Scientists have mapped Earth’s vast underground fungal network, revealing it is so extensive that, if stretched into a single line, it could reach other star systems and span a significant portion of the Milky Way. The study, published in Science, focused on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi—microscopic organisms that form a hidden framework in soil. These fungi […]
Toward the end of June, Earth is expected to have a close encounter with asteroid 152637, also known as 1997 NC1, which will make its nearest approach in more than 400 years on June 27. The asteroid will pass about 2.56 million kilometers from Earth—a distance astronomers consider close. Reports from IFL Science suggest this

A new detector-based approach explains how gravitational waves can be measured in a universe that is constantly changing. Imagine trying to measure ripples on a pond while the pond itself is slowly changing shape. That is the difficulty scientists face when studying gravitational waves not as isolated signals from colliding black holes, but as part
In 2001, British electrical engineer Roger Shawyer unveiled the EmDrive, often dubbed the “impossible drive.” The device gained attention because Shawyer claimed it could generate thrust without using any propellant. If accurate, it would function as a reactionless drive—seemingly moving forward without expelling anything in the opposite direction. Such a concept directly challenges the law

NASA unveiled a new Perseverance rover selfie from its Mars exploration since 2021. The image highlights part of the Martian landscape inside the ancient Jezero Crater, featuring rocky terrain and towering cliffs. NASA said the photo was taken on March 11, marking Perseverance’s 1,797th day on Mars. Perseverance Reaches Jezero’s Western Edge Scientists noted that
The Perseverance rover captured a new selfie revealing the Martian surface Read More »
Scientists have found that comet 3I/ATLAS, which drew global scientific interest in 2025, is more than 10 billion years old and may preserve clues about the galaxy’s early history. The discovery comes from a study published in Nature Astronomy in late April. Rare Interstellar Visitor Passes Near Earth Researchers say the comet formed in a
Scientists say comet 3I/ATLAS may reveal how the galaxy formed Read More »
Fire is one of the most serious concerns for upcoming crewed space missions. Scientists from NASA Glenn Research Center, Johnson Space Center, and Case Western Reserve University have outlined an experiment to study how materials burn on the Moon, where fire is expected to behave differently than on Earth. On Earth, gravity makes hot gases
NASA has released a fresh collection of images taken by the Orion capsule during the Artemis II mission. Captured on April 6, 2026, these photos represent a key point in the journey—the sixth day of flight—when the crew not only passed over the far side of the Moon but also set a new benchmark for

After a landmark lunar flyby that took four astronauts farther from Earth than any humans before, the Artemis II crew has transmitted remarkable images from the Moon’s far side. Earth Over the Lunar Horizon The photos show Earth rising and setting over the Moon, a rare solar eclipse, and detailed views of the far side’s
