Incoming! A “speedy coronal mass ejection” (CME) is headed for Earth, and if it gives us as much light as predicted, we could be there. the northern lights show tonight. Geomagnetic activity is expected to improve today due to the arrival of the CME which left the sun during X.1.4 solar flares In the early … Read more
The discovery of large amounts of nickel in the once water-filled surface of Mars provides further evidence that the red planet may have once provided suitable conditions for life. In Neretva Vallis, an ancient channel that once carried water to the slopes of Jezero Crater, researchers found more nickel than ever before in a Martian … Read more
In the vastness of the universe, where time passes on unimaginable scales, some objects stand out as cosmic time capsules. One such thing is a star 3I/ATLASa mysterious traveler who entered our solar system from beyond the stars. Recently, scientists made a surprising discovery: this comet may exist 12 million yearswhich may make it one … Read more
Here’s what you’ll learn by reading this story: The Mars Climate Orbiter (MCO) was launched in late 1998 and was predicted to reach Mars nine months later. But that didn’t happen. When the MCO approached Mars, it got too close and either burned up in the atmosphere or got lost in some other way. A … Read more
Ten years after their discovery, amazing radio sounds that appear under Antarctica continue to surprise scientists. New research has shed some light on some of the funniest explanations, but the true origins of these shows are unknown. The signs were taken first between 2016 and 2018 by NASA ANITA testa balloon-borne antenna designed to detect … Read more
Sign up to see the future, today I can’t miss the innovations from the edge of science and technology Scientists have long been intrigued by a large potato-shaped asteroid, called 16 Psyche, which they suspect is rich in iron – so it could be very lucrative for future asteroid mining. The 173-kilometer object, which orbits … Read more
Scientists have long been intrigued by a large potato-shaped asteroid, called 16 Psyche, which they suspect is rich in iron – so it could be very lucrative for future asteroid mining. The 173-kilometer object, which orbits the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, has two large crater-like areas, which researchers say may … Read more

A new concept of missions, recently introduced in 57th Lunar and Planetary Science Conferencepromises to take humanity one step closer to uncovering the frozen secrets of Uranus. Observations by the CASMIUS (Coupled AtmosphereS and Magnetosphere Interactions of the Uranus System) mission could reveal important details about this mysterious planet, which has remained unknown since Voyager … Read more
Astronomers are discovering things that were once hidden inside some of the largest objects in the universe, known as galaxies. Using the powerful MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, researchers have mapped the extinction, the scattering of radio emissions, a signal that reveals the energetic processes that occur in the large spaces between galaxies when … Read more
