[ad_1] Determining how much Earth has taken root in Earth's history has been a huge challenge for scientists over the years. It can be difficult to find fossils dating back tens of millions of years, but when does the timeline extend over several billion years? Well, let's just say it's exponentially more difficult. Researchers at … Read more
[ad_1] It is not uncommon for astronauts aboard the International Space Station to witness a rocket launch from Earth to the stars. But a recent image taken by an American astronaut is perhaps the most beautiful we have ever seen. NASA astronaut Christina Koch tweeted yesterday (25 September) the image she had captured from a … Read more
[ad_1] Our Sun regularly spits up violent clouds of gas that pass through space at unimaginable speed. Such coronal mass ejections (CMEs) occur when the magnetic field of the Sun becomes entangled and when straightening, swarms of charged particles called superheated plasma are released. And if they are fired at exactly the right angle to … Read more

[ad_1] The asteroid, christened by NASA Asteroid 2006 QV89, flies over the Earth on a near approach trajectory. NASA predicts that space rock will come closer to Earth on Monday morning, Friday, September 27, early. The asteroid, meanwhile, will arrive around 4:45 (Paris time). NASA then announced that the asteroid would fly at a speed … Read more

[ad_1] NASA has released a visualization of what a black hole might look like, and it's fascinating to watch. The visualization simulates how the dense gravity of a black hole would distort our view, producing a distorted image resembling a reflection in a carnival mirror. In more scientific terms, NASA says it "simulates the appearance … Read more
