The December 2025 full moon, widely called the Cold Moon, promises one of the year’s most striking lunar displays. This supermoon will appear larger and brighter than most other full moons, reaching an unusually high point in the sky for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. Its proximity to Earth during perigee enhances its size, making […]

Source: Scientific American The European Space Agency is moving ahead with one of its most ambitious missions yet. It is planning a dedicated journey to Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, a world believed to hold a vast ocean beneath its frozen crust. This mission, set for launch in the 2040s, will use both an orbiter and […]

More than 300 years between 614–911 AD were allegedly fabricated by Otto III, Pope Sylvester II and possibly Constantine VII. Most of us can’t agree on much these days, but we can at least agree it’s the year 2025. Or can we? A fringe historical theory insists we’re actually living in 1726, and that roughly […]

The Afar region in northeastern Africa represents one of the few locations on Earth where a new ocean may be forming over the next several million years. Situated at a unique triple junction where the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and East African Rift converge, Afar offers scientists a rare opportunity to observe the processes […]

Red Spider Nebula (Image credits: Nasa) Nasa has released a new image of the Red Spider Nebula, revealing never-before-seen details of NGC 6537. Captured with the James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), the image shows the nebula with remarkable clarity, its full structure stretched across a dense backdrop of thousands of stars. The European […]

Many men only notice the scrotal raphe by chance, often mistaking it for a scar or a surgical line/ Representational AI Image Plenty of men only notice it by accident, often during a long shower or a curious moment later in life, a pale, raised, seam-like line running down the middle of the scrotum that […]

When scientists want to understand how the human brain really works, they often turn to carefully controlled experiments. But a growing group of researchers, including neuroscientists at Princeton University who pioneered the use of films in brain-scanning studies, is taking a far more surprising approach. Instead of flashing simple shapes or static images, they are […]

Representative image (Photo credit: AP) Nasa has, for the first time, found signs of ‘mini-lightning’ on Mars after its rover accidentally recorded tiny “zaps” during the planet’s frequent dust storms. Scientists have argued for years about whether electrical sparks could happen in Mars’ dusty atmosphere, but they never had solid proof.Now, a study titled “Detection […]

India has secured seven new references on the Martian geological map, marking a meaningful milestone in the nation’s scientific journey. Several prominent Kerala landmarks, including its largest river, a major fort, a popular beach, and two towns linked with India’s space history, now lend their names to craters, plains, and valleys on Mars. Although these […]

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has recently drawn significant global attention, sparking both fascination and debate among scientists and the general public. As it travels through our Solar System, a key question has emerged: is this observation purely scientific, or is it part of a formal, coordinated planetary-defence exercise? Despite involvement from international organisations, confusion has […]
