What mission could detect oceans at Uranus’ moons?

Exploration of ocean worlds has become a hot topic of late, primarily due to their role as a potential harbour for alien life. Moons that have confirmed subsurface oceans garner much of the attention, such as Enceladus and Europa. But they may not be the only ones. Uranus’ larger moons—Miranda, Ariel and Umbriel could potentially… Continue reading What mission could detect oceans at Uranus’ moons?

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER A NEW EXOPLANET WITH A RIPE ATMOSPHERE

An international group of collaborators, including scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and The University of New Mexico, have discovered a new, temperate sub-Neptune sized exoplanet with a 24-day orbital period orbiting a nearby M dwarf star. The recent discovery offers exciting research opportunities thanks to the planet’s substantial atmosphere, small star, and how fast… Continue reading SCIENTISTS DISCOVER A NEW EXOPLANET WITH A RIPE ATMOSPHERE

FOR THE FIRST TIME, ASTRONOMERS HAVE OBSERVED ALFVEN WAVES IN THE PHOTOSPHERE OF THE SUN

As we all know, the Sun is a giant ball of plasma, and like any plasma, it should support Alfven waves.  Alfven waves are waves in a plasma where the ions move in response to tension from a magnetic field. Scientists predicted it 50 years ago until now we had not been able to see them. … Continue reading FOR THE FIRST TIME, ASTRONOMERS HAVE OBSERVED ALFVEN WAVES IN THE PHOTOSPHERE OF THE SUN

3D Printing Future Of Building Home

Imagine if your home could be built in days. 3D printing has the potential to build your house from the ground up faster and for less money than a conventional home which means amongst other things, no more smoothing concrete by hand. The technology can physically produce a product of almost any shape based on… Continue reading 3D Printing Future Of Building Home

Neuralink Let’s Become Cyborgs

Many experts believe that even at the early stage of True AI, humans will be left behind at some specific task from AI. And I personally believe that AI will surpass us at some point, which is a threat to humanity. Neuralink is Elon Musk‘s answer to the threat artificial intelligence poses to the human… Continue reading Neuralink Let’s Become Cyborgs

SUPERVOLCANO: KNOW ALL ABOUT AN EXTINCTION LEVEL THREAT TO HUMAN RACE

A supervolcano is a large volcano that has had an eruption with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 8, the largest recorded value on the index. This means the volume of deposits for that eruption is greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers

A supervolcano is capable of eruptions thousands of times larger than normal outpouring that has had an eruption with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 8, the largest recorded value on the index.

SOME PROGRESS AT LAST! MARS INSIGHT’S MOLE IS NOW UNDERGROUND

After several assists from InSight Lander’s arm, the mole appears to be underground. It’s been a real challenge troubleshooting for NASA & DLR from millions of miles away. We still need to see if the mole can dig on its own. There was no way to predict the duracrust and what it meant for the Mole. The future is still uncertain.

GEMINI GETS LUCKY AND TAKES A DEEP DIVE INTO JUPITER’S CLOUDS

Researchers using a technique known as “lucky imaging” with the Gemini North telescope on Hawaii’s Maunakea have collected some of the highest resolution images of Jupiter ever obtained from the ground. These images are part of a multi-year joint observing program with the Hubble Space Telescope in support of NASA’s Juno mission. The Gemini images, when combined with the Hubble and Juno observations, reveal that lightning strikes, and some of the largest storm systems that create them, are formed in and around large convective cells over deep clouds of water ice and liquid. The new observations also confirm that dark spots in the famous Great Red Spot are actually gaps in the cloud cover and not due to cloud colour variations.

WHAT IS FRACKING? FACTS ABOUT FRACKING

Hydraulic fracturing, Also Known As Fracking, is a Well stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of ‘fracking fluid’ (primarily water, containing sand or other proppants suspended with the aid of thickening agents) into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely. When the hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, small grains of hydraulic fracturing proppants (either sand or aluminium oxide) hold the fractures op

NASA’s NEIL GEHRELS SWIFT OBSERVATORY TRACKS WATER LOSS FROM INTERSTELLAR COMET 2I/BORISOV

Astronomers using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have tracked water loss from 2I/Borisov, the first known interstellar comet to visit our Solar System, as it approached and rounded the Sun. Their findings were published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
