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)...

Imagine taking a leisurely Sunday drive, and you accidentally smash something on the road that turns out to be an unprecedented scientific revelation. Well, that’s exactly what happened to NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover on May 30, 2024 when it struck sulfur. While working its usual Martian shift, the...

NASA rover makes surprising discovery that hints at life on Mars

NASA was reporting late Friday that an asteroid the size of an airplane traveling at an incomprehensible speed is headed Earth's direction, though it is unlikely to make contact, scientists said. The asteroid, named 2024 NB2, will get as close as 2,390,000 miles from Earth as it passes through the...

Researchers at Mainz University have discovered a natural compound that could potentially serve as a long-term alternative to opioids and may help alleviate the opioid crisis. Opioids, recognized for their significant pharmacological effects, have long been used as effective painkillers. Morphine, a notable example first isolated and synthesized in the early 19th century, provides crucial relief for patients in the final stages of severe illness.

Scientists realized they’d found a field of pure sulfur stones after the Curiosity rover accidentally crushed one of them, exposing the crystals, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote this week. The rover then collected samples to try to explain them, as elemental sulfur “shouldn’t be there,” according to one...

Whether stars and galaxies formed before black holes or vice versa has long puzzled scientists studying the universe's origins. Traditionally, it was assumed that stars and galaxies preceded black holes, but a recent analysis of early universe data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) challenges this notion.

Thirty years ago, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter, marking a historic moment in astronomy. This collision gave scientists a first-of-its-kind direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision within our Solar System, providing important information regarding Jupiter’s atmosphere and its role in protecting the inner planets from cosmic debris. Comet...

An asteroid around the size of the Washington Monument is set to flash by Earth this month. The so-named 2024 MK asteroid will come even closer than the orbit of the moon on June 29 and is estimated to be around 394 to 885 feet in diameter. The asteroid could pass some 50,000 miles closer than the moon, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover inadvertently crushed a rock while exploring a sulfates-rich area — and revealed a treasure of glinting, yellow crystals. And according to the space agency, it's unlike anything the rover has come across so far. Instead of sulfur-based minerals, which have been discovered several times already in the area, the cracked-open rock turned out to be pure, elemental sulfur.
