Gold was not born on our planet Earth; it was forged in a violent ‘cosmic forge’ far beyond our solar system. Research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters identifies a ‘missing link’ in the cosmos, proving that gold existed in the early universe long before rare star collisions could create it, with the identification of…
Looking out to the future, we see a gradual but also very important shift occurring right under our feet; the Earth’s own rhythm has begun to alter and slow down. New studies by researchers from both ETH Zurich and the University of Vienna have demonstrated that climate change caused by humans is making our planet’s…
NASA’s Space Umbrella Project: Earth’s magnetic field vs. solar winds (Image source: NASA) There is a constant outward flow of charged particles from the Sun. This flow, known as the solar wind, moves across space and reaches Earth every day. When it arrives, it meets the planet’s magnetic field, an invisible region that bends and…
Tyrannoroter heberti is a 307-million-year-old land vertebrate that may have been one of the earliest animals to consume plants. Most land vertebrates of that time were predators, feeding on insects or smaller animals. Fossil evidence indicates that T. heberti had features suggesting it also ate plant matter.The fossilised skull of T. heberti was discovered in…
Seeing the Earth from space never gets old. NASA astronaut Zena Cardman recently shared a breathtaking time-lapse video that seems to capture the planet in all its glory. Filmed during SpaceX’s CRS-33 mission, the clip compresses hours of orbital movement into a few magical seconds. Lightning storms flicker, sunsets blaze, stars twinkle, and the Moon…
NEW DELHI: An agreement for cooperation on rare earths and critical minerals, bilateral trade target of $30 billion by 2030 and Global South solidarity in technology that, according to PM Narendra Modi, must be inclusive and act as a bridge for shared progress were among the highlights of Modi’s bilateral meeting with Brazilian President Luiz…
Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva during a joint press meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Saturday set a target to raise bilateral trade to $20 billion within five years and signed key agreements in areas including rare earth minerals, digital…
NASA is returning to Earth in a big way. The space agency announced two new satellite missions that might change ‘how we see’ and ‘understand our home planet’. These are not just any satellites; rather, they are supposed to track everything from the ozone layer high up in the sky to glaciers and ice sheets…
NASA finds Earth’s magnetic field may be the hidden reason oxygen has lasted for millions of years Scientists have debated for decades whether Earth’s magnetic field plays a role in keeping the planet habitable. The question matters because Earth stands apart from other rocky worlds. It has a long-lived magnetic field generated deep inside the…
Can Mars let humans age faster? It sounds more poetic than reality, but it may be true technically. Two identical clocks: One on Earth other on Mars, after months, they slowly drift apart. Space already feels strange to most of us. A strange revelation: Time itself doesn’t behave the same everywhere. Recent research suggests clocks…
