Recent studies reveal that…
A potentially catastrophic asteroid, dubbed a “city killer”, is on a collision course with the Moon, and scientists warn the impact could have dangerous ripple effects for Earth. The asteroid, named 2024 YR4, no longer poses a direct threat to our planet, but NASA has identified a 4.3% chance of it striking the lunar surface…
NASA’s GOLD mission has made a discovery that is changing how scientists understand Earth’s upper atmosphere. For the first time ever, GOLD has seen X-shaped patterns in the ionosphere—a layer of charged particles that stretches from about 50 to 400 miles above Earth’s surface. These X-shaped structures were found during calm space weather, which is…
In a bold move that blends science fiction ambition with strategic foresight, China has launched a high-stakes mission to drill into the Earth’s crust beneath the ocean. Using its advanced deep-sea drilling vessel Meng Xiang (meaning “Dream”), China aims to penetrate the Mohorovicic discontinuity — or Moho — the boundary between the crust and mantle….
Image source: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA has captured a breathtaking image of Arsia Mons, one of Mars’ most massive volcanoes, towering nearly twice the height of any mountain on Earth. Captured at dawn by the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter, the photograph shows the volcano piercing through a layer of early morning haze, offering a…
Visualise a heartbeat deep down under the Earth; soft, periodic, and undetectable to the human eye. Every 26 seconds, a faint seismic pulse emanates from deep within the Earth’s crust. It does not level cities or lead to harm, but these vibrations continue unabated, exciting seismologists and geophysicists around the world.The Earth’s 26-second pulse may…
In 2024 alone, there were 261 space launch attempts globally, signaling increased traffic in Earth’s orbit and growing congestion in space. Source link
Gold In Earth Core: सोना उगलने वाली है धरती, कोर में छिपा है गोल्ड ही गोल्ड, वैज्ञानिकों ने कर डाली बड़ी खोज Source link
Approximately 3,000 kilometres deep beneath the Earth’s crust is a hot, dynamic core that was long assumed to be geochemically isolated from the remainder of the planet. However, a breakthrough new research paper has discovered compelling evidence that the Earth’s core is far from as isolated as previously believed. Rather, it seems to be gradually…
Image: University of Toronto A groundbreaking study has uncovered staggering reserve of natural hydrogen hidden deep within the Earth’s continental crust, a potential energy jackpot that could power humanity for the next 170,000 years. Researchers from the University of Oxford, Durham University, and the University of Toronto have found that this naturally occurring hydrogen could…
