A small group of scientists and engineers have proposed releasing metal nanorods into the atmosphere of Mars to make the planet more habitable for life. The researchers created models that point to aerosols made from materials that are readily available on the Red Planet, such as 9-micrometer long nanorods made from...

Astronomers using data collected by NASAs James Webb Space Telescope have identified an exoplanet as a promising super-Earth and unlike the one JWST spotted earlier this year, it looks like a giant eyeball peering into the Universe. Exoplanet LHS-1140b shows signs of having a global ocean covered in ice, with an area...

PC enthusiasts of a certain age will recall the bad old days before DirectX, when developers who wanted to make use of advanced acceleration hardware in graphics processors had to use a vendor-specific API for it. This meant that your ATI Rage version of Mechwarrior 2 wasn't going to work on your fancy new...

Astronomers have found a key ingredient for life in the outer reaches of the Milky Way galaxy. The discovery challenges our understanding of the origins of the element and potentially extends the galactic habitable zone.
The element that was found in a very unexpected location by a group of astronomers from the...

Using data from NASA's Webb telescope, astronomers have detected a barred spiral galaxy in the early universe they say is a Milky Way twin. Surprisingly, the newly found galaxy, ceers-2112, is believed to have formed only 2 billion years after the Big Bang.
It was believed that it should take around 7 billion years...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected evidence of quartz nanocrystals in a Jupiter-like exoplanet's atmosphere 1,300 light-years from Earth. The first-ever detection of silica particles in an exoplanet's atmosphere was made possible by Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
WASP-17 b, also known as...

Scientists propose that antiglitch/glitch and fast radio bursts (FRBs) might be tied to a tidally captured asteroid by a magnetar. The model the scientists have created indicates an asteroid being tidally captured and disrupted by Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154.
A magnetar is a type of isolated neutron star made...

MIT geologists have developed a new technique that allows scientists to view just how fiercely rivers flowed at one time on Mars and how intensely they currently flow on Saturn's moon Titan. The team achieved this by utilizing satellite observations to estimate the rate at which rivers move fluid and sediment...

A team of astronomers found a startling surprise while searching for the electromagnetic light from a gravitational wave event. Instead, the team found one of the most breathtaking 'switches on' of a black hole ever detected.
The phenomenal event was first detected by Dr. Samantha Oates, an astronomer at the...

A Jupiter-like planet has escaped what should have been certain death at the hands of its sun. Exoplanet 8 UMi b, named Halla, which closely orbits its host star Baekdu, survived a period of murderous stellar transition that would have typically consumed and annihilated close-in planets.
Our very own Sun will one...

NASA's Juno spacecraft captured the green glow of a lightning strike in the midst of a vortex near Jupiter's north pole as it made its 31st close flyby of the planet. The orbital path of Juno will take the spacecraft close to the giant planet's night side, which will provide even more opportunities for the...

A team of astronomers has detected a brown dwarf with a scorching daytime temperature of 8,000 Kelvin (13,940 degrees Fahrenheit). This means this extremely hot object is hotter than our very own Sun, which has temps averaging around 5,500 Kelvin, or approximately 9,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Object WD0032-317B was...

A pair of supermassive black holes, known as a binary black hole system, emitted a flare that is brighter than a trillion stars. The duo is located in galaxy OJ287 and are so close together they appear as one dot in the night sky.
Galaxy OJ287 lies in the direction of the constellation Cancer at approximately 5...

After deciding to delay a mission to send a spacecraft to asteroid Psyche last summer, an independently appointed review board has given NASA and the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) the green light to carry on. NASA and JPL convened the board last summer following the mission team's request to delay the...

Astronomers spotted an intergalactic explosion 10 times brighter than any recorded supernova (exploding star). The event, called AT2021lwx, was first detected in 2020 and is believed to be the largest explosion ever recorded.
The event was at first thought to be unremarkable, due to the fact there was no indication...
