James Webb Space Telescope Reimagines Hubble’s Deep Field, Unveils Ancient Galaxies
The James Webb Space Telescope has re-imaged part of Hubble’s Ultra Deep Field, revealing over 2,500 galaxies in stunning infrared detail. Using its NIRCam and MIRI instruments, Webb observed faint galaxies dating back to just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. This is part of the JADES survey, which includes the deepest mid-infrared...

NASA Rockets Set to Journey Through Flickering, Disappearing Auroras
NASA is set to launch two groundbreaking rocket missions in January 2025 to unravel the mysteries of auroras. The GIRAFF mission will study fast-pulsating and flickering auroras, while the Black and Diffuse Aurora Science Surveyor mission will focus on dark auroral patches or "black auroras." By using advanced instruments to measure electron activi...

New Study Uncovers Discrepancies in Universe’s Expansion Rate, Challenges Cosmology Models
A recent study has revealed inconsistencies in the universe's expansion rate, further challenging established cosmological models. Measurements from the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) indicate that the universe is expanding at varying speeds. This discrepancy raises critical q...

NASA to Reportedly Launch an 'Artificial Star' Satellite to Help Astronomers Study the Cosmos
NASA's groundbreaking Landolt Space Mission will revolutionize astronomy by launching an artificial star into Earth's orbit by 2029. This satellite, about the size of a loaf of bread, will enhance the precision of ground-based telescopes, providing astronomers with more accurate measurements of celestial objects. Equipped with eight lasers, the sat...

Chandrayaan-3's Pragyan Rover Confirms Presence of Sulphur on Moon, Search for Hydrogen Underway: ISRO
The Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope instrument onboard 'Pragyan' rover of Chandrayaan-3 has unambiguously confirmed the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface near south pole, through first-ever in-situ measurements, ISRO said on Tuesday. It also said the instrument also detected aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, sili...

Material With Human-Like Memory Might Serve as an Alternative to Conventional Semiconductors
To reveal the unique memory property of the compound, the team conducted experiments and observed that VO2 could memorise the entire history of previous stimuli. The team noted that VO2 was capable of storing some kind of information in the recently applied current for at least three hours. According to Matioli, it could store the information for l...
