Why do pictures of Earth taken from the Moon show a black sky with no stars? Can the stars only be seen with an atmosphere?. The simple answer to your question is the camera settings used to take most photos from the Moon weren’t designed to capture stars. Apollo...

Why do pictures of Earth taken from the Moon show a black sky with no stars?

Editor's note: This article was originally published on November 17, 2022. It has since been updated. Black holes have long fascinated both scientists and the general public. While scientists grapple with finding new information about these regions in our universe, we all are forever fascinated by this concept of science. In a revolutionary experiment, scientists have successfully created a black hole replica, potentially answering several key questions about this cosmic phenomenon, according to Science Alert.

A quantum phenomenon has allowed scientists to develop a lens just three atoms thick, qualifying as the thinnest ever made.
Oddly, the innovative approach allows most wavelengths of light to pass right through – a feature that could see it have huge potential in optical fiber communication and gadgets like augmented reality glasses.



					
			

The researchers who invented the lens, from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Stanford University in the US, say that their innovation will progress research into lenses of this type, as well as miniature electronic systems.
"The lens can be used in applications where the view through the...

A new theory suggests that time might not be a fundamental aspect of our universe but rather an illusion created by quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement occurs when particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one instantly influences the state of another, regardless of distance. According to this theory, the perception of time emerges from the entanglement of objects with a reference clock. Consequently, without this entanglement, the universe would appear static and unchanging to an external observer.This idea challenges traditional views shaped by general relativity, where time is intertwined with the fabric of space and influenced...

NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above the Earth but, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that aliens are about to strike.Using an imaging instrument called the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts uncovered strange X and C shapes, which have been cropping up in surprising places at surprising times.The researchers found the structures dancing around the ionosphere – the area where Earth’s atmosphere meets space – and say that the discovery could help improve radio communications and space weather forecasts.The ionosphere – which sits around 50 to 400 miles (roughly 80 to 644 kilometres)...

NASA scientists discover strange structures hovering above Earth

NASA scientists have discovered something of an alphabet soup in the ionosphere, the part of Earth's atmosphere that sits about 48–965 kilometers (30–600 miles) above our heads – and the finding could help improve space weather forecasts and radio communications. Shapes like this have been detected before,...

The shape of the Solar System was once a little more on the doughy side.
Before it arranged itself into a flattened disk, the distribution of dust and rocks had more in common with a donut than a pancake. This is the conclusion scientists reached after studying iron meteorites from the outer Solar System, finding that they can only be explained if the Solar System's shape was once toroidal.
