For years, asteroids have presented a picture of being very remote, lifeless bodies that float in space silently by themselves. However, with recent research, there is hope that certain asteroids may hold tremendous value for the world of economics and science. It has recently been suggested that smaller, carbon-rich asteroids could provide water, organic materials, […]

The idea sounds dramatic, almost clickbait-level dramatic. Is Mars controlling Earth’s climate? It feels wrong on instinct. Climate change is something we argue about in terms of cars, coal, forests, and oceans, not dusty planets hanging millions of kilometres away. And yet, Earth is not floating alone in space. It is part of a system […]

Astronomers eagerly wait for their best chance to see interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS approaching Earth on 19 December. Found on 1 July by NASA-funded ATLAS Telescopes in Chile, the icy comet was the third confirmed interstellar object that entered the solar system after 1I/’Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. Comet 3I/ATLAS will certainly be no […]

The Winter Solstice is more than a date in the calendar. For over four millennia, this event marked an important turning point in the passage of nature, when winter officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere. For one day each year, it marked the moment when the power of light is weakest and when night is […]

Scientists have identified an unusually thick rock layer deep beneath the Bermuda Triangle, revealing a geological feature unlike anything previously documented. The structure, measuring about 20 kilometres in thickness, lies below the oceanic crust and within the tectonic plate beneath Bermuda. The discovery, reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is based on seismic analysis […]

Evidence suggests Ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom began almost a century later/ Image: Pexels For more than a century, historians have worked with a broadly agreed timeline for Ancient Egypt, anchoring its major eras to king lists, inscriptions and archaeological layers. One of the most important of those turning points is the start of the New […]

On December 16 in the early hours of the day, a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V will carry 27 of Amazon’s Leo satellites into orbit in a bid to realise Amazon’s ambitious constellation initiative, which will see it establish a global satellite internet network. The launch will take place at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space […]

Planets in Solar system–Representative Image Finding‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ planets that are outside our solar system, called exoplanets, has changed the way we see the cosmos and our place in it. These faraway planets are extremely hard to find because they are small, dim, and in the bright light of their much brighter parent stars. Most of the […]

Beneath the blue and coral reefs of Bermuda, a far different phenomenon has recently come to light. A geologic formation so unusual that it defies conventional wisdom concerning the formation of oceanic islands. Extending far beneath the ocean floor is a huge, hidden mass of rock over 12 miles thick, pressed between Earth’s crust and […]

Astronomers have captured striking new images showing that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is not only brightening but also taking on a distinct green hue as it approaches Earth. Observed with the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii, the comet’s transformation follows its close approach to the Sun at the end of October, when its surface heated […]
