Vernal Equinox 2025: Date, Time, and the Science Behind the Event
The vernal equinox 2025 is set for March 20 at 09:01 UTC, marking the astronomical start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. This event occurs due to Earth’s axial tilt aligning with its orbit, resulting in nearly equal hours of daylight and night across the globe. While the equinox does not bring perfectly...

Comet 2024 G3 (ATLAS) Becomes the 'Great Comet' of 2025 with Stunning Display
Comet 2024 G3 (ATLAS) has captured the attention of astronomers with its incredible brightness and distinct tail structure. First observed in 2024, it became the brightest comet in 18 years, and it even reached a rare feat of being visible during daylight. This comet, which passed closest to the sun in January 2025, has earned the title of "Great C...

Seismic Data from NASA’s InSight Might Solve the Mystery of Mars’ Dichotomy
NASA’s InSight mission has provided seismic data shedding light on the Martian dichotomy, the split between Mars’ northern lowlands and southern highlands. Findings from the mantle’s seismic wave analysis suggest the split stems from ancient tectonic activity and magma dynamics, rather than asteroid impacts. Variations in crust thickness and ...

Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

Solar Storm Sparks Northern Lights Across Western Hemisphere on New Year's Eve
Solar storms on New Year’s Eve sparked breathtaking auroras across the US and Europe, with vibrant displays visible as far south as California, Austria, and Germany. Two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) struck Earth’s magnetic field, causing geomagnetic storms that reached G3 levels on January 1.

Irminger Sea’s Crucial Role in Atlantic Ocean Current Collapse Identified
A new study highlights the vital role of the Irminger Sea in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Increasing meltwater from the Arctic is weakening this critical ocean current, which regulates global climate. The research suggests that disruptions in the Irminger Sea could cause widespread climate shifts, including cooling in the...
