How Depression Alters Your Appetite and Boosts Carb Cravings

Space & Environment /

Depression impacts about 280 million people globally and is known to affect eating habits. A recent study from researchers at University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and University Hospital Tübingen reveals that while people with depression often experience a reduced appetite, they tend to crave carbohydrate-rich foods. The study, published in Psychological Medicine, […]

Chance of a Tunguska-Level Impact in 2032 Has Now Doubled

Space & Environment /

At the end of 2024, astronomers spotted a new asteroid in the night sky. It was designated 2024 YR4—”Y” for its December discovery, “R4” as the 117th rock found in late December, and “2024” marking the year of detection. Once identified, astronomers began tracking its position to refine its orbit. Initial calculations suggested a 1%

A Mysterious Cosmic Explosion May Have Been Detected

Space & Environment /

A mysterious cosmic explosion has left astronomers baffled, presenting either an incredibly rare cosmic alignment or an entirely new phenomenon. The event, labeled EP240408a, was first detected on April 8, 2024, by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope. Initially, it resembled a typical gamma-ray burst, known for its bright X-ray emissions. However, follow-up observations

Scientists Confirm: The Pandemic Had No Impact on the Moon

Space & Environment /

Can a pandemic change the Moon’s temperature? A 2024 study suggested global lockdowns reduced Earth’s heat radiation, cooling the Moon. But new research says otherwise. The original idea: As businesses shut down in 2020 and people stayed home, carbon emissions dropped, lowering terrestrial radiation—the heat Earth emits and the Moon absorbs. Scientists noted a dip

First-Ever Imaged Supermassive Black Hole Reveals Stunning Evolution in New Photos

Space & Environment /

To the casual observer, the Sun appears constant and unchanging. In reality, it is a turbulent sphere of seething plasma, where electrically charged gas is in constant motion, influenced by the Sun’s magnetic field. Understanding and predicting this chaotic activity remains one of the greatest challenges for modern solar physicists. One of the most unpredictable

NASA Reveals a Secret Realm of Supermassive Black Holes

Space & Environment /

Using multiple NASA telescopes, scientists have conducted a groundbreaking survey to detect both visible and hidden supermassive black holes—colossal objects billions of times more massive than the Sun. Nearly every large galaxy is thought to harbor one at its core, yet directly counting them is impossible. Instead, astronomers analyze smaller samples to estimate their overall

Watch Live as NASA Astronauts Gather Microbe Samples During a Spacewalk

Space & Environment /

On January 30, astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore will embark on a 6.5-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS). One key objective is collecting surface samples to study microbial presence on the station’s exterior. This “surface swab” is part of the ISS External Microorganisms project, which explores how microbes travel to space with

Unveiling the Mysteries of Hot Jupiters: WASP-132 Defies Planetary System Norms

Space & Environment /

Hot Jupiters, once believed to orbit their stars alone, were thought to consume or eject nearby planets during their inward migration. However, recent findings have challenged this notion. A study from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with NCCR PlanetS, the Universities of Bern (UNIBE) and Zurich (UZH), and international institutions, uncovers a fascinating
