The Moon is a constant in the night sky, but all is not actually as it seems. It turns out that scientists have discovered the Moon is drifting away from Earth, and it’s changing everything we thought we knew about our planet’s relationship with its only natural satellite. It’s also having a very real impact on the length of days on our planet – albeit at an incredibly slow rate. By moving away from Earth over the course of millions of years, the Moon is simultaneously making the length of the average day longer.A study by a team at the...

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

NASA’s Curiosity rover recently made an astonishing discovery on Mars by accidentally crushing a boulder, revealing yellow sulfur crystals. This find is groundbreaking as it marks the first time rocks composed of pure sulfur have been observed on the Red Planet. The conditions required for sulfur crystal formation are typically limited and were not considered present in the region Curiosity explored. Since October 2023, Curiosity has been navigating an area abundant in sulfates, which are sulfur-containing salts formed through water evaporation. While previous detections involved sulfur mixed with other materials, this discovery of elemental sulfur challenges scientists’ understanding of Mars’s geological history. The unexpected nature of this find has sparked excitement among scientists, highlighting the unpredictable and thrilling aspects of planetary exploration.

 Nasa may have found evidence of past alien life on Mars.The space agency says that its rover, Perseverance, has found a rock that might once have been host to microbial life, billions of years ago.A host of notable traits found on the rock suggest that it is possible that it is evidence that there is life on the red planet. Researchers say that it is filled with organic compounds, shows that water once flowed through it, and is marked with specks of the kind that on Earth usually signal life.The Perseverance rover has used onboard instruments to examine the...

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...

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...
