Many of us will never understand the fact that scientists can actually look back in time. The power of telescopes allows us to study phenomena that happened billions of years ago, and even peer into the dawn of creation itself. Now astrophysicists have solved a great mystery at the heart of our universe’s birth, when...

New evidence from a NASA telescope suggests that the black hole Sagittarius A* woke up about 200 years ago. (NASA) The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy “woke up” 200 years ago and swallowed space debris around it. Sagittarius A*, located at the center of the Milky Way, is more...

Home Photos 5 huge asteroids are approaching Earth, NASA warns According to NASA, 5 asteroids are approaching Earth. NASA telescopes provided insight into their approach, including speed, dimensions, and more. Asteroid 2023 MU2 – The asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth on June 25. According to NASA, the asteroid is 16 feet wide....

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c, despite being the same size as Venus and receiving similar radiation, does not have a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, making it unlikely to be a Venus analog. The planet, which has the coolest measured temperature for a rocky exoplanet, might have formed with minimal...

MIT researchers have discovered that new photovoltaic nanoparticles can emit streams of identical photons, potentially paving the way for new quantum computing technologies and quantum teleportation devices. The device emits a stream of single photons and could provide the basis for optical quantum computers. Using new materials that have been widely studied as potential new...

In 1998, after a day of lectures at a conference on consciousness, a neuroscientist Christopher Koch (Allen Institute) and philosopher David Chalmers make a bet They were in a “smoky bar in Bremen”, reported Per Snaprud, “and they still had more to say. After a few drinks, Koch proposed a bet. He bet a case...

Measuring cosmic distances is challenging, and astronomers rely on a variety of methods and tools to do so—collectively referred to as cosmic distance scales. One particularly important tool is Supernova type Ia, which occur in binary systems where a star (a white dwarf) absorbs matter from a companion (often a red giant) until it reaches...

It feels like there are mind-blowing science stories popping up every other day lately, all of which have blown our tiny minds. First, a terrifying black hole was discovered pointing straight at us, then there was the discovery of a huge hole in the sun and a missing continent discovered after disappearing for 375 years....

The human race has pumped a ton of Earth’s water over the years, and apparently we’ve pumped so much that it’s moved the poles. According to ScienceAlert.comwe pumped so much groundwater between 1993 and 2010 that the poles migrated 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) eastward. These findings were published in an analysis led by geophysicist Ki-Weon...
