NASA Reveals Rapid X-Ray Fading In Young Stars Could Favour Life-Hosting Planets
The research team used additional data from the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite and ROSAT mission to identify stars in stellar clusters.

First Black Hole Ever Discovered 62 Years Ago Is Emitting Jets With Energy Of 10,000 Suns
Originally discovered in 1964, Cygnus X-1 is blasting "dancing jets" into space with the force of 10,000 Suns.

Is Your Brain Shrinking? Why Your Current Vitamin D Levels Could Matter In 20 Years
A new study says that your vitamin D level in your 30s and 40s is a determining factor of your brain age in your 60s and 70s. This is another reason to pay attention to your vitamin D levels to ensure your brain remains sharp and alert in your later

NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures Rare Real-Time Breakup Of Comet K1
Co-investigator Noonan noted that Hubble had never before observed a disintegrating comet at such close proximity to the actual moment of fragmentation.

Scientists Discover Why Some Regions On The Sun Produce More Intense Flares
This study focused on regions that remain active for longer periods, where the strong magnetic field takes at least a month to weaken.

Study Reveals NASA Spacecraft Crash Altered Path Of Asteroid Pair Around The Sun
In September 2022, as part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, a spacecraft collided with the small satellite of the asteroid Dimorphos.

Study Reveals March Equinox "Effect" And Solar Activity Boost Chances Of Seeing Northern Lights
According to NASA, the solar cycle is a natural process of the Sun, in which the Sun goes through periods of increased and decreased activity approximately every 11 years.

Europe's Sun-Observation Satellite Loses Contact With Ground Control: Here's What We Know
Proba-3 consists of two satellites - the Coronagraph and the Occulter, and the former has gone dark.

NASA’s Carruthers Observatory Begins Mission to Study Earth’s Hydrogen Halo
NASA’s Carruthers Observatory has begun its two-year science mission to study Earth’s hydrogen-rich exosphere from a halo orbit at Sun–Earth L1. Equipped with ultraviolet cameras, the small satellite will continuously image the faint geocorona, tracking how solar storms and fast solar wind streams cause the upper atmosphere to expand, contrac...

Planet-Eating Stars Offer a Glimpse Into Earth’s Fate as the Sun Nears Its Final Stages
Astronomers studying aging Sun-like stars have found strong evidence that stars consume their closest planets as they evolve. Using data from NASA’s TESS mission, researchers observed fewer planets around older stars, suggesting worlds are destroyed over time. The findings offer a realistic preview of Earth’s fate billions of years from now.

Scientists Observe Solar Neutrinos Altering Matter for the First Time
Scientists have directly observed solar neutrinos altering matter for the first time, confirming a decades-old prediction in particle physics. This landmark result provides the lowest-energy measurement of a neutrino–nucleus interaction ever recorded and opens a powerful new way to study elusive neutrinos, nuclear reactions, and the inner working...

Can Sunlight Exposure Actually Reduce Cancer Risk?
Sunlight is a major risk for skin cancer while studies find that people with higher sun exposure have lower incidence or mortality for some cancers. Here's what we know about the sun and cancer link.
