Astronaut in space. Credit: Unsplash.In the realm beyond Earth, the absence of gravity poses a significant hazard to the well-being of astronauts, particularly during extended missions. Gaining insights into the response of the human body to the space environment is essential for long-term space exploration and the development of countermeasures to safeguard astronaut health.Previous...
Comparison between the classical model of rotation of Mars and the one proposed in this study. Temporal evolution of the 30-months solutions for the FCN period (a), the core amplification factor (b), and the precession rate (c), with the classical spin model (orange) and with the model with corrections on the rotation rate for the post-dust-storm period...

These engineers suggest that tractor beams, often seen in popular franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars, could soon become a reality....
The James Webb Space Telescope’s JADES program is providing unprecedented insights into the early universe, discovering hundreds of ancient galaxies, and unveiling complex patterns of star formation.

Artist impression of the Euclid mission in space. The spacecraft is white and gold and consists of three main elements: a flat sunshield, a large cylinder where the light from space will enter, and a 'boxy' bottom containing the instruments. The spacecraft is shown half in the shadow, because the sunshield will always be...
This artist’s impression depicts a star being torn apart by an intermediate-mass black hole, surrounded by an accretion disk. Image credit: Hubble / NASA / ESA / M. Kornmesser.According to space experts, there is a possibility of the existence of intermediate-mass black holes. These are black holes that can consume some of the stray...

According to recent research, irregularities in the cooling process of molten iron in the Earth's core are responsible for variations in the planet's magnetic field.The swirling molten iron in the Earth's core controls the magnetic field /Credit: preparaenem.comWhy do satellite operations and compass readings experience interference that results in inaccurate directions not aligned with...
This system consists of a pair of galaxies, dubbed IC 694 and NGC 3690, which made a close pass some 700 million years ago. As a result of this interaction, the system underwent a fierce burst of star formation. In the last fifteen years or so six supernovae have popped off in the outer...
