NASA’s scientists recently studied the data obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope from a distant exoplanet named WASP-80 b. The data revealed fascinating details of the atmospheric secrets of the exoplanet. JWST observed the planet as it moved both in front and behind its host star. The telescope captured a distinctive spectrum indication showing […]

Antarctica, which is the coldest continent on our planet is losing its ice. Since this region is the world’s freezer, scientists are worried about the impact Antarctic ice melting will have on Earth. A team led by Cornell University researchers recently published a study suggesting the role of crevasses in the icy continent. Scientists discovered

A team of international researchers recently worked together to uncover the strange source that triggered the most massive quake on Mars ever recorded on the red planet. Generally, Mars quakes are seismic events that vibrate the Martian surface. On May 4, 2022, the red planet witnessed the largest quake with about a magnitude of 4.7.

Despite every technological advancement that we have today, we are still referred to as a baby civilization. But why baby civilization if you may ask? Modern scientists and futurists rate the growth of an advanced civilization based on their rate on the Kardashev scale. Note that Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev proposed the concept of the
While performing its daily exploration routine on a Sunday on Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover observed a small tornado of dust moving toward the horizon. The rover turned its camera and captured a video of the dust devil. Scientists studied this dust and concluded that it is about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) tall and 200 feet

The human body cannot do without sleep. Hence, astronauts in space still have to sleep in the weightless environment of space to regain their strength after engaging in complex daily tasks. However, unlike Earth where we can jump onto our bed and get a good sleep, astronauts in space are mandated to follow certain guidance
In a recent study, Astronomers studied a brown dwarf star orbiting a white dwarf to discover that it has a surface temperature of about 8,000 kelvins (K). Keep in mind that our Sun has a surface temperature of 5778 K. Hence, it implies that the newly discovered brown stars are more than 2000 k more
Astronomers Discover a Brown Dwarf Star Hotter Than The Sun Read More »
NASA recently studied the data provided by its InSight lander to conclude that Mars days are shrinking. The provided data revealed the exact measurements of the rotation of the red planet. NASA scientists closely studied the data to discover that Mars is recently spinning at greater speed of around four milliarcseconds per year². Even though
NASA Perseverance rover has collected samples of the Mars surface and stored them in its chamber. The American Space Agency is working on its Mars Sample Return Mission to bring back these collected samples from the surface of the red planet to Earth. NASA successfully tested these two engines that will be deployed in its
As NASA prepares for its next phase of space exploration, the space agency is already testing its sophisticated thrusters that will play a vital role on the Gateway Space Station before the end of this decade. NASA recently announced that its engineers and Aerojet Rocketdyne have commenced with the multiyear qualification testing on the most advanced solar
