Interstellar Object Could Have Shifted Trajectories of Four Planets, New Research Shows
A recent study suggests that an interstellar object, possibly as massive as eight times Jupiter, may have passed through the solar system billions of years ago, significantly altering the orbits of its outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Using computer simulations, researchers found that in about 1% of the scenarios, such a close ...

Scientists Uncover 'Sunken Worlds' Deep in Earth’s Mantle, Defying Geological Expectations
A new study has uncovered unusual anomalies deep within Earth's mantle, resembling sunken crustal slabs in unexpected locations. Using advanced full-waveform inversion, scientists were able to map these structures, revealing hidden patterns that challenge current geological understanding. These anomalies were discovered far from tectonic activity z...

Venus Never Had Oceans or Conditions to Support Life, New Study Finds
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have concluded that Venus likely never had oceans or conditions to support life. Their study, published in Nature Astronomy, analysed atmospheric chemistry and volcanic activity. They found that volcanic gases lacked significant steam, indicating the planet's interior has always been dry. This research ha...

Hubble Telescope Finds Unexpectedly Hot Accretion Disk in FU Orionis
Hubble Space Telescope’s recent observations of FU Orionis have revealed surprising new details about the star’s accretion disk. The study found that the disk’s inner edge reaches temperatures as high as 16,000K, nearly three times hotter than the Sun’s surface. This discovery challenges existing models of stellar accretion, which had predi...

Did Earth Once Freeze Completely? New Evidence Found in Colorado Rocks
Recent research in Colorado’s Pikes Peak has uncovered crucial evidence supporting the Snowball Earth hypothesis. The discovery of Tava sandstone formations suggests that Earth experienced a global ice sheet about 700 million years ago. Using advanced radiometric dating, researchers pinpointed the formation of these sandstones to between 690 and ...

China's Zhurong Rover Helps Find Evidence of Potential Ancient Shoreline on Mars
China's Zhurong rover has found what might be the shoreline of an ancient Martian ocean, offering fresh support for theories that Mars once had vast bodies of water. Studying images and radar data from Utopia Planitia, the largest impact basin on Mars, scientists identified geological features that resemble coastlines, including pitted cones, troug...

Voyager 2's Historic Flyby of Uranus Exposes Rare Magnetic Distortion
A new analysis of Voyager 2’s flyby of Uranus in 1986 reveals a unique magnetic anomaly caused by a rare solar wind event. Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech found that the solar wind’s impact on Uranus’s magnetosphere was a unique occurrence, influencing measurements of the planet’s magnetic field. The study also ...

Neptunian Ridge Discovery: Scientists Map New Planet Zone in Space
A groundbreaking study by University of Warwick scientists has revealed a new region in space called the Neptunian Ridge. This discovery shows how planets move between harsh desert zones where atmospheres are stripped away and safer savannah regions where they can survive. The research provides crucial insights into planetary migration and evolutio...

New Research Investigates Whether TRAPPIST-1 Planets Are Sending Radio Signals
A team of astronomers from Penn State and the SETI Institute has conducted a significant study on the TRAPPIST-1 star system, aiming to detect possible radio signals between its planets. Over 28 hours, they explored for indications of communication similar to those we use on Earth. Although no signals were found, the research highlighted promising ...

NASA's Curiosity Rover Provides Insights into Mars' Uninhabitable Climate
NASA's Curiosity rover is providing new insights into how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet, abundant in liquid water, to the inhospitable landscape seen today. Researchers discovered that carbon-rich minerals found in Gale Crater indicate extreme evaporation and suggest the planet's climate could support only transient liquid wa...

Global Warming Of 3 Degrees May Cost World 10% Of GDP: Study
Warming of the planet by 3 degrees Celsius may cost the world up to 10 per cent of its GDP, a new research has found. It also found that poorer, tropical countries could see the worst effects - up to 17% GDP loss.

David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan to Play Clark Kent and Lois Lane in Superman: Legacy
Superman: Legacy has found its new Superman and Lois Lane. As per the Hollywood Reporter, David Corenswet (Pearl) has been set to play Clark Kent, while Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) stars as Daily Planet’s investigative journalist Lois Lane in the upcoming James Gunn film. They were among the six selected actors to screen test for...
