Massive Solar Flare Closes 2024 With Radio Blackouts and Auroral Possibilities
An X1.1-class solar flare on December 29, 2024, caused strong radio blackouts on Earth, marking another significant event in the increasingly active Solar Cycle 25. Detected by NOAA's GOES-16 satellite, the eruption raises questions about a potential coronal mass ejection, which could amplify auroras during New Year celebrations. While impactful, t...

Chang'e-6 Mission Reveals Significant Reinforcement of Lunar Dynamo
The Chang'e-6 mission has provided crucial insights into the lunar dynamo’s evolution, revealing a surprising magnetic field strength of 5 to 21 microteslas (µT) around 2.8 billion years ago. This challenges previous assumptions that the lunar dynamo weakened after 3 billion years ago. The findings suggest that mechanisms such as a basal magma o...

Arctic Siberia Summers 10 Degree Celsius Warmer in Last Interglacial, New Study Reveals
A new study reveals that Arctic Siberia experienced summer temperatures up to 10 degree Celsius warmer than today during the Last Interglacial period, which occurred approximately 115,000–130,000 years ago. Researchers analysed sediment cores and fossil records from the Dmitry Laptev Strait to reconstruct past environments. The study found signif...

The Moon Might Be Much Older Than Previously Thought, New Study Confirms
However, new findings propose an earlier formation- approximately 4.51 billion years ago with a significant "re-melting" event occurring later.

iPhone 17 Series Rumoured to Get Pixel-Like Rear Camera Design
iPhone 17 series launch may still be some time away, but that hasn’t stopped Apple enthusiasts and leakers from building anticipation for the next-generation phones. Recent posts by Chinese tipsters have uncovered some of the major design changes that the iPhone 17 Pro variant could boast. Apple is said to change the rear camera design of the iP...

Climate Change Causes Decline in Rice Quality Across East Asia, New Study Suggests
A recent study highlights a decline in rice quality across East Asia due to climate change. Using 35 years of data, researchers found that rising nighttime temperatures significantly reduce the head rice rate (HRR), especially in Japan and China. The study also identifies solar radiation, precipitation changes, and vapor pressure as contributing fa...

New Fire-Resilient Dicliptera Polymorpha Discovered in India’s Western Ghats
In a significant botanical breakthrough, scientists from Pune's Agharkar Research Institute have documented Dicliptera polymorpha, a dual-blooming plant thriving in the fire-prone grasslands of the Northern Western Ghats. With blooms triggered by both post-monsoon rains and fires, this species represents a rare adaptation to its unique environment.

iPhone 17 Lineup to Reportedly Feature LTPO Displays With 120Hz Refresh Rate
Apple is expected to introduce its iPhone 17 lineup in the second half of next year. While we are hearing speculations about including a new iPhone 17 Air model in the series, a new report from South Korea suggests that all iPhone 17 models will come with a LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) screen. This would be a significant upgrade fro...

NASA's Voyager 2 Finds Clues of Ancient Ocean on Uranus' Moon Miranda
Recent analysis of images captured by NASA's Voyager 2 has suggested that Miranda, a moon orbiting Uranus, may have once contained a significant ocean beneath its icy exterior. Research led by Tom Nordheim at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory reveals that this ocean could have existed hundreds of millions of years ago, driven by tidal forces...

Limiting Sugar Intake in Early Childhood Reduces Risk of Diabetes and Hypertension, Claims New Study
A recent study shows that children who experienced sugar rationing during WWII were less likely to develop diabetes and hypertension later in life. Conducted by researchers at the University of Southern California, the findings suggest that sugar restriction during early developmental years can have significant long-term health benefits. The study ...

China’s Tiangong Space Station Set for Expansion with New Modules and Upgrades
China's Tiangong space station, operational for nearly two years, is preparing for significant upgrades to expand its capabilities. Plans include modifying the station's structure from a T-shape to a cross shape, allowing for additional modules. The development of the Mengzhou spacecraft, designed for lunar and Tiangong missions, is also on the age...
