SWOT Satellite Reveals Key Insights on Ohio River Basin Lakes and Reservoirs
The SWOT satellite, a joint NASA-CNES mission, has provided new insights into the Ohio River Basin’s lakes, reservoirs, and water movement. Observations show water level changes between 1,600 feet and 330 feet, offering hydrologists critical insights into river discharge and freshwater availability. The SWOT satellite captures comprehensive water...

Jupiter’s Moon Io Shows No Magma Ocean as New Findings Explain Volcanic Eruptions
NASA's latest findings indicate that Jupiter's volcanic moon Io does not have a global magma ocean beneath its surface, debunking previous theories. This conclusion comes from analysis of data from NASA's Juno spacecraft and archival observations from the Galileo mission. The study suggests that Io's interior is more solid than expected, with volca...

Hubble Telescope Documents 10 Years of Dramatic Changes on Outer Planets
NASA’s Hubble Telescope has tracked atmospheric and seasonal changes on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune over ten years. Key findings include shifts in Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, Saturn’s seasonal phenomena, Uranus’ polar brightness, and Neptune’s storm activity. These insights, part of NASA’s Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) p...

Earth’s Inner Core Might Be Slowing Down and Changing Shape, New Study Reveals
Research suggests Earth’s inner core, a metal sphere within the molten outer core, is slowing its spin and reshaping. Seismic wave analyses from earthquakes reveal discrepancies indicating deformation on the core’s surface or changes in rotation. John Vidale, a geophysicist from the University of Southern California, presented these findings, s...

NASA Investigates Ingenuity’s Last Flight, Explains Why it Crashed on its 72nd Flight
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, initially planned for five flights, completed 72 missions, ending its journey on January 18, 2024. Its final flight encountered navigation challenges over Jezero Crater's featureless terrain, leading to rotor blade damage. Despite being grounded, Ingenuity continues contributing data to Mars research. NASA is now...

Parker Solar Probe to Break Records with Historic Sun Flyby on December 24
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set for a record-breaking approach to the sun on December 24, travelling at 430,000 mph and reaching within 3.8 million miles of the surface. The spacecraft, equipped with advanced heat shields, will navigate solar plasma plumes and potentially an active eruption during this phase of heightened solar activity. This flyb...

Mars Dust Storms May Be Predictable Based on Surface Heating Patterns
A new study suggests warm days on Mars often precede dust storms, with researchers analysing data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The findings show 78% of storms correlate with increased solar heating, particularly in northern regions of the planet. Scientists have developed an algorithm predicting certain storm types with 64% confidence, ...

NASA’s 2024 Solar Eclipse Studies Offer Key Insights on Sun-Earth Interactions
NASA’s April 8, 2024, solar eclipse studies highlight the Sun's effects on Earth’s atmosphere, including corona changes, ionospheric impacts, and atmospheric gravity waves. Data from citizen scientists and research teams deepened the understanding of these interactions, as presented during the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting. Key fi...

Dogs Demonstrate Intentional Communication Using Soundboards, Study Finds
New research from UC San Diego reveals dogs can use soundboards to communicate intentionally, forming two-word combinations like "outside" and "potty" to make specific requests. The study, based on 21 months of data from 152 dogs, shows these behaviours are deliberate rather than random, with potential to transform human-canine relationships. Futur...

Scientists Conclude They Have No Idea Why Universe Is Growing The Way It Is
Scientists cross-checked data from JWT and Hubble and concluded the mismatch in data could only be explained by a new phenomenon.

ISRO’s AstroSat Observes First-Ever Nuclear Explosion in Andromeda Galaxy
Using the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard ISRO’s AstroSat, scientists have identified far-ultraviolet emissions from 42 novae in the Andromeda Galaxy. This marks the first detection of such emissions during their outbursts, offering new insights into the processes of stellar explosions. Four of these novae were observed in real-time a...

Notre Dame Restoration Provides Insights for Scientists: Report
Five years after the Notre Dame fire, studies of salvaged materials reveal insights into medieval climate conditions, historic building techniques, and health risks. Scientists are using innovative methods to decode data from charred wood and stone to paint a clearer picture of France’s history.

Arecibo Observatory Data Helps SETI Uncover Secrets of Pulsar Signals and Cosmic Distortions
Data from the now-collapsed Arecibo Observatory continues to drive major discoveries in space science. Sofia Sheikh and her team from the SETI Institute utilised archived data to investigate the signals of pulsars—dense neutron stars emitting radiation like cosmic lighthouses. Their study focused on how these signals are distorted by interstellar...

Ancient Galaxy Collisions May Explain Formation of Massive Early Star Systems
Research published in Nature reveals that ancient galaxy collisions may have led to the creation of the universe’s largest star systems. Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists studied over 100 galaxies undergoing intense star formation. These collisions are believed to have occurred 8 to 12 billion yea...
