A massive marine heatwave, dubbed “the Blob,” has returned in the Pacific — this time it spans roughly 5,000 miles, stretching from Japanese waters across to the U.S. West Coast. The scale is unprecedented and deeply alarming.
Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrometer has revealed 'unexpected structures' high in Saturn’s atmosphere. Dark bead-like shapes embedded in bright auroral halos in the ionosphere, along with a star-shaped asymmetric feature in the stratosphere, are baffling scientists.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope may have found what could be the oldest known black hole — one formed less than one second after the Big Bang. If confirmed, this discovery would radically shift our understanding of how black holes originate.
NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered a Mars rock sample from the Bright Angel mudstone in Jezero Crater that may carry potential signs of ancient microbial life. Minerals like vivianite and greigite suggest organic interactions billions of years ago.
This is the first time in humans that donor islet cells have been genetically modified to evade the immune system entirely. Type 1 diabetes is caused when a person’s immune system mistakenly attacks the islet cells in their pancreas, which are responsible for insulin production.
1/ What lies at 0°N, 0°E on Earth? This is the exact point where the Equator and the Prime Meridian intersect. On a map, it looks like a natural “origin” for global coordinates. But the reality of what sits at this location is surprising and a little strange.
What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning of everything – but the middle?
In a research paper authored by Manisha Caleb from the University of Sydney, the team report upon the discovery of FRB 20240304B which lies at a redshift of 2.148 +/- 0.001, corresponding to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang.
Entanglement defies everyday intuition. Classical physics tells us signals need time to travel, yet entangled particles appear connected beyond space. They behave as one system, no matter the separation. This forces us to rethink what “distance” and “locality” even mean.
NASA engineers revived a set of Voyager 1’s backup thrusters that hadn’t worked since 2004. Those thrusters were long considered dead. The fix gives the aging spacecraft a backup if its primary thrusters fail.
The object is called ASKAP J1832−0911, or ASKAP J1832.
Harvard physicist Avi Loeb says new Hubble images of 3I/ATLAS show a glow in front of it, unlike normal comets that have tails behind them. This unusual light pattern raises doubts about whether it is a natural object or something artificial.
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations show that early galaxies are too bright, massive, and mature to fit our current models of cosmic evolution. This challenges the idea that galaxies gradually grew over billions of years.
The James Webb Space Telescope found that early galaxies don't spin randomly. Out of 263 studied, 62% spun clockwise. This imbalance challenges the idea of a symmetrical universe and hints at deeper cosmic forces or structures at play.
Scientists suggest Earth lies inside a massive cosmic void about 1 billion light-years wide, where galaxy density is around 20% lower than average. This finding is based on patterns from ancient sound waves called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs).
Physicists created matter from pure light — proving Einstein’s 90-year-old prediction
