A team of scientists has discovered a string of “dashes” located in the middle of our Milky Way galaxy that are arranged in an unexpected pattern. The hundreds of structures are about five to ten light-years long and are all pointing towards the black hole located at the galaxy’s core. Northwestern University researcher Farhad Yusef-Zadeh […]
A team of academics from the University of Aberdeen has created a device to prove that water can form on Mars’ surface. Named Habit (Habitability: Brine Irradiation and Temperature), the tool developed by the Department of Planetary Sciences will monitor how unique salts absorb any available moisture from the Martian atmosphere, which could ultimately result […]
A group of experts, including those who played a pivotal role in developing AI, have warned that it could lead to the extinction of humanity and should be addressed with the same urgency as nuclear war. Artificial intelligence is the intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by animals and humans. AI includes […]
NASA recently held a public panel to discuss what they call “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP), or what many refer to as UFOs. The goal of the panel is to examine these sightings and make it easier for people to report UAPs. However, NASA representatives have noted that the panel has received significant harassment, which has […]
An innovative wooden satellite called LignoSat is set to launch into orbit joint in 2024 by NASA and Japan’s space agency Jaxa. The idea is supported by the recent scientific tests carried out by an international research group led by researchers from Kyoto University. The experiments conducted on wood samples brought back to Earth by […]
Japan is planning to accomplish a groundbreaking feat by being the first-ever country to transmit solar energy from space back to Earth on a large scale. Reports suggest that the Japanese space agency JAXA, in collaboration with private companies, is leading the development of the first satellite transmitters, which are due to be installed by […]
Scientists have long sought to find evidence of alien life beyond our own planet, and the possibility of finding it on Saturn’s moon Enceladus is one of the most promising theories. Enceladus boasts salty water and other conditions that support the possibility of life. Now, new observations have added more compelling evidence into the mix. […]
South Korea conducted a successful test of its homegrown Nuri space rocket on Thursday 25th May. This was the third launch for the Nuri, which was carrying multiple satellites on this occasion. In June of last year, the nation conducted a successful test of the rocket and put dummy satellites into orbit. This test was […]
During his appearance at the annual Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) CEO Council Summit in London, Elon Musk voiced his concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) being used for weapon development by governments across the globe. He believes that as AI improves, it has the capability to eliminate or constrain humanity’s growth. Mr Musk said that the […]
A sunspot larger than the size of Earth is making its way across the Sun’s surface, according to astronomers. The sunspot named AR3310 can be seen without a telescope as long as one has the right protective equipment like eclipse glasses containing lenses designed to block harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays. If you’re in Canada […]
