The remarkable aurora in early May this year demonstrated the power that solar storms can emit as radiation, but occasionally the Sun does something far more destructive. Known as "solar particle events", these blasts of protons directly from the surface of the Sun can shoot out like a searchlight into space.

A mountain-sized asteroid nicknamed the “planet killer” will make its closest approach to Earth in over a century on Thursday.The asteroid, officially known as Asteroid (415029) 2011 UL21, will pass by Earth just after 9pm BST (4pm ET) on 27 June, travelling at nearly 26 kilometres per second.Nasa has classified the rock as a “potentially hazardous asteroid”, though it poses no danger to Earth for at least the next thousand years. According to the open-source project Space Reference, the asteroid is “comparable in size to Mount Everest” and will make a much closer approach in 2089.A free live stream of...

Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

3 Zodiac Signs Who Are Old Souls

Pennsylvania State

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In a discovery that has left astronomers scratching their heads, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed ancient galaxies that seem impossibly mature for their age. These cosmic relics, existing when the universe was a mere five percent of its current age, are forcing scientists to reconsider fundamental theories about galaxy formation and evolution.

(MA) Get ready to meet three little balls of fluff who are ready to fill your heart, and life, with love. Brynn, Bambi, and Bubbles Bath are 6-week-old Great Pyrenees mix sisters who were found as strays living under a porch. Sadly, their mother, also a stray, did not allow herself to be caught and brought into rescue alongside her babies. Despite that, the three puppies are healthy and happy in their new foster home. They have a bright future ahead of them, assuming YOU adopt them! Or, maybe you don't want pure joy, cuteness, and fluff-love in your life.

NASA's Space Telescope Unravels Jupiter's Atmosphere And It's Not What Anyone Expected

NASA scientists have spotted unusual shapes in the Earth's ionosphere, hundreds of miles above the Earth's surface. The ionosphere stretches from 50 to 400 miles above the planet and marks the boundary between our planet's atmosphere and outer space. While it houses most satellites orbiting the Earth, it's vulnerable to changes in space weather — electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sun — that can wreak havoc in the zone and mess with communications equipment.

The Sun is the center of the universe, and all planets revolve around it, right? Well, not exactly. When people think of the solar system, they usually picture the Sun at the center with Earth and the other planets orbiting it. However, the reality is more complex, reports IFLScience. Surprisingly, even the moon doesn't orbit the Earth. So, what really goes on in our solar system?

Turns out the Earth and other planets technically don't always orbit around the Sun's center

COPENHAGEN — Two samples from Mars together deliver the “smoking gun” in a new study showing the origin of Martian organic material. The study presents solid evidence for a prediction made over a decade ago by University of Copenhagen researchers that could be key to understanding how organic molecules, the foundation of life, were first formed here on Earth.

The Milky Way is not alone in its little corner of the Universe. Tiny, faint dwarf galaxies, many with as few as a thousand stars, swoop around our cosmic neighborhood on long graceful circuits. It's unclear exactly how many there are, but there should be a lot more than the 60 or so we've found to date.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.
