Astronomers have potentially detected a high-velocity system in the Milky Way, possibly comprising a tiny star and a massive exoplanet traveling at 1.2 million miles per hour. This celestial pair…
Twilight clouds, known as noctilucent clouds, create a celestial display on Mars, glowing with vibrant hues after sunset. Observed by NASA’s Curiosity rover from Gale Crater, these clouds primarily consist…
The Euclid telescope, operated by the European Space Agency, has discovered an Einstein ring, demonstrating the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. Located 590 million light-years away, the well-studied galaxy NGC 6505…
The Earth’s inner core is undergoing significant changes, influencing seismic activity and potentially the length of our days. Researchers found that the inner core experiences viscous deformation, reshaping in response…
New fuel developed by General Atomics withstands extreme temperatures up to 4,940°F. Successful tests showed the fuel’s integrity at temperatures reaching 3,000 Kelvin. This breakthrough could significantly enhance the efficiency…
Asteroid 2024 YR4 poses a 2.3% collision risk with Earth on December 22, 2032. This risk has nearly doubled from earlier assessments. Tracking efforts are ongoing with ground-based telescopes until…
Astronomers have discovered one of the largest radio jets, measuring about 200,000 light-years, originating from the young quasar J1601+3102. This jet provides insights into the universe when it was only…
This week, observe a spectacular alignment of the moon, Mars, and Jupiter. On February 6-7, watch Jupiter close to the moon in Taurus, both shining brightly. The moon will be…
The discovery of Vegavis iaai represents the oldest known modern bird, dating back 68 million years. This fossil was found in Antarctica and offers insights into the diversity of avian…
An asteroid 15 miles wide impacted the moon 3.8 billion years ago, releasing energy 130 times greater than all nuclear weapons combined. This event created two significant canyons, Vallis Planck…
