NASA' Perseverance rover is perfectly positioned to snap pictures of massive sunspots that could spit out powerful solar storms before they become visible from Earth.
Researchers have discovered that the Moon has a solid core and explained the presence of iron-rich materials on its surface. By combining various techniques, scientists have successfully revealed the internal structure of the Moon. Their findings confirm that…
Raman spectroscopy—a chemical analysis method that shines monochromatic light onto a sample and records the scattered light that emerges—has caused frustration among biomedical researchers for more than half a century. Due to the heat generated by the light, …
Using the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), astronomers have performed optical imaging observations of an isolated ultra-thin galaxy known as UGC 11859. Results of the observational campaign, published July 12 in The Astrophysical Journal, deliver important ins…
A team of space scientists from several institutions in The Netherlands, two in the U.S. and one in Sweden, has found evidence of multiple microsecond-length fast radio bursts (FRBs) by analyzing data from the Green Bank Telescope, in West Virginia. The group…
The recent launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in California created a gap in Earth's ionosphere, which resulted in a blood-red glow across the sky visible for hundreds of miles.
As July draws to a close, Earth is set to witness a cosmic spectacle - the high-speed flyby of three Apollo group asteroids, a testimony to the ceaseless dynamics of our universe.
Researchers analyzing ancient deposits in Australia found evidence that Earth's layers started to get mixed up — a fingerprint of plate tectonics — about 1.3 billion years after the planet formed.
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration lost contact with the International Space Station due to a power outage at the mission control centre.
A team of researchers has recently claimed to have discovered six chemical cocktails that could help reverse biological aging. Yet these preliminary laboratory results are a long way away from being applied to humans.
The next Antares launch is scheduled for 8:31 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, Aug. 1, from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad 0A on Wallops Island, Virginia.
Have you ever wondered about the shape of our planet? While many of us picture Earth as a perfect sphere, the truth is quite different. In this article, we will explore the fascinating concept that the Earth is not a perfect sphere but rather an oblate sphero…
The Sun's corona, the outermost layer of its atmosphere, is about 200 times hotter than the photosphere, the Sun's surface. This phenomenon, known as the coronal heating problem, has puzzled astrophysicists for decades.
