"Climate Crisis Won't Lead To Humanity's Demise": Bill Gates
Climate change "will not lead to humanity's demise," billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has said in a long memo in which he argued that tackling global disease and poverty will help prepare the planet's poorest for a warming world.

Not Like Venus Or Mars, Distant Exoplanet May Have Atmosphere Like Earth's
A distant exoplanet might have an atmosphere similar to Earth's, early observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest. It is part of a group of planets orbiting a star called TRAPPIST-1, about 40 light-years away from Earth.

Doomed Exoplanet TOI-2109b Spirals Toward Its Star with Three Possible Fates
The gas giant TOI-2109b, over five times Jupiter’s mass, is spiraling closer to its star in a rare planetary death spiral. With a 16-hour orbit and blistering heat, the exoplanet could either plunge into its host star, be torn apart by tidal forces, or evolve into a rocky super-Earth through photoevaporation. NASA’s TESS and ESA’s Cheops data...

NASA Curiosity Rover Potentially Deciphers Mars’ Missing Carbonate Mystery
NASA’s Curiosity rover potentially ended the mystery of the ancient atmosphere and missing carbonates. The research uncovers the potential reasons behind the temperature of the planet Mars and how it has supported the liquid water on the planet. Explore the findings and the discoveries made by NASA’s Curiosity rover.

Oceans Were Once Green, Could Change Colour Again: Study
Nearly three fourths of Earth is covered by oceans, making the planet look like a pale blue dot from space. But Japanese researchers have made a compelling case that Earth's oceans were once green, in a study published in Nature.

4 Small Planets Found Around One of Closest Stars To Earth: What We Know
Diminutive Barnards Star is closer in size to Jupiter than to the Sun. Only the three stars that make up the Alpha Centauri system lie closer to us.

New Seismic Data Challenges Earth's Inner Core Structure, Reveals Surprising Findings
Recent seismic data from 121 earthquakes recorded over three decades challenges previous beliefs about Earth's inner core. Researchers from the University of Southern California discovered structural changes in the core, suggesting it may not be as solid as once thought. These anomalies, observed while studying the core's slowing rotation, could of...

Hubble Telescope Finds Unexpectedly Hot Accretion Disk in FU Orionis
Hubble Space Telescope’s recent observations of FU Orionis have revealed surprising new details about the star’s accretion disk. The study found that the disk’s inner edge reaches temperatures as high as 16,000K, nearly three times hotter than the Sun’s surface. This discovery challenges existing models of stellar accretion, which had predi...

Perseverance Rover Sees Phobos Block the Sun During Martian Solar Eclipse
NASA's Perseverance rover recently captured a stunning solar eclipse on Mars, showcasing the moon Phobos as it partially blocked the sun. This remarkable event, photographed on September 30, 2024, was made possible by the rover's Left Mastcam-Z camera, which highlighted Phobos's irregular shape. Measuring about 17 miles long and orbiting Mars at a ...

NASA's Perseverance Rover Ascends Jezero Crater, Exploring Mars' Ancient Terrain
NASA’s Perseverance rover has initiated a critical new mission on Mars, beginning its ascent to the summit of Jezero Crater after three and half years of exploring its floor. This six-wheeled rover aims to reach the crater’s rim, which rises 1,000 feet above the Martian surface. The climb presents significant challenges, with Perseverance navig...

Samsung Releases Galaxy Time Watch Faces That Shows Real-Time Data of Planets in the Solar System
Samsung released new watch faces for its Galaxy Watch devices on March 31 which will tell users the current time on the different planets of the solar system. Dubbed Galaxy Time, the South Korean tech giant revealed that these watch faces were developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). There are eight watch faces in total wher...

Putin Warns Of World War 3 In First Comment After Landslide Win
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the West on Monday that a direct conflict between Russia and the U.S.-led NATO military alliance would mean the planet was one step away from World War Three but said hardly anyone wanted such a scenario.
