Oxygen Production Discovered in Deep-Sea Metal Nodules, Researchers Investigate
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the deep ocean, where oxygen is being produced by metal nodules found on the seafloor. This surprising process, which occurs in total darkness, challenges the long-held belief that oxygen is only generated through sunlight and photosynthesis. The research team, led by Prof Andrew Sweetman from the ...

NASA's TESS Discovers Fastest Disintegrating Planet Ever Seen: What You Need to Know
NASA’s TESS has observed the closest and fastest disintegrating planet, BD+05 4868 Ab, located 141 light-years away. The planet loses a moon’s mass every million years as it is bombarded by its host star. Scientists are examining its massive dust trails, offering rare insights into the composition of terrestrial exoplanets. Researchers from MIT...

Hubble’s Detailed Andromeda Galaxy Mosaic Sheds Light on Its Past and Evolution
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has produced a massive photomosaic of the Andromeda galaxy, revealing more than 200 million stars. The study offers fresh insights into Andromeda’s evolutionary history, which includes mergers with smaller galaxies. This breakthrough provides a clearer picture of the galaxy's structure and the processes that shaped...

Study Finds Coronal Loop Flickers Could Predict Solar Flares Hours in Advance
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has revealed a potential breakthrough in predicting solar flares. Scientists observed brightness fluctuations in coronal loops—plasma structures in the Sun's atmosphere—that intensify hours before solar flares occur. This discovery, with a prediction accuracy of 60–80%, may provide 2–6 hours of advance warn...

Two Private Lunar Landers Launch Aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 for Moon Missions
Marking a milestone in space exploration, two private lunar landers, Blue Ghost by Firefly Aerospace and Resilience by ispace, were launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on January 15. Blue Ghost, under NASA's CLPS program, will study lunar regolith and environmental elements, landing in Mare Crisium. Resilienc...

Webb Telescope Tracks Formation and Expansion of Carbon-Rich Dust Shells in Star System
As per the latest report by NASA, the system consists of two stars in an elongated orbit. When these stars come closest, their stellar winds collide, compressing material and forming carbon-rich dust. As reported in an official press release by NASA, Emma Lieb, a doctoral student at the University of Denver and the study's lead author, noted that t...

Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

ESA Uses Solar Orbiter to Turn Solar Flares into Sound, Offering New Insights
The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with NASA, has used data from the Solar Orbiter mission to convert solar flares into audible sound. By mapping solar flare data into blue circles and pairing them with tones, a new way to experience solar activity has been created. This process is linked to the sun’s 11-year solar cycle, with curr...

AI Enhances Northern Lights Classification and Geomagnetic Storm Forecasting
A breakthrough in auroral research, powered by artificial intelligence, has allowed scientists to classify over 700 million auroral images. This effort, using NASA's THEMIS dataset, will significantly enhance the prediction of geomagnetic storms, which can disrupt Earth's communication and security systems. Led by the University of New Hampshire, t...

What Time Is NASA's Parker Solar Probe Closest Sun Flyby on Christmas Eve?
On Dec. 24 at 6:53 a.m. EST, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will achieve its closest flyby of the Sun at 3.8 million miles. The mission, part of a seven-year study, aims to uncover the mysteries of the Sun’s corona and solar wind. Travelling at 430,000 mph, the spacecraft is protected by a heat shield designed to withstand extreme temperatures. Upda...
