Hubble Space Telescope Captures Rare Edge-On View of a Spiral Galaxy Located Millions of Light-Years Away
NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured an edge-on view of spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located around 150 million light-years away. Displaying its prominent dust lanes and unique bulge, this galaxy image highlights regions of active star formation. Captured in 2000 and 2023, the composite image uses various light wavelengths to detail the str...

Evidence of Hot Water on Mars Found in Ancient Meteorite From Early Days of Solar System
Evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars has been found in a 4.45-billion-year-old zircon grain from the NWA7034 meteorite. The findings, detailed in Science Advances, reveal that hydrothermal systems were active on Mars during the Pre-Noachian period. Researchers suggest these systems, essential for life on Earth, could have made Mars habita...

Moon Rocks Brought From the Far Side Confirm Ancient Volcanic Activity
Researchers analysing lunar samples from China’s Chang’e-6 mission have uncovered evidence of ancient volcanic activity on the Moon’s far side. The mission, which returned nearly two kilograms of lunar soil in June, landed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, one of the Moon’s oldest craters. Studies published in Science and Nature revealed volc...

Ancient Tajikistan Rock Shelter Sheds Light on 130,000-Year-Old Human Migration
A newly discovered rock shelter in Tajikistan’s Zeravshan Valley shows evidence of repeated human occupation over 130,000 years. The site contains artifacts from Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Homo sapiens, suggesting it may have been a migration hub. Archaeologists believe the Inner Asian Mountain Corridor (IAMC) in Central Asia served as a migra...

17,000-Year-Old DNA of Ice Age Infant Reveals Dark Skin, Blue Eyes
Analysis of a 17,000-year-old infant’s remains from southern Italy sheds light on Ice Age ancestry and health. The infant, found in a Puglian cave, was likely around a year old at death and had distinctive traits—brown skin, blue eyes, and curly dark hair. His genome links him to Europe’s Villabruna lineage, suggesting their presence in south...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...
