A mysterious object that is 27,306 times the size of Earth has been spotted flying through space at one million miles per hour, NASA reports. The object (CWISE J1249), discovered by citizen scientists working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project, is “moving so fast that it will escape the Milky Way’s gravity and shoot […]

A Massive, Mysterious Object Is Traveling Through Space At One Million Miles Per Hour

It is not usual for a spacecraft that is sent into space to send out gibberish messages. However, it is always a mystery for scientists to understand these strange sounds and messages. In a breakthrough, NASA engineers have finally been able to figure out what messages Voyager 1 has been sending since November last year.

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...

A MAP of the stars could lead alien-hunters directly to where extra-terrestrial life may be hiding. Scientists have created a 3D illustration charting a list of nearby stars that may be hosting “habitable” alien worlds. They used data from Nasa‘s Chandra X-ray Observatory to identify these planets. It involved finding stars that are close enough […]

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 […]

Researchers have discovered that the same principles governing air turbulence in the troposphere also apply to the thermosphere. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that turbulence in the thermosphere follows the same physical laws as wind in the lower atmosphere. Additionally, the study found that wind in the thermosphere mainly rotates cyclonically, meaning it turns counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Researchers have detailed the jumping mechanics of globular springtails, small hexapods that perform rapid, spinning backflips to avoid predators. Using high-speed cameras, they captured these jumps, revealing how springtails use a special appendage to achieve remarkable speeds and heights, far exceeding their own body length. Move over, Sonic. There’s a...

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. […]

UGC 3478, featured in this Hubble Space Telescope image, is a Seyfert galaxy characterized by its bright active galactic nucleus containing a supermassive black hole. Located relatively close at 128 million light-years, its emitted X-rays and the surrounding galaxy’s structure offer crucial data on galactic dynamics. Cosmic Marvels: Spotlight...

Amateur astronomers have made significant contributions to astronomy by confirming a new “warm Jupiter.”. Using backyard telescopes and collaborating with the SETI Institute, these citizen scientists played a crucial role in observing and characterizing the transit of a newly discovered exoplanet. Their findings, now published in the Astronomical Journal, underscore the value of global participation in space research, involving even high school students as co-authors.

Something in space powerful enough to slingshot a would-be star out of the Milky Way at a million miles an hour is mystifying scientists. A team of citizen scientists first discovered the object while they were working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds Planet 9 project, which uses images from the space agency’s WISE (Wide-field Infrared Explorer) mission. The mission ran from 2009 to 2011 and mapped the sky in infrared light. Once scientists at NASA got involved, they’ve since learned more about the object, including what it could be made of and where it came from.

The Voyager I spacecraft was in the news once again in June as NASA was able to restore transmissions from all four of its temporarily disabled instruments. Launched way back in 1977, the unmanned craft is now the most distant man-made object in the universe: 15.5 billion miles from Earth, and constantly increasing that distance […]

Christina Zielinski and her team have discovered that sodium chloride can enhance the activity of specific immune cells in combating cancer. Sodium chloride, commonly known as “table salt,” was once a highly prized commodity. Today, it is both affordable and essential in the kitchen. Unsurprisingly, salt has also made its way into our everyday language, often carrying negative connotations. However, the phrase “rubbing salt into the wound” may soon take on a positive meaning, particularly in the context of cancer therapy.

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 […]
