Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

Groundbreaking Propulsion Method Using Relativistic Electron Beams Could Enable Interstellar Travel
A new propulsion method, using relativistic electron beams, could make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime. Researchers Jeff Greason and Gerrit Bruhaug have proposed accelerating electrons to near light speed to deliver kinetic energy to spacecraft. This method could enable probes to reach 10% of the speed of light, drastically red...

Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 Nears Supersonic Milestone with Mach 0.95 Test Flight
Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator reached a significant milestone in its 11th test flight, hitting Mach 0.95 at a low altitude of 8,986 metres. The test, conducted on January 10, 2025, not only demonstrated the aircraft’s ability to handle extreme air pressure but also moved the company closer to achieving supersonic speeds. This breakthrough...

Common Noctule Bats Use Warm Winds to Migrate More Than 1000 km Across Europe, Claims Study
Researchers have tracked the migration of common noctule bats using lightweight transmitters, uncovering their remarkable ability to travel over 1000 kilometers in just a few days. These bats adapt their routes and timing based on environmental factors, such as tailwinds and warming weather conditions, to maximise efficiency. The study provides cri...

Why Time Slows Down In Altered States Of Consciousness
We all know that time seems to pass at different speeds in different situations. For example, time appears to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places. A week in a foreign country seems much longer than week at home.

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...

Scientists Demonstrate Negative Time in Quantum Experiments at Toronto Lab
University of Toronto researchers observed “negative time” in photons through quantum experiments. Led by physicist Daniela Angulo, the study measured interactions between light and matter, revealing energy state changes in less than zero duration. While it challenges traditional time concepts, the findings remain consistent with Einstein's rel...

Here's How James Webb Space Telescope Helps Us Look Back in Time
The James Webb Space Telescope allows astronomers to explore the universe’s history by observing light that has travelled across billions of light-years. This unique capability enables scientists to see how galaxies, stars, and other celestial bodies appeared billions of years ago, offering a glimpse into the early stages of the universe. By stud...

NASA's X-59 Supersonic Jet Completes Initial Engine Tests, First Flight Approaching
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic jet has passed initial engine testing, bringing it closer to its anticipated first flight. Developed at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, the X-59 aims to break the sound barrier without creating disruptive sonic booms, featuring a unique elongated nose and an external vision system. This research will gather public re...

Oropouche Virus Surfaces in Europe: What You Need to Know
For the first time, the Oropouche virus has been reported in Europe, affecting travelers returning from the Americas. Detected in Spain, Italy, and Germany, this virus is carried by midges, a type of biting fly, and mosquitoes. It causes symptoms similar to Zika virus, such as fever, muscle aches, and rash. In about 4% of cases, it can lead to nerv...
