Astronomers unveil first direct image of young exoplanet just 63 light-years away
An international team of researchers has recently obtained the first direct image of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris c (B Pic c), confirming its existence since its indirect discovery in 2019. The “baby” exoplanet, which is estimated to be around 18 million years old, is the second planet known to orbit the star Beta Pictoris. The star […]

NASA details complex mission to collect rock samples from asteroid Bennu
In just a few weeks, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be making history as it attempts to collect its first rock samples from an asteroid. The autonomous spacecraft OSIRIS-REx will be touching down briefly on the asteroid Bennu on Oct. 20. Through its robotic arm, it will scoop rocks on the landing site Nightingale, a 52-foot […]

Amazing Earth: The planet’s magnetic poles can flip more frequently than originally thought
Earth is wrapped by a magnetic field powered by the churning of hot molten metals in the outer core. Thanks to this invisible field, the planet is protected from the solar wind and cosmic particles, permitting just enough radiation to tide humans by. This magnetic field, however, can flip and does so many times every million years or so, […]

Are we under alien surveillance? Physicists say it’s a possibility
Aliens might have already found us, and they’ve been on the lookout ever since. American physicist James Benford proposes that alien “lurkers” may have set up probes on near-Earth objects (NEOs) that follow an orbital pattern similar to Earth. What’s more, these co-orbitals are very close to us, bound gravitationally not just to the sun but also the planet. But […]

Heavy metal rain: Colossal “kilonova” explosions may be showering a nearby galaxy in gold and platinum
It’s not uncommon for cosmic objects such as stars to crash into each other. Such mergers generate massive explosions and send gravitational waves rippling through the cosmos. Mergers involving neutron stars are particularly strong. They result in a massive, turbocharged explosion called a kilonova that can be observed in nearly all space telescopes on Earth. An international […]

New theory suggests how magnetars, a type of neutron star, can crack themselves open and send gamma-ray flares to Earth
Earth was pummeled by three separate series of intense gamma-ray flares in the last 40 years. While scientists agree that magnetars, a type of neutron star, were behind the flares, the mechanism that unleashed those waves of energy remains unknown. A recent study offers a compelling theory to what that mechanism is. Researchers from the University of […]

Model for plasma flow on the Sun reveals secrets behind sunspots and other solar phenomena
Scientists have studied the Sun for a long time. But solar phenomena such as sunspots have remained a mystery. Researchers from the University of Washington attempted to solve the puzzle by creating a model of the Sun’s plasma flow. They showed that a thin layer beneath its surface plays a vital role in the formation of sunspots and other solar features. This […]

Astronomers detect signs of life on Venus
An international team of researchers found evidence of a gas on Venus that could indicate the planet may harbor life. The gas in question is phosphine, a colorless chemical compound that smells like garlic or decaying fish. It is commonly produced by microorganisms on Earth in the absence of oxygen or by the breakdown of organic matter. The team […]

Shapeshifting robots straight out of sci-fi can be used to explore volcanoes and caves on Titan, Saturn’s moon
Engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have found a way to help scientists gain access to worlds located in the depths of outer space: the Shapeshifter robot. Currently being tested in a robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, the current Shapeshifter prototype, according to its engineers, can split […]

Painting the Red Planet green: Botanist plans to bring greenery to Mars
In Andy Weir’s science fiction novel turned Hollywood blockbuster “The Martian,” lead character Mark Watney survives on Mars by using his botany skills to grow a small farm in his habitat. While this concept of growing plants on Mars may seem like pure science fiction now, real-life botanists want to make it a reality. At the Mars […]
