Scientists have decoded the mystery behind the high temperature of solar wind. When the solar wind reaches Earth, it is much hotter. Scientists have for long wondered why the wind is hot when it should cool down as it approaches Earth. Questions have been raised about why solar wind does not cool down fastly as […]

Scientists are doing experiments to grow plants and harvest food in space. Any breakthrough in this could redefine the human’s approach to explore space, planets, and other celestial bodies. Food is one of the foremost concerns when space agencies plan a crewed mission. Astronauts for now have to carry food when they travel. They carry […]

After several delays, Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin finally has a date for its first commercial passenger mission.

In a new study, scientists from the University of Oslo have discovered that one side of the earth’s interior has been losing its temperature much faster than the other side. They have created a model, which shows the loss of heat on the planet earth in the last 400 million years. The findings of the […]

SpaceX once again failed to safely land its Starship prototype after a successful flight. SpaceX said that the SN10 Starship prototype managed to land at the designated site after carrying out a high-altitude test flight.

Astronomers have claimed to discover three new planets. These planets are said to be orbiting a younger version of the solar system’s Sun. The Sun-like star is called TOI 451. The trio’s size is larger than Earth’s. The system is currently residing in the Pisces-Eridanus stellar stream. The system is a collection of stars. It […]

In a new study, scientists have revealed that massive mega-tooth sharks or megalodons, which have been guarding the oceans in the world more than three million years ago, might have given birth to infants bigger than adult humans might. While scanning through the X-rays of the vertebra of a fossilized megalodon, scientists have come up […]

Research on Greenland’s ice sheets has shown that glaciers retreated in around every sector of the island, at the same time; these glaciers are going through physical changes. Experts have said that some physical changes are leading to the deflection of freshwater rivers under the ice sheets. The study has been led by Twila Moon […]

Kyoto University in Japan is going to team up with a Japanese Forestry firm to make wooden satellites into orbit by 2023. These wooden satellites will be used to reduce space junk. The Japanese astronaut Takao Doi, has said that the benefit of a wooden satellite is that even if it falls out of orbit, […]

An astronaut from NASA, Kate Rubins has harvested radishes in space claiming that producing foods in microgravity is possible. The new development has opened new prospects for sustained long-term missions to the moon and Mars in the future. Astronomers have said that radishes have been harvested in the Advanced Planned Habitat (APH) onboard the International […]

The United States is all set for a nuclear reactor on Moon. The government has given its nod to NASA to go ahead with the fission surface power project. The goal is to test a fission power system on the lunar surface by 2027. The system splits uranium atoms inside a nuclear reactor. It generates […]

Scientists have been studying a fragment of meteorite, which has been gathered after an asteroid near-crash with Earth in 2008. In the new analysis, they have shown that the parent asteroid might have been quite huge. The findings of the study show that it may have been a water holding large asteroid with a different […]

Many experts have found that something strange is happening at the closest star to the sun. Scientists have discovered that an inexplicable radio signal is coming from Proxima Centauri.
