[ad_1] Artist’s impression of a magnetarIllustration: ESO / L. Calçada. Astronomers have just seen an extremely bright explosion of radio waves emanating from our own galaxy. Surprising observation could help us understand the mystery behind these enigmatic broadcasts, known as fast radio bursts. Telescopes around the world share data on …

[ad_1] Harnessing the mother load of the sun’s power is almost within our grasp. The sun, our main source of energy, bathes our Blue Planet with more solar energy than we can reasonably expect to use. Every hour, the sun sends us 430 quintillion joules of energy, more than the …

[ad_1] An international team of astronomers has managed to capture some extraordinarily rare images of planetary systems that are born hundreds of light years away. While we’ve seen “protoplanetary disk” images before, we’ve never seen the process captured in such detail. Kluska et al. “In [earlier] Images, the regions near …

[ad_1] A pair of zoom cameras will help scientists and mobile drivers with high-resolution color images. When launched this summer, NASA’s Perseverance rover will have the most advanced pair of “eyes” ever to be sent to the surface of the red planet – its Mastcam-Z instrument includes a next-generation zoom …

Researchers at the University of Leeds have reconstructed how bacteria build their outer, defensive wall, in essence, …

[ad_1] A Milky Way magnetar named SGR 1935 + 2154 may have contributed enormously to solving the mystery of the powerful deep space radio signals that have bothered astronomers for years. On April 28, 2020, the dead star, which is only 30,000 light-years away, was recorded by radio observatories around …

[ad_1] NASA asked. 56,000 votes decided. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the 20th anniversary of NASA’s Earth Observatory, the space agency invited the public to vote on the best images that capture our beautiful planet in the Earth Observatory collection.
