Has it ever crossed your mind that the moon you gaze at today is not in the same spot it was millions, thousands, or even hundreds of years ago? The idea might seem far-fetched, but science tells us that our moon is slowly, but surely, drifting away. Billions of years...

Our moon is drifting away, and Earth will never be the same without it

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.

When an asteroid hit the Gulf of Mexico 66 million years ago, Earth changed forever. The impact caused a mass extinction event, killing around 60 per cent of the planet’s species – including all of the non-avian dinosaurs. Now, new evidence suggests that the asteroid behind the destruction...

The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs had a very strange origin, scientists find

For the past several decades, the scientific community has been deeply invested in figuring out where the asteroid came from that caused the massive extinction of the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. This significant event transformed Earth’s biodiversity and ignited a plethora of theories and discussions among researchers.

Eventually, we're going to want to expand the World Wide Web across the galaxy, and NASA recently demonstrated a key piece of tech that could help, beaming messages via laser across a distance of almost 16 million kilometers (10 million miles).



					
			

That's about 40 times farther than  the Moon is from Earth, and the accomplishment, achieved in November 2023, represented the first time that optical communications have been sent across such a distance.
Traditionally, we use radio waves to talk to distant spacecraft – but higher frequencies of light, such as near infrared, offer an increase in bandwidth and therefore a...

NASA Beamed a Laser Message to Earth From 10 Million Miles Away

One common approach is to calculate the centroid or center of mass of all land surfaces on Earth. In 1973, physicist Andrew J. Woods used a digital global map to pinpoint this center at 39°00′N 34°00′E, near the district of Kırşehir in modern-day Turkey.

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
