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 ...

James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Inside-Out Galaxy 700 Million Years After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a unique “inside-out” galaxy from 700 million years after the Big Bang. Unlike most galaxies, JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097 has stars forming rapidly at its outskirts rather than at its core, providing the earliest evidence of predicted galaxy growth patterns. Researchers used JWST’s advanced Near-In...

Milky Way and Andromedia Fated Collision Might Not Happen, Reveals New Study
Recent research has cast doubt on the certainty of the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision, suggesting the event may not be as inevitable as once thought. Traditionally, astronomers have predicted that our galaxy would merge with Andromeda within the next 5 billion years, creating a new elliptical galaxy often referred to as "Milkomeda." However, ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Unveils New Insights into Solar Heating Mystery
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has delivered groundbreaking insights into one of the sun's most perplexing mysteries: why its outer atmosphere, or corona, is significantly hotter than its surface. This phenomenon, known as the "coronal heating mystery," has puzzled scientists for decades. The Parker Solar Probe, which is the fastest human-made object, h...
