Earth. One year on our planetary friend is 687 Earth days ...
How we imagine the Milky Way galaxy might not be entirely true. Most of us think about the galaxy as a massive central mass circled by a flat disc of stars that twirls around it. That might be the case, ...
Recently, physicists have begun work at improving the gravitational wave detectors. Their goal is to double the next-gen detectors’ sensitivity by enabling a technique dubbed “squeezing.” The gravitational waves are known for their weak signal, and the detectors, like VIRGO ...
A team of astronomers released new data of a bizarre star located approximately 15,000 light-years away from our planet. What’s more intriguing is that this type of star is also unique and displays never-seen-before activity. As the Universe sometimes unfolds ...
