You will begin to realise why this exercise is called the Dickens Pattern with reference to the ghost showing Scrooge some different futures as you notice that the idea of this exercise is to hypnotize yourself to be aware of two very real possibilities for your future. Two distinct pathways that you could take for […]
NASA's Perseverance rover has captured a rare astronomical event in which the Martian moon Phobos passed in front of the Sun, creating a visual reminiscent of a "googly eye." This event, observed from the Jezero Crater, provided insights into the dynamics of Mars' moons. Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons, obscured the Sun's disc […]
South Korea’s Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA) is collaborating with NASA to send a solar coronagraph named CODEX to the International Space Station (ISS). Scheduled for launch aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, CODEX aims to observe the sun's corona and solar wind, providing vital data for understanding solar weather. This mission is part of a broader […]
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, a joint mission by NASA and France’s CNES, has observed a significant tsunami event in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord. Triggered by a massive rockslide in September 2023, the tsunami lasted for nine days and generated seismic signals recorded globally. The satellite's advanced radar technology enabled researchers...
The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission is en route to India for a launch scheduled for December. This pioneering project involves two satellites designed to create artificial solar eclipses, allowing for extensive observation of the Sun’s corona. The spacecraft, developed with contributions from various European partners, is poised to offer unprecedented insi...
On 29 September 2024, Earth briefly welcomed asteroid 2024 PT5 as a second moon. Discovered by NASA's ATLAS, this small asteroid will exit Earth's orbit by mid-November 2024. Its fleeting presence offers astronomers valuable insights into tracking mini-moons and potential asteroid threats. As scientists explore these transient companions, they uncover opportunities fo...
Recent research from the University of Bergen has uncovered a fascinating survival mechanism in comb jellies (Mnemiopsis leidyi), demonstrating their ability to revert from adult to juvenile form in response to environmental stressors. This groundbreaking discovery challenges previous understandings of their life cycle and regeneration capabilities. By examining how t...
NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes have captured the breathtaking merger of galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207, located 80 million light-years away. This captivating process, described as a “blood-soaked” cosmic dance, showcases the ongoing star formation occurring between the galaxies as they interact. With an impressive rate of star birth and multiple supernovas...
A new study proposes that black holes could hold the key to dark energy, which fuels the accelerating expansion of the universe. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), astronomers observed a possible correlation between the growth of black holes and an increase in dark energy. The study's co-authors, Gregory Tarlé and Duncan Farrah, highlight […]
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implanted into the […]
A recent study shows that children who experienced sugar rationing during WWII were less likely to develop diabetes and hypertension later in life. Conducted by researchers at the University of Southern California, the findings suggest that sugar restriction during early developmental years can have significant long-term health benefits. The study reinforces current d...
