NASA’s Curiosity rover is gearing up for a fresh phase of exploration on Mars, targeting a striking patch of surface features resembling spiderwebs. These structures, referred to as “boxwork deposits,” extend over an area of 10 to 20 kilometres and are believed to hold clues about the Red Planet’s ancient…
A study published in the American Journal of Primatology has provided new insights into the emergence of bipedalism in human ancestors. Using advanced 3D scanning techniques, researchers analysed fossil bones to investigate how early hominins moved, focusing on the transition from tree-dwelling locomotion to upright walking. The research was led by…
Using advanced infrared imaging, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured unprecedented details of the supermassive star cluster Westerlund 1, located around 12,000 light-years from Earth. The findings, released by the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS), provide critical insights into the cluster’s stellar composition and formation…
Scientists have uncovered evidence of an immense solar storm that struck Earth around 664–663 BCE in a study published in Communications Earth & Environment. According to researchers from the University of Arizona, including dendrochronologist Dr Irina Panyushkina and radiocarbon expert Dr Timothy Jull, the “Miyake Event” left traces in ancient…
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced the development of the Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS), a significant project aimed at enhancing India’s presence in space exploration. Weighing approximately 52 tonnes, the space station will initially host three astronauts as per a report, with a future plan to expand its…
NASA has successfully restored communications with Voyager 1, the farthest spacecraft from Earth, following a disruption in October. Launched in September 1977, the spacecraft was unresponsive due to a fault triggered by low power levels, causing it to switch to a transmitter NASA’s Deep Space Network could not detect. The restoration,…
Chinese scientists are reportedly racing against time to protect potatoes, a vital global food crop, from the adverse effects of climate change. Research conducted under the International Potato Center (CIP) in Beijing is said to have revealed alarming reductions in potato yields when exposed to higher temperatures. Potatoes grown in…
A recent study by researchers at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment has examined the water quality effects of a historic lithium mine in North Carolina, specifically near Kings Mountain. Conducted by a team led by Avner Vengosh, a Distinguished Professor of Environmental Quality, the study highlights the presence…
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has deployed its advanced satellite technology to closely monitor Cyclone Fengal as it nears the Tamil Nadu coast. The monitoring, which began on November 23, involves critical data collection using the EOS-06 Scatterometer, a key instrument of the Oceansat-3 mission, and the geostationary INSAT-3DR…
A gas giant exoplanet, estimated to be just 3 million years old, has been identified by researchers as one of the youngest planets ever observed. The planet, named TIDYE-1b, orbits a protostar located in the Taurus molecular cloud approximately 520 light-years from Earth. Scientists have described this discovery as a…
