Planet’s wild orbit offers clues to how such large, hot planets take shape. A team of astronomers has discovered a juvenile planet, TIC 241249530 b, which is transitioning into a hot Jupiter. This planet, in a unique eccentric and retrograde orbit, is a key to understanding the dynamic processes that transform distant, icy giants into blazing, star-hugging worlds.

New evidence supports the hypothesis that a fragmented comet triggered a dramatic climate change 12,800 years ago, with findings across the U.S. indicating the occurrence of powerful “touchdown” airbursts without forming craters. Researchers are further strengthening the case for the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis, which suggests that a...

It took feats of engineering and deft piloting to map the planet’s topography, an achievement that continues to pay dividends decades later. In 2000, Commander Kevin Kregel led the Endeavour space shuttle mission, equipped with a 200-foot-long mast for the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) to create a detailed 3D map of Earth. Despite technical challenges like mast flexibility and frozen gas jets, innovative solutions like the fly-cast maneuver allowed the team to map over 80% of Earth’s landmass. Today, SRTM data continues to aid global environmental and economic studies.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

The research team has published new results from the MOSAiC project. Photosynthesis occurs in nature even under very low light conditions, according to a global study focused on Arctic microalgae growth following the polar night. This research was conducted during the MOSAiC expedition near the 88° northern latitude. Findings indicate that microalgae are capable of accumulating biomass through photosynthesis by late March, even in these extreme northern regions.

Sharing a living space with someone on the daily is rarely a walk in the park. Everyone has their little strange quirks, moods and habits that can drive another person crazy. However, some zodiac signs are known for being particularly demanding or having personality traits that naturally make cohabitation a little more challenging to say the least. Let's see which zodiac signs are the most difficult to live with and tips with how to cope!

The 3 Most Demanding Zodiac Signs to Live With

Researchers identify how brain circuits in mice amplify sensory prediction errors through a unique interaction between the neocortex and thalamus, shedding light on mechanisms that may contribute to ASDs and SSDs. Scientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL have discovered how the neocortex and thalamus work together to detect...

There are many complex and nuanced reasons why people might get back together with an ex. Taking an ex-partner back is a big decision that's not to be taken lightly but sometimes the decision is in the stars. Some zodiac signs are even known for potentially getting back with their exes more than others. Let's see which 4 are the most likely and dive in why.

4 Zodiac Signs That Always Go Back to Their Exes

Scientists will study nearby galaxies to uncover galactic formation history and dark matter. The universe may seem static, only capable of being captured in still frames, but that is far from the truth. It is actually ever-changing, just not on timescales clearly visible to humans. NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope will bridge this gap in time, opening the way to the dynamic universe.

A new study highlights the significant impacts of unprecedented heat waves in Antarctica, which are occurring even during winter months. These extreme temperatures, which are a result of climate change, not only melt glaciers and disrupt wildlife, particularly microorganisms, and invertebrates, but also pose challenges for species adapted to extreme cold and dry conditions. The research underscores the broad ecological consequences and the urgent need to monitor and understand these phenomena as they have implications far beyond the continent.
