Scientists Finally Determined What’s Inside The Moon & It’s Not Cheese

There’s a mysterious object speeding round our galaxy, and it’s going so fast it could soon escape its gravity and jump right through into outer space. The object in question, catchily named CWISE J124909.08+362116.0, is travelling at a mind-boggling 1.3 million miles an hour, or 600 kilometers a second. Experts first came across the object after noticing it was moving at 0.1 per cent of the speed of light, which as you’d expect is abnormally fast. So what exactly is it? Well, if researchers are correct, CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 is a low-mass star – and the first one ever classified as...

NASA has revealed that its Perseverance rover may have found evidence of past life on Mars in the Jezero crater beside an ancient, dried-up river. A rock, collected on July 21 and nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” by NASA, displays traits that may answer the question of whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the past. […]

There are literal oceans' worth of liquid water hiding out on Mars. There's just one big problem. That water is actually in Mars, at depths that are too far below the surface for us to access.



					
			

That's according to new analysis of seismic data collected by the  Mars InSight lander, for which huge reservoirs of liquid water are the best explanation. And, although that water is out of reach, it is an important piece of the strange puzzle of the aquatic history of our dry, desiccated, dusty neighbor.
"Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the...

Scientists Just Found Oceans of Liquid Water on Mars – But There's a Catch

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanets with extremely small orbits around their stars. But what about exoplanets that get close enough to be devoured by their star, and what if it's an Earth-sized exoplanet?. This is what a recent study posted to the arXiv preprint server and accepted to...

Good thing we found this Earth-sized planet now—it's about to be destroyed

In 2015, Samantha Hansen and a team of researchers from the University of Alabama and Arizona State University traveled to Antarctica to install 15 seismology stations. These stations allow researchers to study the interior of the planet. What they ultimately found were large mountain-like structures deep within the Earth. Mountainous...

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

According to the research, these mitochondrial DNA insertions could be linked to early death. Mitochondria in brain cells frequently insert their DNA into the nucleus, potentially impacting lifespan, as those with more insertions were found to die earlier. Stress appears to accelerate this process, suggesting a new way mitochondria influence health beyond energy production.

A MYSTERIOUS interstellar signal once thought to be a sign from aliens has left scientists with more questions than answers. The space laser has stumped researchers for nearly five decades since its discovery. Astronomer Jerry Ehman was so shocked when he found the anomaly in August 1977 that he scrawled the word “Wow!” on the […]

A tiny creature that lived around half a billion years ago has been found almost perfectly preserved, with one scientist exclaiming his “jaw just dropped” while examining the exceptionally rare fossil.Remains of the larva, about the size of a poppy seed, were unearthed in China with its internal organs almost intact.The larva, named Youti yuanshi, dates back to 520 million years ago, around a time that a large diversity of life began to emerge on Earth, including many major animal groups alive today.The team said this ancient creature “provides key clues” on how modern arthropods – a group of animals...

SCIENTISTS have discovered a unique trait on the metal-rich asteroid Psyche by using the James Webb Space Telescope. Researchers identified a water component on the mysterious – and priceless – asteroid 16 Psyche, suggesting that hydration exists in the form of rust. In 2017, researchers discovered traces of water on Psyche’s surface. “Spectra from the […]

Scientists have discovered compelling evidence suggesting that Earth’s first rain fell as early as 4 billion years ago, much earlier than previously believed. Published in Nature Geoscience, the research reveals that the hydrological cycle—the process by which water moves between the atmosphere and the land—was active only 500 million years after Earth formed. By analyzing ancient zircon crystals from the Jack Hills in Australia, scientists detected unusually light oxygen isotopes within these minerals. These isotopes, typically associated with the interaction of water and rock deep below the Earth’s surface, indicate that meteoric water (water originating from precipitation) was present much earlier than once thought. This challenges the prevailing theory that Earth was completely covered by the ocean during this period and suggests that the planet may have had landmasses capable of supporting life much sooner.
