What NASA says would happen if Earth got too close to a black hole
Approaching a black hole unleashes extreme tidal forces, stretching and tearing apart matter, including planets like Earth, a phenomenon known as spaghettification. Time also slows dramatically due to gravitational time dilation. While a supermassive black hole might offer a slightly less violent initial encounter, survival remains improbable due to radiation and instability.
CH-3 data reveals unexpectedly active electrical environment at Moons South Pole
The discovery made by Chandrayaan-3's lander has revealed a vibrant plasma environment in the Moon's southern polar areas. Recent measurements indicate an unexpected surge in electron densities and energetic particles, surpassing earlier predictions. This dynamic, electrically charged layer is greatly influenced by solar wind and Earths magnetic forces, providing vital knowledge that could shape upcoming lunar explorations.
Aditya-L1s data sheds new light on May 2024 superstorm
In an exciting revelation, Indian scientists have teamed up with data from Aditya-L1 and US spacecraft to decode the mysteries surrounding Gannon's storm, the formidable solar storm of May 2024. Their research unveiled the dramatic interplay of two colliding coronal mass ejections that engaged in a significant magnetic reconnection, resulting in intensified solar activity directed at Earth.
Northern lights to light up sky on December 9: When, where and how to view the rare celestial event
A powerful solar storm is set to bring the Northern Lights to lower latitudes on December 9th. Skywatchers across many US states could witness vibrant auroral displays, extending far beyond their usual northern zones. Experts advise seeking dark, clear skies for the best chance to see this rare celestial event.
Mysterious red lights falling from space, initially thought to be alien signals, have been identified by scientists as red sprites. These rare upper-atmosphere lightning phenomena occur high above thunderstorms, appearing as upward-traveling pillars or jellyfish-shaped glows. Captured by citizen scientists and astronauts, these striking electrical events are triggered by powerful ground lightning strikes.
Ancient Mars once teemed with flowing rivers, forming vast drainage systems. A new study has mapped these large basins, revealing they concentrated nutrients and sediments, making them prime locations for potential past life. These findings are crucial for guiding future missions in the search for evidence of ancient Martian habitability.
'Aliens need to be a lot smarter to reach out to us...': Ex-Nasa Astronaut Mike Massimino
The astronaut also gave a straightforward reponse to the viral question circulating on social media on whether or not can people have sex in space? I don't see why not, he said with a smile.
Sentinel 6B launched by NASA satellite to boost climate monitoring
NASA's Sentinel-6B satellite, launched in mid-November, is a significant advancement in climate monitoring. This new spacecraft will provide highly precise data on sea-level rise and atmospheric conditions, enabling scientists to track the growing impacts of climate change. Operating alongside its twin, Sentinel-6B will soon take over primary sea level measurements, continuing crucial climate research.
Scientists are exploring a mysterious third state between life and death. Cell clusters from dead organisms are showing new capabilities in labs. This discovery could revolutionize regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. It challenges our understanding of death and may impact organ donation and end-of-life care. Research continues to uncover hidden biological layers.
Scientists discover 16,600 fossil footprints: Largest dinosaur gathering ever
Scientists uncovered a massive dinosaur footprint site in Bolivia. Over 16,600 tracks from predatory theropods were found. This site is the largest ever discovered. The prints offer rare evidence of dinosaur swimming and tail dragging. Researchers are exploring reasons for this predator-only gathering. The findings are changing our understanding of prehistoric life.
Did the worlds first solar eclipse change Earths rotation? Scientists decode a 709 BCE mystery
Ancient Chinese astronomers observed a solar eclipse in 709 BCE with remarkable detail. These old records are now helping scientists understand Earth's rotation changes over thousands of years. They also reveal patterns in solar activity. This ancient data improves modern astronomical models and our understanding of planetary dynamics and climate links.
Skywatchers witnessed a spectacular Cold Moon on December 5, 2025, the year's final supermoon. Its proximity to Earth made it appear larger and brighter, enhanced by winter's clear skies and the Moon's high elevation. This celestial event, steeped in tradition, also influenced nocturnal wildlife, showcasing the interplay between astronomical phenomena and Earth's ecosystems.
60,000 African penguins died: Study finds shocking truth behind the mass die off
A devastating collapse in sardine stocks led to the starvation of over 60,000 African penguins on South Africa's Dassen and Robben Islands between 2004 and 2012. This food shortage, exacerbated by environmental shifts and fishing pressure, wiped out 95% of colonies. The crisis highlights the species' critical endangerment, with urgent fishing limits now crucial for survival.
