Teams are now working toward no earlier than 5.15 am EST on Friday, 13 February, for liftoff…
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…
Did NASA just find an Earth twin nearby or is this planet too cold for life? Know the truth (Image Source – NASA) A planet that looks faintly familiar has emerged from old space telescope data, though it may be far from welcoming.

NASA uses AI to scan 35 years of Hubble data and finds space mysteries humans missed (Image source: NASA) For more than 35 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has been quietly building one of the largest visual records of the universe ever assembled. The problem is scale. With nearly 100 million small image cutouts stored…
