Saturn, with its beautiful rings, has always been a source of fascination for scientists. Recently, researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery – Saturn exhibits a massive, seasonal energy imbalance across its entire globe. This revelation has far-reaching implications for our understanding of weather patterns, climate dynamics on gas giant planets, as well as their long-term

NASA’s Perseverance Rover has recently departed from Mount Washburn and has reached its latest location, Bright Angel. The rover has encountered an unusual type of rock formation, dubbed ‘popcorn rock’ by scientists, which serves as further evidence of the presence of water in the Jezero Crater. This location is crucial for Perseverance’s mission, which revolves

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) has captivated astronomers for centuries, with its massive anti-cyclonic storm rotating counterclockwise. The storm, larger than Earth itself, has wind speeds exceeding 400 km/h (250 mp/h). Observations of the GRS date back to at least the 1600s, with conflicting reports on its formation and longevity. The earliest known observation of

After a lengthy period of transmitting incomprehensible data, Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, is finally back in communication with scientists at NASA. This momentous occasion marks the resumption of normal science operations, allowing all four of the spacecraft’s instruments to collect and transmit valuable data from its interstellar journey. The unexpected hiatus

In the vast expanse of the Milky Way, most stars adhere to predictable and stable orbits around the galactic center. However, there are rare exceptions – hypervelocity stars that defy the norm by hurtling through space at incredible speeds. One such stellar outlier is CWISE J124909+362116.0, also known as J1249+36. This particular star not only

An incident on June 12, CDT, caused a brief panic when audio of a flight surgeon dealing with an emergency on the International Space Station was mistakenly broadcast on the ISS livestream channel. The conversation discussed the need for hyperbaric treatment for an unnamed commander who was experiencing decompression sickness. ISS mission control later clarified

Recently, an unusual event occurred that allowed many more people around the world to witness the northern and southern lights with the naked eye. This phenomenon was triggered by a very strong solar storm, impacting the Earth’s magnetic field. The Sun is currently at the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, leading to more explosive

Astronomers have recently detected a peculiar signal emanating from a neutron star named ASKAP J193505.1+214841.0 (ASKAP J1935+2148), located approximately 15,820 light-years away in the Milky Way. Unlike any signals previously observed, this neutron star exhibits strong pulses, weak pulses, and even periods of no pulsations at all. This bizarre behavior has left scientists puzzled and

SpaceX’s ambitious Starship rocket prototype achieved a significant milestone during its test flight on Thursday – its first-ever splashdown. The spacecraft descended over the Indian Ocean northwest of Australia, with fiery debris flying off, but ultimately holding together and surviving atmospheric reentry. Despite the loss of many tiles and a damaged flap, the Starship successfully
