Jupiter’s Icy moon Europa may have enough internal heat to trigger volcanic activity on the floor of its global ocean, according to the results of a new study. Despite being encased in a shell of water ice, Europa is considered to be one of the most pr… Continue reading Seafloor volcanoes may be supporting life on icy Europa
The dual disk structure of our home galaxy may not be as unique as once thought, according to the results of a new study that probed the cross section of a spiral galaxy orbiting edge-on from the Milky Way.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: … Continue reading Astronomers find Milky Way might not be so odd after all
It could take Earth’s freshwater ecosystems millions of years to recover from the damage inflicted upon them by humans, according to the results of a new study. The research also revealed that gastropods living in these environments are going extinct a… Continue reading Biodiversity may take millions of years to recover from human impacts
A recent study has revealed that crewed missions launching to Earth’s moon and beyond may soon be facing a new challenge. Just five years from now, such ventures could be at an increased risk of extreme space weather events emanating from the Sun.Conti… Continue reading Extreme space weather could soon pose a larger risk to Moon missions
Scientists have mapped wind “rivers” in Earth’s atmosphere that are responsible for transporting huge quantities of potentially dangerous aerosols around the planet. Particles that travel through these atmospheric rivers eventually descend to cause hav… Continue reading New study maps out Earth’s global atmospheric rivers
A new study has revealed that Earth’s glaciers have lost a staggering amount of ice over the last two decades, and the rate of loss is accelerating. The global effort used satellite data to track the deteriorating condition of some 220,000 glaciers, wh… Continue reading Study reveals massive ice loss from Earth’s glaciers in recent decades
High-altitude icy clouds may have allowed ancient Mars to host rivers and lakes by warming the planet via a greenhouse effect, according to the results of a new study. The theory could be tested by NASA’s Perseverance rover, which is currently actively… Continue reading Ancient Mars may have icy clouds to thank for its liquid water
NASA and SpaceX have successfully launched the second long-term Crew Dragon mission to the International Space Station (ISS) from American soil. The capsule, named Endeavor, was launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Complex 39A of NASA’s Kennedy … Continue reading NASA and SpaceX launch second long-term Crew Dragon mission to ISS
Scientists may be able to detect the presence of dark matter by searching for anomalous heat signatures from distant alien worlds. Dark matter is an enigmatic, invisible substance that is thought to make up around 80 percent of the universe’s mass.Cont… Continue reading Exoplanets could be used as colossal detectors in hunt for dark matter
Scientists have developed a new satellite-data-based early warning technique that could one day be used to predict volcanic eruptions years before they take place, according to the results of a new study. Alongside providing advanced warning, the orbit… Continue reading New technique could help predict volcanic eruptions years in advance
