What Happens if You're Struck By A Tiny Black Hole? Study Reveals Shocking Details
A recent study explores the effects of tiny black holes on the human body, finding that while tidal forces would cause local damage, shock waves could be deadly, but the likelihood of being struck is incredibly low.

Research Reveals New Details About NGC 5018 Galaxy’s Clusters
A recent study of the NGC 5018 galaxy group, located about 132.5 million light years away in the Virgo constellation, provides new insights into its globular cluster (GC) system. Researchers analysed deep imaging data from the VLT Survey Telescope, revealing thousands of GC candidates, with a significant concentration around NGC 5018 itself. The st...

New Study Suggests the Moon Is 100 Million Years Older Than Previously Thought
Recent findings indicate the Moon might be over 100 million years older than prior estimates. A new study proposes that tidal forces caused intense heating and surface remelting around 4.35 billion years ago, resetting the apparent age of lunar rocks. These insights support the idea that massive collisions formed the Moon much earlier than previous...

NASA Explains Cause Behind the Moon Drifting Away From Earth
NASA explains that the Moon is gradually moving away from Earth at a rate of 4 cm per year. This process is driven by tidal forces between the two bodies, with Earth’s oceans creating friction that transfers energy to the Moon, pushing it into a higher orbit.

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...

Earth's Gravitational Pull Is 'Massaging' the Shrinking Moon
Globally distributed faults on the Moon are being influenced by gravitational tidal forces from Earth as the moon shrinks.

High Tide Alert: Mumbaikars Warned Against Venturing Near Sea
Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has issued an alert for tidal waves higher than 4.5 metres likely to hit the Mumbai shoreline this week.

European storm turns deadly, threatens huge tidal surge
A fierce storm battered northern Europe with hurricane force winds Thursday, leaving four people dead or missing, disrupting travel and forcing thousands to flee their homes over fears of the worst tidal surge in decades.

Fishermen stranded at Antarvedi village in East Godavari
The marine police force is expected to be rushed to rescue around 12 to 15 fishermen stranded in the middle of a coastal village Antarvedi, where the Godavari River's Vashista tributary meets the Bay of Bengal, due to high velocity tidal waves in the sea, an official said on Wednesday night.
