Increased earthquake activity and ground deformation at Kīlauea’s upper East Rift Zone began at approximately 13:30 UTC (03:30 HST) on July 23, 2024, indicating likely magma movement in the subsurface. This activity has prompted Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park to close areas that could put visitors and staff at risk if the volcano erupts.

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)...

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...

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...

Could there be diamonds on Mercury? According to NASA, its MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) probe discovered what could be a layer of diamonds 10 miles thick below the planet’s surface. The diamonds may lie beneath the crust of Mercury, in the planet’s mantle. Discovered...

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.

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.

The 6 Zodiac Signs That Can Either Heal or Destroy You

The liquid hydrocarbon seas, lakes, and rivers on Saturn’s moon Titan showcase diverse compositions and exhibit signs of active tides or currents, according to recent detailed studies. The north polar region of Titan, imaged using radar signals from the Cassini probe, reveals a seascape reminiscent of Earth’s combination of freshwater rivers and salty oceans. Unlike Earth, however, Titan’s reservoirs are filled with methane and ethane, which remain liquid at the moon’s average surface temperatures.
